Zac’s Take

Zac Ong

Maldives Residences is Ideal Property Group's freehold condominium on Jalan Sungai Tiram in Bayan Lepas: four towers of 34 and 46 storeys with 1,665 homes, due around 2027.

Homes are three-bedroom units of about 850 sq ft, plus 930 sq ft dual-key layouts. The project mixes affordable units sold to eligible buyers with upgraded open-market units; the developer quotes an indicative price from RM498,000.

It's aimed at people who work in the Bayan Lepas free industrial zone, a short drive away, and at landlords renting to them. With 1,665 homes in one place and plenty of similar supply nearby, expect competition when you let or sell, so plan on today's rents rather than rises. It's below the RM1M foreign-buyer minimum.

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 2026-10-13. Developers reprice between phases — confirm the current list before committing.

No published unit type clears the RM1M foreign-buyer minimum, but one type is priced on application — those may qualify. Ask before ruling the project out.

2BR / Studio is priced on application

Usually the penthouses and duplexes — developers hold those back rather than publish them. I can get you the current figure and the floor plan directly.

Maldives Residences completion date

Maldives Residences is expected to complete in 2027. It is under construction now.

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.
