Location and the walk to Bukit Chagar
Aethera Residences is in JB city centre near Jalan Tun Abdul Razak, about 400 m from Bukit Chagar RTS. UOA describes the route as a dedicated pedestrian link. Only CTC SkyOne, at about 300 m, is closer among the projects we track.
The 400 m figure comes from the developer and its sponsored coverage. We have not timed the walk, and the station exits are not open yet, so check how the link meets the station before you count on a covered walk in the rain. The RTS opens in February 2027 and the ride to Woodlands North takes about five minutes.
Units and prices
Aethera is a single 52-storey tower of 786 serviced apartments on a 1.2-acre freehold site. Sizes run from about 650 sq ft to 2,594 sq ft.
| Layout | Size | Asking prices seen |
|---|---|---|
| 1+1 bedroom | 650 sq ft | RM672,000 to RM980,000 |
| 2 bedroom | 693 sq ft | RM750,000 to RM770,000 |
| 3 bedroom (incl. dual key) | 904 sq ft | RM970,000 to RM1,025,000 |
| Large units and duplexes | About 2,358 sq ft | RM2,712,000 |
Asking prices come from listings we checked on PropertyGuru on 12 October 2026, most of them priced at RM1,030 to RM1,150 psf. EdgeProp shows a starting price of RM996,200, so figures vary by source and release. Ask UOA for the dated price list.
Can Singaporeans buy here?
Yes, if the unit is priced at RM1 million or more. At today’s asking prices, that rules out the 1+1 and 2-bedroom units and puts the line around the 904 sq ft 3-bedroom. If you are shown a unit just above RM1m, ask your lawyer whether the RM1m test applies before or after any rebate.
If a cheaper unit is offered to you with special developer approval, get it in writing and plan for the resale rule: sub-RM1m units bought this way can generally be resold only to Malaysians while their value stays under RM1m. Budget for 8% stamp duty and the 3% Johor levy (minimum RM30,000); our cost calculator adds it up.
Rental evidence
There is none yet, because the building is under construction until about 2030. Completed projects a little further from the station give a guide: at Twin Tower Residence, 882 sq ft 2-bedders are listed at RM3,000 to RM3,500 a month, and at TriTower 942 sq ft 2-bedders are listed at about RM3,100.
Who it suits
Aethera suits a buyer who wants a short walk to the RTS and the comfort of a listed developer, and who can wait until 2030. For Singaporeans the realistic entry point is a 3-bedroom at about RM1m or a larger unit.
It suits less well if you want income soon. By the time Aethera is done, the RTS will have been running for about three years and nearby supply will include CTC SkyOne’s 1,605 units.
What to check before you book
- The exact route of the pedestrian link and whether it is covered all the way to the station.
- That your unit is priced at RM1m or more, or has written approval for foreign purchase.
- The vacant possession date in the sale and purchase agreement.
- Maintenance fees and any short-stay letting rules.
- How many units on your floor and facing your side, since a single tower of 786 units means plenty of similar stock at resale.
