Amberwood Resort Residences
Amberwood Resort Residences is a two-tower development in Larkin, Johor Bahru, by Chin Hin Group Property. It carries 824 homes on 3.49 acres, with Tower A holding 490 units and Tower B 334, both rising 26 levels.
The whole recreation programme is consolidated on a single deck at Level 7 — twenty-five items including a lap pool, a leisure pool, a jacuzzi, a sunken campfire BBQ, a pickleball court, a multipurpose hall with its own pre-function space and gourmet kitchen, and a 300 m jogging track. A Creek Forest sits separately at LG1.
Three layouts run 560 to 872 sq ft, each with a flexible plus-one room: 1+1, 2+1 and 3+1 bedrooms. Units come with a smart home system and digital lockset, the kitchen is fitted by Signature, and the development is GreenRE certified. Completion is targeted for Q3 2029, 48 months from the SPA date.
Quick answer: Amberwood Resort Residences is a leasehold high rise condominium development by Chin Hin Group Property in Johor Bahru, Johor. It offers 824 — Tower A 490 · Tower B 334 units, with 1+1 / 2+1 / 3+1 bedroom layouts, from 560 to 872 sq ft, with completion targeted for Q3 2029.
Development at a Glance
Everything below comes from the developer’s own material. These are the figures that are fixed at construction — renovation changes none of them, so they are worth checking before anything else.

What the numbers actually say
824 homes on 3.49 acres is about 236 units per acre. That is typical for a high-rise site of this size.
There are 19 units to a floor. The lower that number, the less corridor you share and the shorter the wait at the lift lobby.
Car parking is 8 levels of car park from LG2 to Level 6, 1 to 3 bays per unit. In a completed development this is one of the few things you cannot renegotiate afterwards, so check it against how many cars you actually run.
Completion is stated as Q3 2029. Ask to see that date on the statutory panel rather than in the brochure headline, and hold the developer to the panel version.
Unit Types
| Type | Size | Bedrooms | Bathrooms | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 560 sq ft | 1+1 | 1 | 156 units, 19% of the development; also issued as Type A1 |
| B | 721 sq ft | 2+1 | 2 | 334 units, 40.5%; also issued as Type B1 |
| C | 872 sq ft | 3+1 | 2 | 334 units, 40.5% |
Three built-ups across 824 homes. The A1 and B1 labels are the mirrored versions of A and B rather than different sizes, so what changes between them is orientation, not area. The plus-one in each count is a flexible room — usable as a study, a nursery or a store, and it is the reason the 560 sq ft entry plan still reads as a one-bedroom-plus rather than a studio.

Location & Connectivity
Amberwood sits on Jalan Suria Muafakat Utama in Larkin, on the inland side of Johor Bahru rather than on the waterfront. That is the trade the site makes: it is 2.6 km from Angsana Mall and 800 m from SMK Bandar Baru Uda, so the everyday grid is already built out, while the border crossings are a drive rather than a walk — CIQ is 9.5 km and the Bukit Chagar RTS terminus 8.5 km, which the developer answers with a shuttle service.
The wider catchment is dense with retail. KSL City Mall, Paradigm Mall and Johor Bahru City Square all sit between 6 and 8 km out, Mid Valley Southkey at 10 km, and the Skudai Highway is 3 km away for anything further north. Larkin Sentral, the state’s main bus and taxi terminal, is 3.9 km.

Is Amberwood Resort Residences Right For You?
Why Buy at Amberwood Resort Residences
Twenty-five facilities on one deck, plus a pickleball court. Level 7 carries a lap pool and a separate leisure pool, a jacuzzi, kid’s pool, sunken campfire BBQ, herbs garden, outdoor fitness, a multipurpose court, a games room and a multipurpose hall with its own pre-function space and gourmet kitchen — and a 300 m jogging track around it. Consolidating them on one level means you are not queueing for a lift to reach half of them.
Every layout has a flexible plus-one room. 1+1 at 560 sq ft, 2+1 at 721 and 3+1 at 872. That extra room is what separates these from the compact JB stock at the same built-up — it takes a desk, a cot or a store without eating a bedroom.
Fitted rather than bare. Smart home system, digital lockset and a kitchen fitted by Signature come with the unit, and the car park has direct access to the unit level. GreenRE certification and a shuttle service to the RTS round it out. These are handover-day costs you would otherwise budget for.
The everyday grid is already there. SMK Bandar Baru Uda is 800 m, Angsana Mall 2.6 km, Larkin Sentral 3.9 km and Giant Tampoi 3.5 km. Larkin is a settled part of Johor Bahru, not a new frontier — the amenities are built, not promised.
Why Amberwood Resort Residences May Not Suit You
It is leasehold. That is the single biggest structural difference from the freehold stock elsewhere in Johor Bahru, and it affects both the resale pool and the state consent step on any future sale. Ask for the remaining term in writing before you go further.
The RTS is a drive, not a walk. Bukit Chagar is 8.5 km out and CIQ 9.5 km. The developer’s shuttle service closes some of that gap, but a shuttle is an operational promise, not a piece of infrastructure — ask how long it is committed for and who pays for it after handover.
Eight levels of car park sit inside the building, from LG2 to Level 6. The recreation deck is at Level 7, which means the lower residential floors look out over podium rather than open sky. Check the outlook from the actual floor you are offered, not from the show unit.
824 units on 3.49 acres is dense, and the plate is wide. Nineteen doors to a floor in Tower A and thirteen in Tower B. The FAQ does not publish a lift count for either tower — get that number in writing, because it is the one thing that cannot be added after construction.
It is a commercial title under HDA. The housing-development protections apply, but assessment and utility tariffs can follow the commercial schedule rather than the residential one. Ask the developer to confirm which applies before you budget the monthly cost.
