Zac’s Take

Zac Ong

La Casa Ara is SPB Property's gated, guarded estate of courtyard townhouses in Tasek Gelugor, built under the state's Rumah MutiaraKu affordable home-ownership scheme.

Each townhouse has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two car parks, with built-up areas of about 1,285 to 1,482 sq ft, from about RM339,000. Sources give completion as 2028 or 2029, so confirm the schedule with the developer.

The courtyard 'villament' layout gives you a landed-style home with your own front door at an apartment price, which is the draw. Because it's an affordable-housing scheme, check the eligibility rules and any resale restrictions before you book.

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.

Developer price — the project has not completed, so there is no resale market to compare against, last checked 2026-10-05. Developers reprice between phases — confirm the current list before committing.

Every unit type here sits below the RM1M foreign-buyer minimum, so this project is open to Malaysian and PR buyers only.

La Casa Ara completion date

La Casa Ara is expected to complete in 2028.

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.
