Arden Serviced Residence is a single tower at One Bukit Senyum, beside Jalan Lingkaran Dalam in central Johor Bahru, developed by Astaka Kimlun Sdn Bhd and designed by GDP Architects. It rises 68 floors on a 1.73-acre plot yet holds only 618 homes: 8 to 12 per floor, served by nine lifts including one service lift. Tenure is freehold and the units are serviced apartments under the Housing Development Act. There are just three layouts. Type A has two bedrooms in 797 sq ft and one car park; Type B has three bedrooms in 1,130 sq ft and Type C four bedrooms in 1,700 sq ft, both with two bays. With no studio or one-bedroom unit, Arden fits families and buyers who want space over a compact first purchase, and with handover targeted for the first half of 2029 it does not suit anyone who needs a home sooner. On foreign ownership, every listed price, from RM1,078,000 to RM2,476,500, is above the RM1,000,000 minimum that Johor sets, so a foreigner may buy any unit here once the purchase receives approval by the State Authority.

What Stands Out at Arden Serviced Residence

Few homes for a tall tower, large layouts only and facilities spread over four levels, from Level 8 up to Level 68.

Nine Lifts, 8 to 12 Units a Floor

With 8 to 12 homes per floor and eight passenger lifts plus a service lift, there is roughly one lift for every one to one and a half units. Waiting at the lift lobby should be brief, even at peak hours.

Three Layouts, None Small

Type A: 797 sq ft, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Type B: 1,130 sq ft, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Type C: 1,700 sq ft, four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The smallest home is still a full two-bedder.

Facilities on Levels 8, 9, 50, 68

Level 8 has the main pool, kids' pool, gym, kids' fun gym, banquet hall and surau; Level 9 a book club, business centre, co-working space and golf simulator; Level 50 a sky lounge with a cinema and KTV; Level 68 an infinity pool and jacuzzi.

About 840 m to Bukit Chagar

Bukit Chagar, earmarked for the RTS Link terminus, sits about 840 m from the tower measured in a straight line, and the KTM and ETS station at Johor Bahru Sentral is about 1.2 km away. The Woodlands Train Checkpoint, over the Causeway in Singapore, is about 3.3 km off.

GBI Green Building Design

The tower is designed to GBI Green Building standards, with EV charging bays, an automated waste collection system and rainwater harvesting. Concierge service is listed, with property management by Knight Frank.

RM0.66 psf, One or Two Bays

The maintenance fee is RM0.66 psf. Type A is sold with one car park bay and Types B and C with two, which matters for a household that runs two cars.
