Johor bahru: Mah Sing Group Berhad (Mah Sing) has achieved a significant milestone with the opening of its M Grand Minori project, the first development under its premium M Grand Series in Johor.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, Mah Sing Group chief executive officer and executive director Datuk Voon Tin Yow announced that the project, with an estimated Gross Development Value (GDV) of RM1.5 billion, received an encouraging response, with Phase 1 of Tower A, comprising 843 serviced apartment units, achieving a 90 per cent take-up rate over a single weekend. The development spans 5.99 acres in the established neighbourhood of Taman Pelangi, strategically located just three kilometres from the upcoming Bukit Chagar Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link station.
The strategic location near the Bukit Chagar RTS Link station is expected to provide a direct five-minute connection to Singapore’s Woodlands North, tapping into the growing demand driven by enhanced cross-border connectivity. Voon emphasized the increasing interest in homes offering upgraded features, greater convenience, and a premium living experience, with the M Grand Series crafted to meet these expectations and cater to a broader range of homebuyers.
Meanwhile, Mah Sing chief operating officer James Lim Chee Meng highlighted that the two-phase project is expected to be completed in the third quarter of this year. Phase 1 includes a retail podium and two towers of serviced apartments, with built-up areas ranging from 403 to 835 square feet. The project offers various layouts, including studio, one- to three-bedroom units, with selected units featuring a dual-key concept.
Lim added that the project offers partially furnished units catering to move-in-ready buyers, upgraders, working professionals, investors, and cross-border commuters seeking convenience, mobility, and city access. Designed for today’s urban dwellers, the project includes 41 facilities such as an infinity pool, gym, co-working lounge, yoga deck, multipurpose hall, and children’s play areas. Sustainable features include an express car park ramp, rainwater harvesting system, EV charging stations, and an automated waste collection system.
The project is certified GreenRE, reflecting its commitment to energy efficiency and environmentally responsible design. Lim emphasized that every detail is thoughtfully planned to enhance the living experience, with the retail podium complementing and extending the mature food and beverage scene in Taman Pelangi.
Mah Sing founder and group managing director Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum expressed pride in the company’s strong presence in Johor for 25 years, highlighting its reputation as a seasoned developer with a deep understanding of the local market.
