Honest Review

The Verdict: Pros and Trade-offs

✦ Our Verdict

The Celestz suits a buyer who can stretch to the biggest layout, priced lower per square foot than the two smaller types. Skip it if you need two car parks in the entry unit, or a firm handover date to plan around.

Why Buy Here

  • Level 11 holds the Starlight Pool and a pickleball and badminton hall: a coworking space and a reading lounge are up there too.
  • 20 EV charging bays sit in the car park: the tower also has a dedicated parcel room.
  • The Causeway crossing at the CIQ is approximately 4.1km by car: it is one of two land crossings on the Malaysia-Singapore border.

Why NOT Buy

  • 437 of 735 homes, the entry type, get only one car park bay: the two bigger types get two, so two cars mean sizing up.
  • No completion date has been published for The Celestz: there's nothing yet to plan a move, a lease expiry, or a bridge loan around.

Rental yield projection

The Celestz has not been built yet, so this is drawn from nearby comparable rentals, not its own rental history. Those units currently rent for about RM2.90 to RM3.95 per square foot a month. Applied to this project's own price range, RM543,800 to RM889,100 gross, the yield works out to roughly 4-6% a year before costs. Treat it as an estimate off today's asking rents, not a promise.

What the Loan Costs Each Month

Loan only, per month
RM 2,109

Loan amount: RM 489,420. Estimate only, based on the developer's gross list price before any developer discounts, so your actual price may be lower. Your bank's offer decides the real number.

Monthly maintenance fee:about RM 296 / month
Loan + maintenance, per month:~RM 2,405 / month
Min. net income needed (70% DSR)~RM 3,013 / month
One-time, upfront
Est. legal fees (SPA + loan):~RM 13,376
Est. MOT stamp duty (tiered):~RM 10,314

DSR is the share of your pay banks let go to loans. Joint income counts.

Commercial title: banks usually lend a lower margin at commercial rates, so the real monthly figure will likely be higher. Confirm your loan terms before committing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions buyers ask most.

What is the starting price?

RM543,800 buys the approximately 581 sqft entry unit, about RM936 a square foot. The approximately 753 sqft 2-bedroom starts at RM728,900, about RM968 a square foot. The approximately 915 sqft 3-bedroom starts at RM791,100, about RM865 a square foot, the lowest rate of the three. That size's own price range tops out at RM889,100. On a 90% loan at 3.8% over 35 years, the entry price works out to roughly RM2,109 a month, an estimate only.

Is it freehold or leasehold?

The Celestz is leasehold, and its land title is commercial rather than residential. The sale is still made under HDA, the law protecting buyers of a home still being built.

Who is the developer?

EXSIM Group develops The Celestz, a single 44-storey tower on an approximately 1.8-acre site in Kebun Teh. Seven passenger lifts and one service lift serve the building.

When will it be completed?

No completion date has been published for The Celestz yet, and the launch date is also still to be confirmed. There's nothing to count down from at this stage.

How much is the maintenance fee?

RM0.51 per square foot a month, and that figure already includes the sinking fund, the shared savings account a building draws on for repairs later. For the approximately 581 sqft entry unit, that works out to about RM296 a month, billed apart from the loan instalment.

Does a unit come with a car park bay?

Yes, and how many depends on the layout. The approximately 581 sqft entry unit gets one bay, while the approximately 753 sqft and 915 sqft layouts each get two. Parking runs across Levels 1 to 10, and the tower holds 1,085 bays in total.

What sizes and layouts does it have?

Three sizes. The approximately 581 sqft plan is a 1-bedroom with a study, built 437 times. The approximately 753 sqft 2-bedroom has three bathrooms across 93 units. The approximately 915 sqft 3-bedroom fills the other 205 units. It comes in four versions, two with a balcony and two without, depending on the unit number.

Where is it and what is nearby?

The Celestz sits in Kebun Teh, Johor Bahru, next to The Asteriaz, a sister EXSIM project on the same access road. A plot marked for future development sits between the two towers. KSL City Mall, Columbia Asia Hospital Tebrau, Larkin Bus Terminal, Mid Valley Southkey and the CIQ checkpoint are all in the surrounding area.
