Zac’s Take
Zac Ong
The Cantonment is a 71-unit freehold block on Jalan Cantonment, Pulau Tikus, completed by Malton in 2015, with four layouts of about 1,000, 1,900, 2,150 and 5,500 sq ft.
My take: the key is price discipline. EdgeProp's four-year sales record shows a median of about RM784 per sq ft (roughly RM554–1,161), while many asking prices sit well above that. Negotiate from the transactions, read the sinking-fund statement (71 owners share every major bill), and pick the layout before the price.

Immediate occupancy
Move in within months, not years. Most resales complete in four to six months, a little longer if you need state consent as a foreign buyer.
Verified surroundings
Pulau Tikus's noise levels, traffic, neighbour mix, and JMC quality are known quantities at The Cantonment.
Established maintenance
The building has a track record. Ask for the management accounts, sinking fund balance and recent meeting minutes before you commit.
5 things to check before signing the The Cantonment SPA
- 1.Sinking fund health — Confirm the current balance and whether any special assessment is pending in the next 12 months. A thin sinking fund on an ageing building means you inherit the bill.
- 2.Last 3 maintenance billings — Verify payment is up to date and no dues are outstanding from the seller — arrears transfer with the unit, not the person.
- 3.JMC minutes (last 12 months) — Look for recurring complaints, structural concerns, or planned major works. This is the single most revealing document most buyers never ask for.
- 4.Common-area condition — Physically walk the pool deck, lifts, lobbies, gym and parking ramps. Photograph anything concerning — it is negotiation leverage.
- 5.Management track record — Ask who manages the building and how long they have held the contract. Frequent turnover of managing agents usually signals a difficult JMB.

Verified sub-sale asking prices. Asking is not transacted — expect movement between the two.
Recent prices. EdgeProp four-year transactions: median about RM784 psf (range about RM554–1,161). July 2026 listing: 2,009 sq ft at about RM2.5M. Asking prices run well above recent sales.
The building is 11 years old. Old enough that the sinking fund and the state of common property matter more than the finishes. Ask for the MC accounts and the last AGM minutes — arrears across the building are the number that predicts your future maintenance bill.
Selling rather than buying? The RPGT rates and the 21B retention decide what you keep — and if you are near the five-to-six-year line, the date matters more than the price.
