Maxim Global Berhad — Developer Profile & Trust
Maxim The Address is developed by Maxim Global Berhad, a Bursa Malaysia-listed company with a land bank exceeding 80,000 hectares across property, agriculture and industrial sectors — and it is a different project from "The Address" in Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur, which experienced a 2020 construction incident. If your search has mixed the two up, this page sets the record straight and lays out the developer’s credentials.
Important: Maxim The Address (JB) ≠ The Address @ Taman Desa (KL)
There are two separate projects with similar names:
| Maxim The Address (this project) | The Address @ Taman Desa (KL) | |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Taman Pelangi, Johor Bahru | Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur |
| Tenure | Freehold | Leasehold |
| Developer entity | Maxim Pelangi Sdn Bhd (Maxim Global) | A separate Maxim Global-linked project |
| 2020 incident | Not involved | A construction incident occurred there |
If you’ve read about a 2020 collapse, that was the Kuala Lumpur Taman Desa project — not Maxim The Address in Johor Bahru. They are different developments in different states.

Why developer strength matters
Off-plan buyers carry delivery risk, so a listed developer with a track record and institutional backing is a meaningful reassurance — one of the six checks in the investor framework.
