Unit Types & Floor Plans
| Layout | Rooms | Built-up | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type A | 1+1 Bedrooms · 1 Bathroom | 579 sq ft | |
| Type B | 2 Bedrooms · 2 Bathrooms | 649 sq ft | |
| Type C | 2 Bedrooms · 2 Bathrooms | 792 sq ft | |
| Type D | 3 Bedrooms · 2 Bathrooms | 903 sq ft |
There are 4 plans to choose from here, running 579 sq ft to 903 sq ft. Bedroom counts run 1+1 Bedrooms to 3 Bedrooms, so the building mixes household sizes. The steps between the plans are rooms, not just floor area: Type B turns the 1+1 study into a full second bedroom, Type C and Type D are dual key with a separately accessed studio section, and Type D adds a third bedroom over Type C. The plan you are shown may be a typical floor; ask which levels it actually applies to.

Developer: TH Tebrau Land
TH Tebrau Land is a subsidiary of the Teguh Harian Group. Its parent, Teguh Harian Sdn Bhd, was incorporated in 1995 and is one of the more established property developers in Kedah and Perlis, and in Johor Bahru the group has already completed and handed over One49 Residence. Monterra is its flagship mixed-use project in the Tebrau corridor, planned as a lively, self-sufficient community for people living in JB.
Three Blocks on an 8-Acre Tebrau Site
Developed by TH Tebrau Land as a serviced residence, Monterra occupies 8 acres in Tebrau, Johor Bahru, with three residential blocks that rise to Level 60. Because the land is bigger, the development can feel like a real township instead of one crowded tower: blocks are spaced further apart, the facilities deck is larger, and overall density is lower than in the tighter city-centre projects nearer CIQ.
Dual Key Layouts for Flexible Living
Four layouts run from a 579 sq.ft one-plus-one up to a 903 sq.ft three-bedroom, with two of them — the 792 sq.ft Type C and the 903 sq.ft Type D — configured as dual key. A dual key unit holds a single title but two self-contained, separately accessed sections, letting an owner live in one and rent or house family in the other. It is a format that suits Tebrau’s mix of local upgraders and cross-border tenants.
The Tebrau Corridor
Tebrau is one of Johor Bahru’s established growth corridors, anchored by AEON Tebrau City, Mid Valley Southkey, IKEA Tebrau and a dense cluster of schools and medical facilities. The Tebrau Highway and Senai–Desaru Expressway connect to the city centre, the CIQ complex and Senai Airport. Monterra is leasehold with completion targeted for the fourth quarter of 2029.
What the RTS Link and the JS-SEZ Change for Tebrau
Two things are reshaping demand across Johor Bahru at the same time, and neither of them is on Tebrau’s doorstep. Understanding what they actually do is more useful than being told the address is “strategic”.
The RTS Link, from January 2027. It is a 4 km cross-border rail line between Bukit Chagar in Johor Bahru city centre and Woodlands North on the Singapore MRT. The ride is five minutes. The part that matters more than the distance is that immigration for both countries is cleared at the departure station, so a passenger clears once and steps off on the other side already admitted — instead of queueing at two separate complexes and sitting in causeway traffic. Capacity is 10,000 passengers per hour per direction, with about 40,000 riders a day expected at opening and roughly 140,000 planned for over the longer term.
Who actually uses it. Not tourists, mostly. The core users are the Malaysians who already cross every working day — today that means leaving home before dawn and losing one to two hours each way to the causeway. The RTS converts that into a scheduled five-minute ride. That is the single biggest change to Johor Bahru’s daily economics in decades, and it is why a Bukit Chagar address now prices differently from one that is ten minutes further out.
Tebrau is not that address, and it should not be sold as one. Bukit Chagar is roughly five kilometres from here — a drive, not a walk. What Tebrau gets is the second-order effect: as the immediate RTS catchment tightens and prices there, the households that are priced out do not leave Johor Bahru. They look for somewhere that already has the schools, the hospitals and the malls, and is still on the highway network. Tebrau, with AEON Tebrau City, Mid Valley Southkey, IKEA and an established school cluster, is one of the obvious places that demand lands.
The other engine is the JS-SEZ, and it points away from the city centre. The Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone was signed in January 2025. Johor now holds more than 50 data centres — the largest such cluster in Malaysia — and in the first nine months of 2025 it drew RM91.1 billion of approved capital, more than any other Malaysian state, with the JS-SEZ accounting for around RM68 billion of it. At Sedenak Tech Park West, Microsoft has acquired land and Bridge Data Centres has contracted for 400MW of power. Qualifying foreign companies inside the zone are taxed at 5% corporate rate.
What that means for tenants here. Those facilities are not in Johor Bahru city centre — they sit out toward Sedenak and Kulai. The people they bring are engineers, operations and facilities staff, construction and fit-out contractors, and the seconded staff of foreign firms taking up the zone’s tax position. Those households need to live somewhere with amenities and highway access rather than somewhere within walking distance of a border crossing. Tebrau connects to that corridor through the Senai–Desaru Expressway and Tebrau Highway, which is a more honest description of Monterra’s position than proximity to a station it is nowhere near.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much is Monterra Residence in Tebrau, JB?
Monterra starts from RM420,000 gross and goes up to RM676,000, according to the developer’s project summary. Where a unit falls in that range depends on the layout and the floor. PM us for the price list of the units still available.
Where is Monterra located?
Monterra is located in the Tebrau township of Johor Bahru, about 2.5 km from Mid Valley Southkey and about 5 km from the CIQ, with highway connectivity via the Eastern Dispersal Link and North-South Expressway.
Who is the developer of Monterra?
Monterra is developed by TH Tebrau Land, a subsidiary of the Teguh Harian Group, which completed One49 Residence in Johor Bahru before Monterra.
What is the tenure of Monterra?
Monterra is a leasehold development.
How many towers does Monterra have?
Monterra comprises 3 residential blocks with homes up to Level 60 on an 8-acre mixed-use site in Tebrau, Johor Bahru.
Is Monterra well-connected to Singapore?
Reasonably. Monterra in Tebrau JB is about 5 km from the CIQ and the RTS Link station, with the Eastern Dispersal Link (EDL) running to the causeway, so it works for cross-border residents who drive. Daily commuters who want to walk to the RTS will find the CIQ-side projects closer.
Getting In Touch
Floor plans, unit availability and the latest package details for Monterra are available on request. Message us on WhatsApp and we will send the current floor plan set across all three blocks, confirm which layouts and dual key options remain open, and walk through the booking process step by step. Because Monterra spreads across a larger 8-acre site than most JB serviced residences, block and floor selection makes a real difference to view and orientation — we can advise on which stacks suit your priorities.

Is Monterra Right For You?
Why Buy at Monterra
Eight acres, three blocks. The bigger land parcel is what separates this from the single-block projects closer to CIQ — real spacing between blocks, a larger facilities deck, and room for the commercial components to sit on-site rather than squeezed into a podium.
Dual key on half the layouts. The 792 sq ft Type C and 903 sq ft Type D are dual key: one title, two separately accessed sections. Live in one side and put family in the other, or keep the smaller section closed off until you need it. In this size band that flexibility is uncommon in Tebrau.
A developer with a finished JB project. TH Tebrau Land is part of the Teguh Harian Group, which completed and handed over One49 Residence in Johor Bahru before Monterra. On a project handing over in 2029, who is building it matters more than the showroom — a delivered project is the best evidence that a long build will actually land on time.
Why Monterra May Not Suit You
Completion is Q4 2029. That is roughly three years of construction from today. You are buying from plans and a show unit, and progress payments run through that whole period while you are likely still paying to live somewhere else. Read the Sale and Purchase Agreement properly and check TH Tebrau Land's completed handovers before committing.
Leasehold, not freehold. Johor Bahru has freehold stock available. Leasehold is workable for own-stay, but it does affect financing and the buyer pool further down the line. If permanent title is a requirement for you, look elsewhere first.
Not a causeway-commute address. Tebrau sits in eastern JB. The EDL connects well, but you are still about 5 km from the CIQ before you even join the causeway queue. If crossing to Singapore daily is the main reason you are buying, the CIQ-side projects do that job better.
Our Take
Which unit should you choose at Monterra?
Monterra in Tebrau, Johor Bahru suits most families best as a Type D (903 sq ft), the only three-bedroom layout. For 111 sq ft more than Type C, its main side has two bedrooms instead of one, while Bedroom 1 sits in its own dual-key section.
- Why Type D
- Bedrooms 2 and 3 share Bath 2 on the main side, with the main kitchen, living room and balcony. Bedroom 1's section has its own door off the foyer, with Bath 1 and a sink-and-hob kitchenette: effectively a studio.
- Pick differently if
- Type B (649 sq ft, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, no balcony) for a conventional two-bedroom. Type C (792 sq ft) if one bedroom plus a separate studio is enough.
- Check before you book
- Monterra is leasehold. The developer's project summary gives 99 years, expiring 30 November 2113; get both in writing and match them to the SPA before you book.
