Location and the walk to Bukit Chagar

TriTower Residence is on Jalan Tengku Azizah at JB Sentral, about 900 m from Bukit Chagar RTS by IQI’s published figure. IQI estimates a 15-minute walk; another blog says 10. We have not timed it.

The appeal is the JB Sentral side of the station: KTM and ETS trains, buses and City Square are all close. Once the RTS opens in February 2027, check whether the walk to Bukit Chagar can go through covered links or means crossing main roads.

Units and prices

TriTower is a freehold project by SKS Group, completed in 2018. PropertyGuru lists 360 units with sizes from 668 sq ft to 1,347 sq ft, though listings also show studios of around 500 sq ft and larger units of 1,600 sq ft or more. We could not reconcile those numbers, so check the strata plan for the unit you view.

On 12 October 2026, PropertyGuru showed about 100 sale listings. The first page asked:

Layout	Size	Asking prices seen
Studio	500 sq ft	RM550,000
1 bedroom	650 to 668 sq ft	RM510,000 to RM610,000
2 bedroom	882 to 942 sq ft	RM580,000 to RM889,000
3 bedroom	1,262 to 1,346 sq ft	RM1,027,000 to RM1,580,000

For a real price, a 1,262 sq ft unit sold for RM897,600 (RM711 psf) in November 2021, as reported by EdgeProp. IQI quotes TriTower “from RM990,000”, which looks like an old or selective figure.

Can Singaporeans buy here?

Only units priced at RM1 million or more, with Johor state consent. In practice that means the 3-bedroom units, asked at RM1.03m and up.

Several listings at RM460,000 to RM610,000 are tagged “foreigner eligible” or “foreigner can buy”. We could not find the basis for this. The New Straits Times reported in April 2026 that sub-RM1m units sold to foreigners through developer approval can only be resold to Malaysians while their value stays under RM1m. Unless an agent can show you a written approval that covers your purchase, assume a sub-RM1m TriTower unit is closed to you. Our buying guide covers the consent process.

Rental evidence

TriTower has been tenanted for years, and PropertyGuru showed 146 rental listings on 12 October 2026. Asking rents on the first page were RM3,100 for a 942 sq ft 2-bedder, RM4,300 for a 1,262 sq ft 3-bedder, and RM2,400 to RM3,500 for large studio-style units. A master room was offered at RM1,800.

On a 3-bedder asking RM1.03m and renting at RM4,300, gross yield is about 5.0% before costs. Our cost calculator adds the 8% stamp duty and 3% Johor levy you pay upfront.

Who it suits

TriTower suits a Singaporean who wants a finished 3-bedroom at about RM1m that is already earning rent, near JB Sentral and within a kilometre of the RTS. It also suits someone who wants to check the building, maintenance and tenant demand in person before buying.

It suits less well if you were hoping for a cheaper unit; those are generally reserved for Malaysian buyers.

What to check before you book

Written proof of any “foreigner eligible” claim, checked by your lawyer.
That your unit is priced at RM1m or more on the sale and purchase agreement.
Recent transacted prices for the same size, since asks for 942 sq ft units range from RM580,000 to RM889,000.
Signed rents and the vacancy history of the unit.
Maintenance fees, the sinking fund, and the condition of lifts and common areas eight years after completion.

Common questions

How far is TriTower Residence from Bukit Chagar RTS?

About 900 m according to IQI, which estimates a 15-minute walk. Another source estimates 10 minutes. We have not timed it.

Some TriTower listings say 'foreigner eligible'. Is that true?

We could not confirm it. Johor's rule is that foreigners buy at RM1 million or more, and the April 2026 reporting we found describes no route for foreigners to buy cheaper resale units. Ask the agent which approval the claim relies on, and have your lawyer check it before you pay a deposit.

What rent can a TriTower unit get?

Asking rents on 12 October 2026 were about RM3,100 a month for a 942 sq ft 2-bedder and RM4,300 for a 1,262 sq ft 3-bedder. These are listing prices, not signed leases.

Is TriTower Residence freehold?

Yes, according to PropertyGuru and EdgeProp.
