Twin Tower Residence facilities are one of the reasons tenants and owners pick this freehold serviced residence in Bukit Chagar, Johor Bahru. Behind the tower’s prime position beside the Bukit Chagar RTS station sits a full set of shared amenities – from a swimming pool and jacuzzi to a sauna, steam room and gym. This complete tour explains what is available, how residents actually use each facility, and what to check when you view a unit.
Key takeaways
- Core facilities listed on portals: swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, gymnasium/cardio room, jogging track, BBQ area, children’s playground and 24-hour security.
- Some portals also list an aero-yoga room, clubhouse and adult fitness stations – confirm these during viewing.
- The facilities cover fitness, relaxation, family time and social use, which broadens tenant appeal.
- Because the project was completed in 2023, you can inspect the real facilities before you buy or rent.
- Malls, the railway station and the RTS are all close by, so residents get both resort-style amenities and city convenience.

The swimming pool and jacuzzi: your daily reset
For many residents the pool is the most-used facility. A typical pattern among city-centre residents is a quick swim before work or a slow evening dip after a day across the border. The jacuzzi adds a relaxing option for those who prefer to unwind rather than swim laps.
From an investor’s point of view, a pool is one of the first things prospective tenants ask about. Listing photos that show a clean, inviting pool area generally attract more enquiries than photos of the unit alone, so it is worth including a good pool photo when you advertise a rental.
What to check at the pool
- Water clarity and cleanliness of the pool deck and changing rooms.
- Opening hours and any guest rules (for example, how many visitors a resident may bring).
- Whether there is a separate shallow area or children’s section, and the supervision rules for children.
Sauna and steam room: wellness without leaving home
A sauna and steam room are less common in mid-sized city-centre projects, which makes them a genuine point of difference. Regular gym-goers often pair a workout with a short sauna or steam session, and residents who commute daily appreciate having a quiet place to relax right downstairs.
These facilities need regular maintenance – heaters, steam generators, ventilation and cleaning – which is one of the things your maintenance fee pays for. When you visit, check that they are operational and clean, and ask whether they run on fixed hours.
Gymnasium, cardio room and jogging track: staying fit near the CIQ
The gymnasium and cardio room let residents keep a routine without paying for an outside gym membership. Many Singapore-bound commuters have tight schedules; a gym a lift ride away is often the only way they will train consistently.
The jogging track offers an outdoor alternative for light runs or walks. Some portals also mention an aero-yoga room and adult fitness stations, which would add variety for residents who prefer stretching, yoga or bodyweight exercise.
Worked example: what a home gym can save
Suppose a resident would otherwise pay RM150 a month for an outside gym (this is an illustrative figure – check local gym prices yourself). Over a year that is RM150 × 12 = RM1,800. Over a three-year tenancy, RM1,800 × 3 = RM5,400. For a couple, double it to RM10,800. Seen this way, an in-house gym is part of the value a tenant receives for their rent – a useful point to make when marketing a unit.
BBQ area and clubhouse: space for friends and family
The BBQ area turns a compact apartment into a place where you can host. Birthday gatherings, weekend get-togethers with colleagues, or a family visit from Singapore or elsewhere in Malaysia are easier when you have an outdoor cooking space. Some portals also list a clubhouse, which would serve as an indoor gathering space.
Shared social facilities usually require booking through management. Ask about the booking process, any deposit, the time limits and the clean-up rules so you know what to expect before planning an event.
Children’s playground: a plus for young families
Families looking at the 2+1 Bedroom (1,054 sq ft) or 3 Bedroom (1,216 sq ft) layouts will want somewhere for children to play. The playground gives younger children a safe space within the guarded compound, which is especially valuable in a city-centre location where open parks are fewer than in the suburbs. See our guide to the 3 Bedroom layout for more on family living at Twin Tower.
24-hour security: why it matters next to the CIQ
A building beside a busy border crossing and transport hub needs reliable access control. Twin Tower Residence is listed with 24-hour security, and many residents value the comfort of a guarded lobby and controlled access to residential floors.
- Ask how visitor registration works and whether access cards are needed for lifts.
- Check how deliveries and food orders are handled – an important daily detail for busy commuters.
- For landlords, ask how tenants are registered with management and how replacement access cards are issued.
How different residents use the facilities: three scenarios
If you are a Singapore commuter
Your weekday is about time. A 30-minute gym session before heading out, then a short walk to the checkpoint – and later the RTS – means exercise does not compete with travel. On Friday evening, the jacuzzi or sauna becomes the end-of-week ritual.
If you are a young family
The playground and pool are the weekend anchors. Children play within the guarded compound while parents use the jogging track, and the BBQ area makes it easy to host grandparents or friends without a restaurant bill.
If you are a retiree
Gentle routines matter: a morning walk on the jogging track, a swim, a steam session, then a stroll to City Square for lunch. Having these within the building reduces the need to drive.
How do facilities affect rent and resale value?
Facilities do not set the price on their own – location, size, floor, view and furnishing matter more – but they shape how quickly a unit rents and how tenants feel about renewing. For Twin Tower the combination is strong: tenants get the amenities of a modern serviced residence plus an address next to the RTS and within walking distance of JB CIQ and JB Sentral.
| Tenant type | Facilities they value most | Typical layout |
|---|---|---|
| Single Singapore commuter | Gym, pool, 24-hour security | Studio (599 sq ft) |
| Couple or two sharing professionals | Pool, jacuzzi, gym, BBQ area | 2 Bedroom (882 sq ft) |
| Small family / home office | Playground, pool, security | 2+1 Bedroom (1,054 sq ft) |
| Own-stay family or retirees | Pool, sauna, steam room, jogging track | 3 Bedroom (1,216 sq ft) |
Indicative asking rents seen on Mudah in October 2026 were about RM2,300–3,000 a month for a studio and RM3,000–3,500 for a 2 Bedroom. Read the full rent guide for details by layout.
What do the maintenance fees pay for?
Every owner contributes a monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, usually calculated per square foot of the unit. These pay for cleaning, security, landscaping, utilities in common areas, insurance of the building, and the upkeep and eventual replacement of facilities such as pool pumps, gym equipment and sauna heaters.
Worked example: how to estimate your monthly charges
The formula is simple: unit size × rate per sq ft. Using a purely hypothetical combined rate of RM0.40 per sq ft – this is not Twin Tower’s actual rate, which you should take from the seller’s latest bill – the arithmetic looks like this:
- Studio: 599 × RM0.40 = RM239.60 a month.
- 2 Bedroom: 882 × RM0.40 = RM352.80 a month.
- 3 Bedroom: 1,216 × RM0.40 = RM486.40 a month.
Replace RM0.40 with the actual rate on the seller’s latest bill to get your real figure. Our article on maintenance fees and sinking fund explains how these charges work.
Beyond the building: city amenities on your doorstep
Twin Tower’s in-house facilities are complemented by what is outside the gate. Johor Bahru City Square and KOMTAR JBCC are within walking distance for shopping, dining and cinemas, and R&F Mall and KSL City Mall are a short drive away. JB Sentral, also within walking distance, gives access to KTM and ETS trains, and the Bukit Chagar RTS station beside the project is expected to open for passengers in February 2027 according to the operator’s October 2026 update.

Frequently asked questions
Does Twin Tower Residence have an infinity pool or sky bridge?
We have not been able to verify either feature, so we do not list them. Property portals describe a swimming pool and jacuzzi among the facilities. If a specific feature matters to you, the simplest approach is to see the facility level in person during a viewing and ask the management office to confirm.
Can tenants use the facilities at Twin Tower?
In most Malaysian strata buildings, registered tenants may use common facilities under the house rules, usually after the owner registers them with management and they receive access cards. Booking-based facilities such as BBQ areas may need advance reservation. Check the current house rules with the management office for exact details.
Are the facilities included in the maintenance fee?
Generally yes. The monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund paid by owners fund cleaning, security and upkeep of shared facilities. Some buildings charge separately for bookings such as BBQ pits or function rooms, or require a refundable deposit. Ask management for the latest fee schedule and any booking charges.
Is Twin Tower Residence suitable for families with children?
Many families find it practical: the 2+1 and 3 Bedroom layouts provide 1,054 to 1,216 sq ft, there is a children's playground and pool within a guarded compound, and malls, hospitals and JB Sentral are close. For school options and daily routines, plan your own route and timings before committing.
Can I see the facilities before renting or buying?
Yes. Because Twin Tower Residence was completed in 2023, the facilities are already in use. When you arrange a unit viewing, ask to walk through the facility level as well, and consider visiting in the evening, when the pool and gym are busiest, to get a realistic feel.
