Project Marketing Information

What is Causewayz Square?

+

Causewayz Square @ JBCC is a freehold integrated residential and retail development by EXSIM Group at Jalan Lumba Kuda, Johor Bahru, positioned next to the JB CIQ and the upcoming Bukit Chagar RTS link to Singapore. It combines residential towers, a retail podium and a planned covered link bridge to the CIQ.

Who is the developer of Causewayz Square?

+

The project is developed by EXSIM Lumba Kuda Sdn Bhd, part of the EXSIM Group, a Malaysian developer established in 2002. EXSIM is known for sustainable, GreenRE-certified residential developments.

Where is Causewayz Square located?

+

It sits on Jalan Lumba Kuda, Tanjung Puteri, 80300 Johor Bahru, Johor — inside the JBCC (Johor Bahru City Centre) zone, a short distance from the Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) complex.

Is Causewayz Square freehold?

+

Yes. The land is held on a freehold title. Marketing materials indicate a commercial title under the Housing Development Act (HDA); buyers should confirm the exact title particulars in the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

How far is Causewayz Square from JB CIQ?

+

The developer states a 650-metre covered link bridge connecting the development to the JB CIQ complex. The stated distance is from project marketing information; the actual completed walkway should be measured on site once built.

How far is Causewayz Square from the RTS Link?

+

The development is positioned adjacent to the Bukit Chagar RTS station, which is under construction at the time of writing. Exact walking distance will be confirmable once the RTS station and linkages are completed.

Is there a covered link bridge to the CIQ?

+

A covered link bridge to the CIQ is part of the developer’s planned connectivity. As with all planned infrastructure, buyers should verify the bridge specification, timing and route in the official project documents.

What is Axis Tower?

+

Axis Tower is one of the residential towers at Causewayz Square, offering Studio and Dual-Key layouts. It is the tower typically marketed at commuters and short-stay rental investors because of its compact unit mix.

How many units are in Axis Tower?

+

The exact unit count for Axis Tower is stated in the APDL permit. Some marketing materials reference 62 storeys and others 63 storeys for Axis; buyers should refer to the APDL for the authoritative figure.

What is the 366 sq ft layout?

+

The 366 sq ft unit (Type A) is a Studio layout in Axis Tower, the smallest built-up in the development. It is designed for efficient single-person living or short-stay rental close to the CIQ.

What is the 592 sq ft layout?

+

The 592 sq ft unit (Type B) is a Dual-Key 2-bedroom layout in Axis Tower. It pairs a main 2-bedroom home with a separable studio sub-unit behind one main door, allowing owners to live in one side and rent the other.

What is dual-key?

+

A dual-key unit combines a main residence and a lockable sub-unit (usually a studio) that share a single main entrance but can be occupied independently. It suits owners who want to live in one part and rent the other, or house extended family with privacy.

What is the difference between Axis and Brixton?

+

Axis Tower is oriented around Studio and Dual-Key layouts (366 and 592 sq ft), while Brixton offers 1- to 3-bedroom and dual-key layouts (474–850 sq ft). The unit mix and likely buyer profile differ as a result.

What is the difference between Brixton and Dover?

+

Brixton and Dover are both 60-storey towers offering the 1- to 3-bedroom and dual-key range. Differences are typically in orientation, stack layout and view; buyers should compare the specific floor plans and facing for each tower.

What are the current prices?

+

Indicative starting prices range from about RM 539,000 for the 366 sq ft Studio to about RM 1,110,000 for the 850 sq ft 3-Bedroom Dual-Key. Prices are subject to change and final confirmation by the developer; see the price page for the checked date.

How often are prices updated?

+

Pricing on this site is reviewed against the latest available developer price list and re-checked on the date shown on the price page. Prices and packages can change without notice, so always confirm current pricing before deciding.

What is the maintenance fee?

+

The developer marketing indicates a maintenance fee of about RM 0.36 per sq ft per month, inclusive of the sinking fund. This is indicative and should be confirmed in the deed of mutual covenants and the latest management circular.

Is sinking fund included in the maintenance fee?

+

According to project marketing information, the sinking fund is included within the stated RM 0.36 psf/month figure. Buyers should verify the split between maintenance and sinking fund in the official documents.

How many car parks come with each unit?

+

Project marketing indicates a minimum of one car park per unit. Some larger unit types may be allocated more; confirm the parking allocation for the specific unit and stack in the booking form.

When is Causewayz Square expected to complete?

+

The indicative completion is Q4 2029, based on project marketing information. Construction timelines can shift; track the construction progress page for dated site observations.

Can foreigners buy Causewayz Square?

+

Foreign buyers are generally able to purchase stratified commercial-titled properties in Johor above the state’s minimum foreign-purchase threshold, subject to state authority consent. Eligibility depends on the specific title and current state rules; see the foreign buyers page and seek professional advice.

What is the minimum foreign purchase price in Johor?

+

Johor sets a minimum purchase price for foreign buyers on landed residential property; for stratified commercial-titled high-rises the rules differ. Buyers should confirm the current threshold and whether it applies to this property with a lawyer or the relevant authority.

What legal fees should buyers consider?

+

Beyond the purchase price, buyers typically budget for legal fees, stamp duty (on the SPA and on the loan), valuation fees, and miscellaneous disbursements. Confirm actual figures with your lawyer and bank before committing.

Can Singaporeans obtain financing for a JB property?

+

Some Malaysian banks and selected Singapore-based lenders finance cross-border purchases, usually with a lower loan-to-value cap and additional documentation. Loan approval is at the bank’s discretion and depends on income, credit and the property; confirm terms directly with lenders.

What facilities are available?

+

Planned facilities include a sky pool, gymnasium, residents’ lounge and other lifestyle amenities within the development. The full facilities list and their completion status should be verified against the latest developer brochure and APDL.

Is there retail within the development?

+

Yes. Causewayz Square is an integrated development with a retail podium, intended to provide daily conveniences on-site. Tenancy mix and opening status will be confirmed closer to completion.

Where is the showroom / sales gallery?

+

Show units and layouts are available for viewing by appointment. Visits are strictly by appointment; arrange a viewing through the contact page or WhatsApp.

How do I arrange a viewing?

+

Viewings are by appointment only. Use the register form on the homepage or the contact page, or message the marketing partner directly on WhatsApp to request a time slot.

Is Causewayz Square suitable for own stay?

+

It can suit owner-occupiers who value CIQ proximity and an integrated retail environment, particularly commuters to Singapore. Suitability depends on unit size, household needs and tolerance for a compact built-up; see the own-stay page.

What should Singapore commuters know?

+

The key draw is walking access to the CIQ without relying on a car, and proximity to the RTS link. Commuters should weigh walkway coverage, weather, unit size, and the practicality of the daily crossing against their own routine.

What is the actual walking route to JB CIQ?

+

A planned covered link bridge connects the development to the CIQ. The actual walking route, distance and coverage will be documented on the walking-route page after physical site visits, with a “last physically checked” date.

Is the walkway to the CIQ covered?

+

The developer plans a covered link bridge. Whether the entire route to the CIQ immigration hall is sheltered end-to-end should be confirmed on site once construction is complete.

What happens if it rains on the walk to the CIQ?

+

A covered bridge is intended to keep the route sheltered. Until the built walkway can be inspected, treat coverage as planned rather than confirmed; the walking-route page will record what was observed on site.

What is the land size of the development?

+

Project marketing references a land area of about 7.75 acres. This figure is indicative; confirm against the latest project particulars or APDL.

How many towers are there?

+

The development comprises three residential towers — Axis, Brixton and Dover — alongside a retail podium. (Some older marketing materials referenced a fourth name; this guide follows the current three-tower description.)

What are the unit sizes?

+

Built-up areas range from 366 sq ft (Studio) to 850 sq ft (3-Bedroom / 3-Bedroom Dual-Key). Intermediate sizes include 474 sq ft (1-Bed), 592 sq ft (Dual-Key) and 667 sq ft (2-Bed).

Which tower has dual-key layouts?

+

Dual-Key layouts are available in Axis Tower (the 592 sq ft Type B) and in Brixton / Dover (the 850 sq ft Type F1/F2). Compare the dual-key page for the differences.

What is the expected completion?

+

Indicative completion is Q4 2029 per project marketing. Timelines can move; the construction progress page tracks dated observations.

Where can I see the APDL?

+

The APDL (Advertising Permit and Developer Licence) details for each tower, including permit numbers and validity, are listed on the APDL document-centre page. Always verify the latest permit before signing.

Where can I download the brochure?

+

The e-Brochure PDF is available from the footer “Download e-Brochure” button and the APDL document centre. It opens WhatsApp and downloads the PDF simultaneously.

How do I check current availability?

What information changes most frequently?

+

Pricing, packages/rebates, unit availability, completion timing and the construction stage change most often. These are re-checked and dated on the relevant pages.
