Twin Tower Residence JB: The Complete 2026 Guide

Twin Tower Residence JB is a freehold serviced residence in Bukit Chagar, Johor Bahru, standing right beside the Bukit Chagar station of the Johor Bahru–Singapore RTS Link. Completed in 2023, it is one of the very few finished homes in the city centre where you can walk to the RTS, the JB CIQ and JB Sentral without needing a car. This complete 2026 guide covers everything a buyer, investor or tenant needs to know before making a decision.

What is Twin Tower Residence JB?

Twin Tower Residence is a high-rise serviced apartment development on Jalan Tengku Azizah in the Kim Teng Park area of Bukit Chagar, 80300 Johor Bahru. Its official Malay listing name is Pangsapuri Duo, which is why you will sometimes see that name on land documents, bank valuations and older portal listings. People also search for it as “Twin Tower JB”, “SKS Twin Tower” or “TwinTower Johor Bahru” – they all refer to the same project.

The development rises 41 storeys and contains 458 units. It is marketed as two towers, and PropertyGuru describes it as sitting on a 1.48-acre plot. That makes it a compact, city-centre project rather than a sprawling township – a deliberate trade-off that puts residents next to transport instead of next to golf courses.

Project summary

Who developed Twin Tower Residence?

The developer is Parasky Projects Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of SKS Group. SKS is headquartered in Johor Bahru and works across property development, investment holding and hospitality. Its earlier city-centre project, TriTower Residence, was completed in 2018 right beside JB Sentral, so Twin Tower is the group’s second major residential address in the CIQ–JB Sentral corridor. SKS has also partnered with Marriott International on hotels in Johor, including the Sheraton Johor Bahru close to the Causeway. You can read more in our profile of SKS Group, the developer behind Twin Tower and TriTower.

Where exactly is it, and why does the location matter?

Location is the single biggest reason people choose Twin Tower Residence. The project sits beside the Bukit Chagar RTS Link station – the Johor Bahru terminus of the new cross-border rail line to Woodlands North in Singapore. Within walking distance you also have:

• JB CIQ (Bangunan Sultan Iskandar) – the main land checkpoint at the Johor end of the Causeway.
• JB Sentral – the city’s main railway station for KTM and ETS trains, linked to the CIQ by a footbridge.
• Johor Bahru City Square and KOMTAR JBCC – two of the city-centre malls.

A short drive away are R&F Mall, KSL City Mall, Hospital Sultanah Aminah and KPJ Johor Specialist Hospital. For a step-by-step look at getting there by car, train, bus or on foot, see our address and directions guide.

How does the RTS Link change things?

The Johor Bahru–Singapore RTS Link is a 4 km shuttle rail line between Bukit Chagar and Woodlands North, with a journey time of about five minutes. A key design feature is co-located customs: passengers clear both Malaysian and Singapore immigration at the departure station, not on arrival. The line is designed for an estimated 10,000 passengers per hour in each direction.

On 2 October 2026 the operator, RTS Operations, said passenger service is now expected to start in February 2027 (earlier guidance had pointed to end-2026); it reportedly aims to open before Hari Raya 2027. Fares and operating hours had not been officially announced at the time of that report, so treat any fare figure you see online as unconfirmed until the operator publishes it. Our RTS Link guide is updated as new details come out.

For residents, the practical meaning is simple: a Singapore-bound commute could start with a short walk instead of a drive or a bus queue. For owners, that commuter demand is the foundation of the project’s rental appeal.

What unit types are available?

Twin Tower Residence offers four layouts, which covers almost every buyer profile from a single professional to a family of five.

Some portal listings show studios at around 559 sq ft, so always confirm the exact built-up on the title or sale and purchase documents. A detailed walk-through of each plan is in our floor plans guide.

What facilities does Twin Tower Residence have?

According to property portals, residents have access to a swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, gymnasium and cardio room, jogging track, BBQ area, children’s playground and 24-hour security. Some portals also mention an aero-yoga room, clubhouse and adult fitness stations. Our facilities tour explains how each one fits into daily life.

How much does it cost to buy or rent? (Oct–Nov 2026 asking figures)

The figures below are public asking prices and rents seen on Mudah, EdgeProp and PropertyGuru in October–November 2026. They are indicative only – actual transacted prices depend on floor, view, furnishing and timing.

Rooms are also rented individually, typically RM850–1,980 a month, which is why PropertyGuru shows a wide overall rent range of RM900–4,000. Full details are in our price guide and rent guide.

Worked example: indicative gross yield

Gross yield is annual rent divided by purchase price. Using mid-point asking figures:

1. Studio: rent RM2,650 × 12 = RM31,800 a year. Price RM750,000. RM31,800 ÷ RM750,000 = about 4.2%.
2. 2 Bedroom: rent RM3,250 × 12 = RM39,000 a year. Price RM1,075,000. RM39,000 ÷ RM1,075,000 = about 3.6%.
3. 2+1 Bedroom: rent RM4,000 × 12 = RM48,000 a year. Price RM1,020,000. RM48,000 ÷ RM1,020,000 = about 4.7% (based on very few listings, so treat with caution).

Across the project, indicative gross yields sit at roughly 3.5%–4.5%. Net yield will be lower after maintenance fees, sinking fund, quit rent, assessment, insurance and any vacancy, so plug in your own numbers. Our rental yield calculator article walks through the net figures.

How does Twin Tower compare with nearby projects?

The Bukit Chagar–JB Sentral area has several well-known residential addresses. Each has its own strengths; the table below simply places them side by side using publicly reported details.

What sets Twin Tower apart is the combination: it is the closest completed project to the RTS station, it is one of the newest completed buildings in the corridor, and its layouts are sized for the way commuters and small families actually live. If you want to weigh these options in detail, see our comparison section.

What is daily life like at Twin Tower?

A typical weekday for a resident might look like this: a morning swim or gym session, a short walk to the station or checkpoint, and an evening errand at City Square or KOMTAR JBCC on the way home. Weekends are easy too – JB Sentral puts KTM and ETS trains within reach, and the older streets of the city centre, with their cafes and hawker food, are close by. Because so much is walkable, many residents find they use the car far less than they did in a suburban home, which also cuts petrol, parking and toll spending.

Who is Twin Tower Residence best for?

If you are a Singapore commuter

Living next to the RTS terminus is the clearest possible fit. A studio or 2 Bedroom keeps housing costs in ringgit while you earn in Singapore dollars, and you avoid daily driving across the Causeway.

If you are a first-time investor

A completed, freehold unit lets you see the actual view, finishes and rental demand before you commit. Studios are the lowest entry ticket; 2 Bedrooms have the deepest tenant pool.

If you are a family or retiree

The 2+1 and 3 Bedroom layouts give real space in the city centre, with malls, hospitals and the railway close by – useful if you no longer want to drive everywhere.

If you are a foreign buyer

Johor applies a minimum purchase price and state consent requirements for foreigners, and these rules change from time to time. Check the latest position in our guide on whether foreigners can buy at Twin Tower before you budget.

What should you check before buying?

• Exact built-up area, unit facing and floor level on the title or SPA.
• Current maintenance fee and sinking fund per square foot, and any outstanding charges on a subsale unit.
• Whether the unit is tenanted, and the remaining tenancy period.
• Furnishing condition and what is included in the price.
• Loan eligibility and your total cash outlay, including stamp duty and legal fees.

Conclusion: is Twin Tower Residence worth a closer look?

Few completed projects in Johor Bahru can match Twin Tower Residence’s combination of freehold tenure, a 2023 completion date, right-sized layouts and a position beside the Bukit Chagar RTS station. Whether you want a commuter base, a rental asset or a city-centre family home, it deserves a place on your shortlist.
