Celestz is a leasehold development from EXSIM Kebun Teh Sdn Bhd on 1.8 acres, held under a commercial title governed by the Housing Development Act. Counting the lower ground and ground levels, it stands 44 storeys and contains 735 units, an average of 25 on each floor. Seven passenger lifts and one service lift serve those floors, close to three and a half homes per passenger lift. The smallest unit, Type A, is 581 sq ft with 1+1 bedrooms and one bathroom and one parking bay, sized for one person or a couple. Type B, 753 sq ft, pairs two bedrooms with three bathrooms, so each bedroom has its own and a third serves guests, which works for two working adults sharing or a couple with a live-in parent. Type C, 915 sq ft, has three bedrooms and two bathrooms in four variants. Types B and C each come with two bays. For a foreign buyer, Johor’s threshold is RM1,000,000; Celestz is priced entirely below it, so a foreigner can only purchase here from the developer, as a commercial-title serviced apartment with State Authority approval, paying a levy that starts at RM50,000. The same route is not open on resale.

What Stands Out at Celestz

A three-bathroom two-bedroom type, four versions of the three-bedroom unit and a podium deck on Level 11.

Two Bedrooms, Three Bathrooms

Type B fits three bathrooms into 753 sq ft alongside two bedrooms. Each bedroom has a bathroom of its own and the third is near the living area, which suits sharers who want privacy or a family hosting an elderly parent.

Four Takes on Type C

The 915 sq ft three-bedroom comes as C1, C1-A, C2 and C2-A. C1 and C1-A have a balcony, C2 and C2-A do not, and the -A versions have two air-conditioner ledges instead of one. Floor area stays the same.

Level 11 Starlight Deck

The Level 11 podium holds the Starlight Pool, a kids' pool and playground, a jacuzzi, a sun deck, an outdoor gym, a reflexology path, a half basketball court, a coworking space and a hall marked for pickleball and badminton.

Gym on 12, BBQ on 42

Fitness is split over two levels: the outdoor gym on the podium and an indoor gymnasium on Level 12. Near the top, Level 42 has the Starlight BBQ and the Starlight Pavilion for gatherings.

Parcel Room and 20 EV Bays

A dedicated parcel room handles deliveries, 20 car bays have EV chargers, and five retail units sit on the ground floor. A shuttle bus runs to the CIQ and RTS connection points, useful for residents who cross the Causeway daily.

Expected in Q1 2031

The APDL was issued on 12 October 2026 and building runs 52 months from that date, pointing to completion in Q1 2031. Maintenance is RM0.51 per sq ft including the sinking fund; prices start from RM935.97 psf (gross).

Frequently asked questions

Information last updated: 22 October 2026

Where is Celestz located?

On Jalan Kebun Teh, Johor Bahru, Johor, next to The Asteriaz. In a straight line, Parkson is about 350 m away and the future Bukit Chagar RTS Link station around 2.5 km.

What tenure and title does Celestz have?

Leasehold, on a 1.8-acre commercial title governed by the Housing Development Act; the units are serviced apartments.

What is the price range at Celestz?

From RM543,800 to RM889,100, starting at RM935.97 psf gross.

Which unit types are available at Celestz?

Type A: 581 sq ft, 1+1 bedrooms, 1 bathroom. Type B: 753 sq ft, 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. Type C: 915 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, in four variants (C1, C1-A, C2, C2-A).

When is Celestz expected to be completed?

In Q1 2031. The 52-month construction period counts from the APDL issued on 12 October 2026.

Who is the developer of Celestz?

EXSIM Kebun Teh Sdn Bhd, the same company behind The Asteriaz on this road.

How dense is Celestz?

735 units over 44 storeys (LG + G + 42), averaging 25 units per floor, with 7 passenger lifts and 1 service lift.

How much is the maintenance fee at Celestz?

RM0.51 per sq ft, sinking fund included.

How many parking bays does each Celestz unit get?

Type A gets one bay; Types B and C get two.

Can foreigners buy at Celestz?

Yes, but only from the developer, as a serviced apartment under Johor's allowance for units below RM1,000,000. Johor's usual foreign minimum is RM1,000,000 and Celestz stops at RM889,100, so every unit falls under the allowance, which covers commercial-title serviced apartments and SOHO units, requires approval by the State Authority and carries a levy of at least RM50,000. It does not cover resale purchases.

What does a foreign buyer pay the state at Celestz?

The state charges RM2,000 per title to apply and a levy set at 3% of the price, with RM30,000 as the floor; for a serviced apartment under RM1,000,000 bought from the developer, the case at Celestz, the levy cannot be lower than RM50,000. As an illustration, on RM600,000 the 3% rate gives RM18,000, so the RM50,000 floor applies and the total paid to the state is RM52,000. The base is the stamped SPA price. Malaysian permanent residents are charged as foreigners.
