Maxim The Address Location & Connectivity
Maxim The Address sits on Jalan Abiad in Taman Pelangi, Johor Bahru — about 3 km from the JB CIQ (Causeway checkpoint), about 6.5 km from the upcoming Bukit Chagar RTS Link station, about 3.2 km from KSL City Mall and a short drive from Mid Valley Southkey. It is an established, mature township location rather than a construction frontier: the roads, schools, food and retail have been in place for decades. That combination — border proximity plus a fully built-up neighbourhood — is the core of its location appeal.

The RTS Link advantage
The Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link is the single most important infrastructure driver in the corridor. It connects Bukit Chagar in JB to Woodlands North in Singapore in about five minutes, with capacity for up to 10,000 passengers per hour each way, and is expected to begin operations in 2027. Maxim The Address is about 6.5 km from the station, so it is not walking distance. A shuttle to the station has been proposed for the development but is not confirmed.
A mature township, not a frontier
Taman Pelangi has decades of built-up infrastructure: established schools and tuition centres, clinics, banks (including Maybank), wet markets and one of JB’s richest food scenes. Unlike newer fringe launches, tenants and owners do not wait years for amenities to arrive — they are already here, "stress-tested" over time.
Honest note on the 3 km distance
Some competing projects sit closer to the CIQ and charge a premium for it. Maxim The Address trades a little distance for a markedly lower entry price (around RM100k less than some RTS-adjacent rivals) and a more established neighbourhood. A shuttle has been proposed but is not confirmed. Whether that trade-off suits you depends on whether you prioritise absolute walk-to-CIQ proximity or value-plus-maturity.
