Strong turnout, high booking volume, and another clear signal of the Johor RTS-driven property cycle
Yesterday marked one of the most anticipated days for buyers eyeing Johor Bahru’s growth corridor - the official unit selection day for CTC SkyOne. And if there’s one word to describe the turnout that morning, it’s massive.
Queues Formed as Early as 8AM
Buyers were already lining up early in the morning. Investors, upgraders, and weekend-home seekers all converged with a single goal: to secure a unit close to the upcoming RTS Bukit Chagar station.
This isn’t just hype - it’s the result of a structural shift happening in Johor Bahru City Centre (JBCC).
1,200+ Bookings Received Out of 1,600 Units
Based on the developer’s numbers, over 1,200 bookings have been registered. That means CTC SkyOne has achieved close to 75% take-up.
This sends a strong message to the market: Well-located new launches near the RTS continue to outperform expectations.
Demand is no longer speculative - it’s driven by:
Singapore–Johor cross-border lifestyle changes
Returning confidence in JBCC
Limited future supply in the prime RTS radius
Very realistic price points compared to Singapore
The RTS Link Is Reshaping Buyer Behaviour
CTC SkyOne sits roughly 300 metres from the upcoming RTS Bukit Chagar station, placing it firmly inside the highly coveted “Golden Radius”. Across multiple launches in this zone, we continue to see similar patterns:
Faster registration-to-booking conversions
High percentage of Malaysians working in Singapore
Strong rental yield expectations
Dual-key and triple-key layouts snapped up quickly
The RTS Link is no longer just a future project - construction is progressing rapidly, and buyer behaviour is responding accordingly.
Why CTC SkyOne Is Attracting Strong Interest
Prime JBCC Location
Next to SKS Mall and the five-star Sheraton Hotel, with easy access to the upcoming OBS Mall, RTS station, and major city roads.
Dual-Key & Triple-Key Layouts
Highly sought after for:
Hybrid live–rent lifestyle
Maximising rental income
Families wanting privacy + flexibility
Singaporeans planning weekend or long-term stay options
Modern Facilities & Urban Living Environment
Appealing to young professionals, investors, and those who want a future-ready lifestyle with seamless Singapore connectivity.
Future Supply Is Limited - And That Matters
Many assume JBCC can launch unlimited projects, but land directly surrounding the RTS is extremely limited.
Once the remaining parcels are taken:
future supply becomes tighter;
land prices rise; and
buyers shift to second-tier RTS zones farther away.
CTC SkyOne sits within the best walkability zone, and yesterday’s demand shows buyers understand the long-term scarcity.
Will the Next Launch in This Area Repeat the Trend?
Most likely - unless pricing gaps widen significantly. But with the RTS nearing completion and land tightening within JBCC, future projects in this corridor may compete for the last few premium city-centre parcels. Once those are gone, JBCC will enter a phase where demand growth outpaces available new supply.
Conclusion: Strong Confirmation of JBCC’s Growth Cycle
Yesterday’s turnout and booking numbers reinforce one message: RTS-linked JBCC developments remain among the most sought-after properties in Johor Bahru.
CTC SkyOne’s strong launch performance is:
a statement of confidence;
a signal of rising demand for walk-to-RTS homes; and
a reminder that prime JBCC supply is finite.
