Is Maxim The Address a Good Investment?
Maxim The Address is a freehold serviced apartment in Taman Pelangi, Johor Bahru, about 3 km from the JB CIQ, with the RTS Link to Singapore expected to open in 2027. Its appeal is the freehold title, the location close to the Causeway and a dual-key layout. No rental return is promised. This page sets out what supports demand and the risks to weigh, so you can decide on fundamentals rather than marketing.
Three ways buyers use it
Each layout suits a different plan. Pick the one that matches your budget and how you will live in or let the home.
1. The compact base (Type A, 450 sq ft, SPA from RM449,000).
The lowest entry price. Suits singles, couples and cross-border workers who want a freehold base close to the CIQ.
2. The two-bedroom (Type B, 660 sq ft, SPA from RM652,000).
Two bedrooms and two bathrooms for a couple or a small family, with a balcony and a yard.
3. The dual key (Type C, 865 sq ft, SPA from RM861,000).
Three bedrooms with two entrances on one title, so a parent, a grown-up child or a separate tenancy can have its own door. Comes with two car parks.
What supports demand
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| About 3 km to the JB CIQ | Roughly 3 to 6 minutes by car to the Causeway checkpoint |
| RTS Link, expected 2027 | Bukit Chagar station is about 6.5 km away; a shuttle to it is proposed |
| Freehold title | No lease expiry to plan around |
| An established neighbourhood | Taman Pelangi already has shops, banks and food; KSL City Mall is about 3.2 km away |
Rental income
We do not publish a yield figure. Rent depends on the unit, the furnishing, the asking rents when the building completes and how the unit is managed. If you plan to let, ask us for current asking rents for comparable units nearby, and test your numbers with a lower rent and a vacancy buffer.
If you are thinking about short-term letting, check the building’s house rules and the local council’s rules before you buy. Do not assume it is allowed.
Risks to weigh
- Time to completion. Vacant possession is estimated for 2030, so this is an off-plan purchase with no income before then.
- Density. Three towers and 2,743 homes in total, so expect competition from other owners when you let or resell.
- Distance to the RTS. The Bukit Chagar station is about 6.5 km away, not walking distance, and the shuttle is a proposal.
- Commercial title. The land is on a commercial title. Check how your bank treats it, and the charges that apply, before you book.
- Timelines. RTS and ART dates are government and operator targets and can move.
Frequently Asked Questions
What rental yield can I expect at Maxim The Address?
We do not publish a yield figure, and no return is promised. Rent depends on the unit, the furnishing, market rents at completion and management. Ask us for current asking rents nearby.
Is short-term rental allowed at Maxim The Address?
Check the building’s house rules and the local council’s rules first. This page does not assume it is allowed.
Is the dual-key unit worth it?
It suits buyers who want flexibility: two entrances on one title for family or a separate tenancy. It costs more than the smaller layouts, so it is not the cheapest way in.
Is Maxim The Address a good investment in 2026?
Its strengths are the freehold title, about 3 km to the CIQ and the RTS Link due in 2027. The trade-offs are high density, the 2030 completion estimate and the 6.5 km distance to the RTS station.
