Johor Bahru's new-launch market has been reshaped by one thing: the RTS Link to Singapore. Projects within walking distance of the CIQ complex or the upcoming Bukit Chagar station carry a genuine cross-border commuting story, not just marketing language — and that's what separates the strongest listings here from the rest of the city's stock.

The newest additions sit away from the CIQ core but within reach of the RTS Link and the Eastern Dispersal Link: Monterra @ Solaris Tebrau in Tebrau, Southkey NADI Residences in Southkey City, and The Straits View Duo in Permas Jaya. Each page states the distances the developer publishes.

As with any border-driven market, timing and connectivity matter more than the general "Johor Bahru" label. A project 600m from CIQ and one 6km away are different investment cases even if both are technically in JBCC.
