Johor’s landed property demand is supported by several long-term catalysts, including the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, RTS Link and large-scale investments.
Reuters reported that Malaysia and Singapore formalised the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone agreement, targeting high-value investments, 50 projects and 20,000 skilled jobs within the first five years.

Yes, especially for buyers who want extra land, better privacy and better ventilation without paying the full premium of a corner lot.
Intermediate lots are usually easiest to resell because they are more affordable and attract the widest buyer group.
Yes. Corner lots usually have larger land areas, more external walls and more landscaping needs, which may increase maintenance cost.
