Johor Properties

Located just a stone's throw away from Singapore, Johor Malaysia is the capital city of Malaysia in the southern area. Its capital city, Johor Bahru races after Malaysia's capital city, Kuala Lumpur. Johor Bahru (or popularly known as JB) boasts of having a population of about 900,000 in the city alone.

Johor is one of the primary urban centers in Malaysia and with a swelling population, and lucrative tourism earnings, which it rightfully gained because of its geographically ideal location, its real estate industry has boomed over the years.

Development projects abound in Johor as it elevates itself from being an agricultural state to a manufacturing one. Johor properties range from low-cost housing to condominiums and even mass housing to accommodate its population's increasing demand for quality and affordable shelter.

Conveniently located geographically at the southernmost city of Malaysia and Pasir Pelangi, JB paves the way for the tourists to reach the other states of Malaysia through its bridges and road links to and from Singapore.

Johor properties, specifically housing estates are located mostly in the South and West districts.

Southern area has housed the residential core for over 30 years, while the West area boasts of having the Port of Tanjung Pelepas and other significant housing estates like Taman Skudai Baru, Taman Perling, Taman Nusa Bestari, and Taman Ungku Tun Aminah.

Johor has attracted the global investors, and this has led property developers to deviate from low to medium-range residential properties to high-end homes, resort style.

The objective of its local government is to develop communities that are peaceful, with more than just quality housing but with adequate facilities that ensures a healthy, peaceful and safe living environment. The aim is to reach not just the rich, but also to make this quality of living affordable to the low and middle earners.

Melati Ehsan Group, one of the popular developers of Johor properties, has made the vision of providing affordable houses to the masses possible. This group pursues to build more low and medium cost houses and properties to address the needs of the low -income earners in Johor.

The people-friendly government of Johor continues to implement pro-active housing projects that will cater to having affordably priced homes.
