Mah Sing Group Bhd is set to dramatically raise the bar on luxury living with its latest residential development, M Tiara, in Skudai, Johor. This development offers residents a life of elegance in the regal splendour of colonial charm and lush greenery, combining Johor’s architecture, tradition and modern luxury.

With a gross development value of RM480 million, this timeless abode sits on 75.7 acres of freehold land, comprising double-storey terraced houses and double-storey cluster homes. This low-density development offers 754 units spread across three phases, with 223 units for Phase 1, 368 units for Phase 2 and 163 units for Phase 3.

Homebuyers have the option of choosing between two floor plans. Type A has a land size of 20ft by 70ft while Type B offers a longer driveway with a land size of 20ft by 75ft. The houses have built-up areas of 1,798 to 1,828 sq ft.

M Tiara Phase 1A, whose selling price starts from RM715,000 for bumiputera units, has seen a 100% take-up rate for all the non-bumiputera units since opening for registration in June 2024. M Tiara Phase 2A and 2B’s double-storey terraced homes are targeted to be launched by 4Q2024, while M Tiara Phase 3 is set to be launched by 1Q2025. These double-storey cluster houses will be bigger and come with a private garden space, ideal for families with growing children. The award-winning developer is confident that all future phases will garner the same strong and optimistic response as M Tiara Phase 1.

M Tiara features a practical, open-concept layout that maximises usability by avoiding space wastage, making it flexible for homeowners to explore renovation ideas to match their lifestyles. The windows in all rooms, including the bathrooms, are strategically sized and placed to promote good ventilation and invite ample penetration of natural light, which creates a smooth transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, making your home brighter and more welcoming. The spacious layout enhances social interaction among family members, making it ideal for both everyday living and gatherings.

Mah Sing CEO of property subsidiaries Benjamin Ong says, “M Tiara is perfect for multigenerational families and growing families looking to upsize and upgrade their lifestyles, local young adults, couples and professionals working in Johor Bahru and Singapore. This addition to Mah Sing’s many successful developments in Johor is strategically placed to capture the vibrancy and excitement of its surroundings, while still maintaining a tranquil and luxurious living behind its gate. M Tiara is a beautiful place to call home, especially for those who are seeking an exceptional standard of living.”

Understanding the importance of sustainability and minimal maintenance, Mah Sing used top-quality fixtures and fittings that provide long-lasting value, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing living environment that prioritises comfort and ease. Each unit comes with four bedrooms (one on the ground floor and three on the first floor) and three bathrooms (one on the ground floor and two on the first floor).

Meeting the needs of modern living, M Tiara has introduced The Tiara Grove, a nine-acre sustainable environment that offers cross-generational facilities to cater to individual needs while nurturing communal engagement. Living in a green and shared facilities environment encourages residents to foster community connections, creating a family-friendly atmosphere. This will enhance life quality and promote an active and engaged lifestyle with abundant social opportunities.

Children can play at the integrated playground and mounding area and families can bond and relax at the vast landscape, sheltered plaza and open lawn with benches. There is also a tree-shaded decking area where residents can work while enjoying nature. This greenery-rich environment brings comfort and improves air quality, thus enriching life and boosting health.

Furthermore, wellness enthusiasts can explore the shaded outdoor gym, extreme bicycle trail, looping walk path, boardwalk with trees lining the side, and the mounding area with a small path, which is suitable for practising yoga. Mah Sing has also incorporated a diversity of species into its permaculture effort in this community oasis. By aligning with the developer’s tagline “Reinvent Spaces, Enhance Life”, residents get to find balance in nature and enjoy a harmonious living environment for every generation.

With Mah Sing’s commitment to building sustainable properties, the whole development is linked by a 2.1km walkway and bike lanes to encourage residents to walk and bike more instead of using vehicles. The developer hopes residents will join the efforts to reduce the carbon footprint and improve air quality. Solar-powered LED street lights are installed on the premises to promote energy-saving measures and higher efficiency. This contributes to environmental sustainability, making it a responsible choice for future generations. Holding the prestigious GreenRE Bronze certification, M Tiara incorporates initiatives to reduce energy waste and maintain a cool, comfortable living environment as part of the living experience.

Residents will have peace of mind knowing that they are living in a gated and guarded community with 24-hour security.

Perfectly positioned in the mature township of Mutiara Rini in Skudai, M Tiara is in close proximity to many well-established amenities. Commercial centres and retail conveniences like Lotus’s and Mydin Mall at the Mutiara Rini commercial hub, Sutera Mall, Paradigm Mall JB, Aeon Taman Universiti and Aeon Mall Bukit Indah are just a short drive away. Legoland, Puteri Harbour, Johor Bahru City Square, Johor Premium Outlets and Ikea Tebrau are all within 25km.

Residents can find respite at Sireh Park and Hutan Bandar Rini, or play a round of golf at Impian Emas Golf Club, Horizon Hills Golf & Country Club or Starhill & Country Club. There are also good educational institutions nearby like SJK(C) Thorburn, SJK(C) Ping Ming, Southern University College, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and EduCity Iskandar, just to name a few.

Residents will be relieved to know that there are eight hospitals less than 10km away, including Columbia Asia Iskandar Puteri, Kensington Green Specialist Centre and Gleneagles Hospital Medini Johor. Overall, residents will have all their necessities met and be spoiled for choice in their pursuit of fun and exciting activities or relaxing moments from sunrise to sundown.

Apart from the impressive amenities, M Tiara’s outstanding location grants residents excellent connectivity to all the major roads and highways such as the Iskandar Coastal Highway, Johor Bahru Eastern Dispersal Link and Pasir Gudang Highway. Residents can enjoy direct access to Skudai Highway, Senai International Airport and Johor Bahru city centre through Jalan Skudai-Gelang Patah.

Important landmarks like Kota Iskandar, Istana Bukit Serene and Larkin Sentral are easily accessible through various roads and highways. With just a 22-minute drive to the Malaysia-Singapore first and second links, residents of M Tiara who work across the Causeway will have a hassle-free commute between Johor Bahru and Singapore. The upcoming Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS Link) will provide a direct connection between Johor Bahru and Singapore, making it more convenient for those who work across the border.

“We speak about value creation — providing homeowners comfortable living spaces, a holistic lifestyle [and] high connectivity. We also incorporate green features and eco-living initiatives into our new developments. We grow our projects by adding higher value,” says Ong.

“The Iskandar Malaysia economic zone, established to transform Johor Bahru into a major economic hub, has attracted both local and foreign investments. The development of infrastructure, such as highways, ports and airports, along with incentives for business, has spurred growth in the housing market.”

This comes after the success of Mah Sing’s homes in Johor Bahru, including the Meridin East township in Pasir Gudang, M Minori in Seri Austin and Meridin Bayvue, Meridin Medini and Sri Pulai Perdana in Iskandar Malaysia.
