Since 2010, Tropicana has cemented its presence in Johor with landmark townships such as the 37-acre Tropicana Danga Bay and the 227-acre Tropicana Danga Cove. Expanding its footprint in the southern region, the developer has now introduced two mega-developments – the 244-acre Tropicana Uplands and the 163-acre Lido Waterfront Boulevard.

Situated within the dynamic Iskandar Malaysia International Zone, the first phase of Tropicana Uplands – Fraser Heights – is set to redefine contemporary living in Gelang Patah, Johor Bahru. Launched in January 2025 with an impressive 60% take-up rate, this development seamlessly integrates connectivity, modern design, and a vibrant community, making it a prime choice for homeowners and investors alike.

Meanwhile, Lido Waterfront Boulevard, a freehold mixed-use development, rises on premium reclaimed land along the waterfront bordering Singapore. Leading the way is Skypark Kepler, its first branded residential offering and the most luxurious high-rise in Johor. Poised to set a new benchmark in urban living, it offers the perfect balance of seamless connectivity and sustainable, smart city living.

A Signature Development in Tropicana Uplands
The 313-acre Tropicana Uplands is one of Tropicana Corporation Berhad’s signature townships in Johor, boasting a sustainable, self-sustaining community with work-live-learn-shop-play components.

Johor’s property market is currently experiencing unprecedented growth, driven by key government initiatives, infrastructure advancements, and foreign investment opportunities.

The highly anticipated Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) is set to transform cross-border travel between Malaysia and Singapore. This international transit link will connect Bukit Chagar station (Malaysia) to Woodlands North station (Singapore), which integrates with Singapore’s Thomson–East Coast MRT Line. Located just 7-10 minutes from Lido Waterfront Boulevard, this seamless connectivity is expected to enhance property value and attract both local and foreign investors.

The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme has seen a resurgence in interest, particularly from investors in China and Taiwan. With revised criteria, the programme now requires property investments ranging from RM600,000 to RM2 million, ensuring long-term residency is tied to genuine investment.

Other key considerations for MM2H applicants include:
• Good Conduct Certificate: A mandatory security measure ensuring high residency standards
• Minimum Stay Requirement: 90 cumulative days annually to foster stronger connections with Malaysia

Johor has become an emerging hotspot for MM2H applicants, alongside Kuala Lumpur and Penang, thanks to its rapid urban expansion, economic opportunities, and enhanced connectivity.

The recent signing of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) is set to revolutionise trade and investment between Malaysia and Singapore. Offering exclusive incentives such as a 5% corporate tax rate for up to 15 years and lower entertainment duties, this initiative is designed to attract global businesses, encourage technology transfer, and boost economic development.

With Lido Waterfront Boulevard and Skypark Kepler at the heart of these transformative developments, investors and homeowners have a rare opportunity to own a piece of Johor’s future, where luxury, sustainability, and connectivity converge.
