Zac’s Take

Zac Ong

Ion Vivace Residences is a freehold serviced residence in Batu Kawan by Innoceria, part of the NCT group: two 33-storey blocks with 528 homes of about 520 to 1,176 sq ft, due in 2027.

It launched from about RM299,000; the developer's current prices start from about RM308,000 for a one-bedroom and about RM482,000 for a three-bedroom.

It's one of the lowest-priced new homes in Batu Kawan, which suits first-time buyers and landlords renting to people working in the industrial park. With 528 homes in one place, expect competition when you let or resell. Foreign buyers need RM500,000 for mainland condos, so only the larger units qualify.

PSF is derived, not quoted — each row divides that type's price by its own square footage. Developers do not always state whether a published size is built-up or nett, and the two can differ by 20%. Ask for both in writing before you sign.

Verified sub-sale asking prices, last checked 2026-10-10. Developers reprice between phases — confirm the current list before committing.

Foreign buyers must clear RM500,000 per unit (Seberang Perai mainland floor), then pay a state levy and a flat 8% stamp duty on top. See the true cost of buying as a foreigner.

Ion Vivace completion date

Ion Vivace is expected to complete in 2027.

Read that as the developer's target, not a guarantee. What matters contractually is the vacant possession date in your SPA — 36 months from the sale and purchase agreement for a strata title under the Housing Development Act, with liquidated damages payable if the developer misses it. A launch year quoted in marketing and the VP date you can enforce are different things, so check the SPA schedule before you plan a move-in or a tenancy.
