Aethera Residences | Johor Bahru

In Johor Bahru, the 52-level Aethera Residences tower by UOA Group holds 786 freehold serviced apartments.

Aethera Residences | Johor Bahru

Jalan Tun Abdul Razak 1/1, Johor Bahru, Johor

Aethera Residences drop-off and entrance canopy, artist's impression
Aethera Residences is UOA Group’s single tower on a 1.215-acre freehold lot inside the Ibrahim International Business District, with a commercial title and built under the Housing Development Act. It rises 52 floors with 786 units, about 21 to a typical floor; eight passenger lifts are zoned four for lower floors and four for upper floors, alongside a fire/service lift and a basement lift. The layout list is wide. At the small end are three 650 sq ft plans (A, A1 with 1+1 bedrooms, A2) and a 693 sq ft two-bedroom; the middle covers three-bedroom homes of 904, 1,033 and 1,315 sq ft, the 1,033 sq ft Types D and D1 being dual-key; at the top, Types F and G are four-bedroom homes over two levels, at 2,358 sq ft and 2,547 sq ft respectively. Singles, couples, young families and multi-generation households all have a size here; studio or landed-home seekers do not. Foreign buyers: Johor requires RM1,000,000 or more and approval by the State Authority, and almost every Aethera unit is priced above that line. For the handful listed below it, the only foreign route is purchase from UOA as a commercial-title serviced apartment, where the levy begins at RM50,000; it does not apply on resale.

What Stands Out at Aethera Residences

A zoned-lift tower near a future RTS Link stop, sold partly furnished, with plans from 650 sq ft up to two-level four-bedroom homes.

Covered Walk to Bukit Chagar

A covered walkway is planned from the tower to Bukit Chagar, the coming RTS Link stop for the crossing to Singapore, roughly 370 m off in a straight line. That link matters most to someone who commutes across the border.

Lifts Split by Zone

Eight passenger lifts are zoned, four serving lower floors and four serving upper floors, with a separate fire/service lift. With about 21 units on a typical floor, zoning keeps each lift's run shorter on a 52-storey building.

Partly Furnished on Handover

Handover includes kitchen cabinets fitted with a hob and hood, all the air-conditioning units, a water heater and a smart lock on the main door. A buyer still needs loose furniture and appliances, but not the basic fit-out.

Two-Level Homes to 2,547 sq ft

Type F (2,358 sq ft) and Type G (2,547 sq ft) are spread over two floors, each with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, and Type F has a second living room upstairs. They suit a large household that wants apartment living in the city centre.

Pools on Level 52

Level 52 is the pool floor: an infinity pool, a heated pool, a shallow wading cove and a barbecue deck. Level 12 adds a racket court, a play garden and a laundry room, while Level 13 holds a multipurpose hall and shared work desks.

Security and Parking

Access is layered: a barrier gate, then card-controlled lobbies and lifts. Each unit gets one floating car park, so bays are not fixed to a unit. The maintenance fee is RM0.45 psf, sinking fund included.

Frequently asked questions

Information last updated: 22 October 2026

Where is Aethera Residences?

In the Ibrahim International Business District, Johor Bahru, at Jalan Tun Abdul Razak 1/1. Straight-line distances: roughly 370 m to Bukit Chagar, a station of the coming RTS Link, and about 790 m to Johor Bahru Sentral.

Is Aethera Residences freehold?

Yes, freehold. Its commercial title and Housing Development Act status mean the units are sold as serviced apartments.

What is the price range at Aethera Residences?

RM996,200 to RM4,288,000, at approximately RM1,533 psf.

Which unit types does Aethera offer?

Ten types. At 650 sq ft: Types A and A2 (two bedrooms, one bathroom) and A1 (1+1 bedrooms). Type B: 693 sq ft, two bedrooms, two bathrooms. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms: Type C at 904 sq ft, the dual-key Types D and D1 at 1,033 sq ft, and Type E at 1,315 sq ft. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms over two levels: Type F at 2,358 sq ft and Type G at 2,547 sq ft.

When will Aethera Residences be completed?

It is under construction, with completion expected in 2029.

Which company is developing Aethera Residences?

UOA Group.

How many units and lifts does Aethera have?

786 units over 52 floors, about 21 per typical floor. Passenger lifts are zoned: four for the low zone and four for the high zone, plus one Bomba/service lift and one basement lift.

What is the maintenance fee at Aethera Residences?

RM0.45 psf, including the sinking fund.

Is parking included at Aethera?

Each unit comes with one floating car park, meaning the bay is not assigned to a specific unit.

Can foreigners buy at Aethera Residences?

Yes. Johor lets a foreigner buy property at RM1,000,000 or above once the State Authority approves, and almost all Aethera units are priced over that figure. Anything listed under RM1,000,000 is available to a foreign purchaser solely when bought from UOA as a commercial-title serviced apartment, again with approval, and that levy is RM50,000 at minimum; the same unit bought on resale would not be open to a foreigner.

What does a foreign buyer pay the state at Aethera Residences?

The application fee is RM2,000 for every title. On top, Johor levies 3% of the price, with RM30,000 as the lowest charge; a purchase from UOA is assessed on the stamped SPA price, and a subsale of a unit at RM1,000,000 or more on the higher figure of the JPPH valuation and the SPA price. Malaysian permanent residents pay as foreigners do. Units under RM1,000,000 bought from UOA as serviced apartments carry a levy floor of RM50,000.
