Twin Tower Residence (Pangsapuri Duo): Completion Date, Developer & Key Facts

If you are researching Twin Tower Residence (Pangsapuri Duo), the first questions are usually the basics: when was it completed, who built it, and what exactly are you buying? This fact file answers those questions in one place, using details from public property portals and news reports. Twin Tower Residence was completed in 2023 by Parasky Projects Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of SKS Group, and it is a freehold serviced residence beside the Bukit Chagar RTS station in Johor Bahru.

Twin Tower Residence key facts at a glance

When was Twin Tower Residence completed?

Twin Tower Residence was completed in 2023. That date matters for three practical reasons.

1. You can inspect what you buy. With a completed building, the view, the finishes, the corridor, the lift lobbies and the facilities are all real. There is no need to rely on a brochure or a show unit.
2. Rental income can start quickly. A buyer of a completed unit does not wait several years for construction. Once the purchase completes and the unit is furnished, it can be offered for rent – and some units are sold with tenants already in place.
3. It is one of the newer buildings in the corridor. Several well-known projects around JB Sentral and the CIQ were finished in or before 2018. A 2023 building generally has younger lifts, pumps and finishes, which helps both tenant appeal and resale.

Why is it also called Pangsapuri Duo?

In Malaysia, many developments carry a Malay name on approval and land documents that differs from the English marketing name. “Pangsapuri” means apartment and “Duo” refers to the pair of towers, so Pangsapuri Duo is literally “the twin apartments”. You may see this name on a bank valuation, an assessment bill, a land search or older listings. If you are comparing portal data, search under both names – you will sometimes find listings or transaction records filed under one name only.

Who is the developer of Twin Tower Residence?

The developer is Parasky Projects Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of SKS Group. SKS is headquartered in Johor Bahru and is active in property development, investment holding and hospitality. Its earlier residential project TriTower Residence was completed in 2018 beside JB Sentral, which means the group has delivered two completed residential addresses in the same city-centre transport corridor.

SKS also has a growing hospitality arm. In July 2023, EdgeProp reported that SKS Group signed agreements with Marriott International for a 345-room Sheraton hotel on Jalan Storey in Johor Bahru, alongside a RM250 million green loan facility from Alliance Bank, and noted that its Four Points by Sheraton Desaru opened in 2021.

What does freehold tenure mean for you?

Freehold means the land interest has no expiry date, unlike leasehold property, which typically runs for a fixed term such as 99 years. For buyers this has several advantages:

• No lease to renew and no shrinking lease term to worry about when you eventually sell.
• Many buyers and banks view freehold favourably for long-term holding.
• It is easier to plan to keep the unit for decades or pass it to family.

Every strata title can carry its own conditions, so your lawyer should confirm the tenure, the land use category and any restrictions on the specific unit’s title before you sign.

How big is the development?

Twin Tower Residence rises 41 storeys and contains 458 units. Using PropertyGuru’s 1.48-acre land figure, that works out to roughly 458 ÷ 1.48 ≈ 309 units per acre – a typical density for a transit-oriented city-centre tower, where land is scarce and the value lies in proximity to transport rather than in large open grounds. The trade-off is that you get a strong address and walkability; the facilities are concentrated on the facilities level rather than spread across a big compound.

Unit types and sizes

Some portal listings quote studios at about 559 sq ft, so always rely on the strata title or sale and purchase agreement for the exact figure. Our floor plans guide explains how each layout is used.

What is a serviced residence, and how is it different from a condominium?

Twin Tower Residence is classified as a serviced residence (serviced apartment). In everyday use it feels much like a condominium: a strata unit in a guarded high-rise with shared facilities and a management body. In Malaysia, serviced residences are often built on land zoned for commercial use, which can affect matters such as utility tariff categories, how loans are documented and the quit rent rate. These details vary project by project, so check them with your lawyer and banker rather than assuming. For most owners and tenants the day-to-day experience is what counts – security, facilities, upkeep and location – and that is where Twin Tower is strongest.

What facilities and services come with the building?

Property portals list a swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, gymnasium and cardio room, jogging track, BBQ area, children’s playground and 24-hour security; some also mention an aero-yoga room, clubhouse and adult fitness stations. Because the building is completed, you can check each one during a viewing rather than relying on an artist’s impression. Our facilities tour covers how residents use them day to day.

Which buyers do these facts suit best?

Put together, the key facts – completed 2023, freehold, compact layouts and an address beside the RTS terminus – point to three main buyer groups:

• Singapore commuters who want to walk to the RTS or CIQ and keep housing costs in ringgit.
• Rental investors who prefer a finished asset with an observable tenant market and asking rents that can be checked today (for example RM3,000–3,500 a month for a 2 Bedroom on Mudah in October 2026, indicative only).
• Own-stay families and retirees who value freehold tenure and a walkable city-centre lifestyle with malls, trains and hospitals close by.

A short timeline: from TriTower to the RTS

The RTS Link will run about 4 km between Bukit Chagar and Woodlands North, with passengers clearing both countries’ immigration at the departure station. Fares and operating hours had not been officially announced as of October 2026. See the RTS Link guide for the latest.

How to find Twin Tower listings online without missing any

Because the project carries more than one name, listings are scattered. To get a complete picture of what is on the market:

1. Search portals for both “Twin Tower Residence” and “Pangsapuri Duo”.
2. Filter by the 80300 postcode or the Bukit Chagar area to catch listings with unusual titles.
3. Note the built-up size – 599, 882, 1,054 or 1,216 sq ft – to confirm the layout, since descriptions vary.
4. Remove duplicates: the same unit is often advertised by several agents at slightly different prices.
5. Record the date you checked, because asking prices move week to week.

Doing this once gives you a realistic sense of supply and pricing for the layout you want.

How to verify these facts yourself

• Ask your lawyer for a land or strata title search on the specific unit.
• Check the address and name (Twin Tower Residence or Pangsapuri Duo) on the assessment and quit rent bills.
• Request recent maintenance fee and sinking fund statements from the seller.
• Compare asking prices across portals and date-stamp what you see.
• Walk the route to the RTS station and CIQ yourself during a viewing.
