Ceros Residences

KSL is behind Ceros Residences, freehold serviced apartments in Gelang Patah, Iskandar Puteri. A 3.285-acre site takes two towers of 30 storeys with 1,148 apartments in total. At street level there are 17 shop lots; Levels 1 to 7 are car park, and the facilities floor occupies Levels 8 and 9. Its statutory completion date falls in August 2028.

Six layouts, from a 506 sq ft studio to an 883 sq ft three-bedroom. The development sits inside KSL Alma, the developer’s own 84-acre freehold township in Mukim Pulai, within the Iskandar Malaysia Flagship Zone B.

Stadium Sultan Ibrahim is only one kilometre off. For anyone commuting to Singapore from this part of Johor, though, the figure to watch is 6.5 km: the distance to the Second Link Expressway between Malaysia and Singapore, since you are in the Second Link corridor here and not near the Causeway.

The shops are downstairs, and so is a dense floor plate

The thing that separates Ceros from most towers in this corridor is that 17 commercial lots sit inside the development at street level, from 833 to 1,884 sq ft. That is the daily-needs layer built into the address rather than a five-minute drive away, and on a site of 3.285 acres it is a deliberate choice about how the land is used.

The other side of that same choice deserves saying plainly. Putting 1,148 homes and 17 shops on 3.285 acres means a dense floor plate: 21 units per floor in Tower A and 29 in Tower B, served by five lifts. Twenty-nine homes to a floor is at the heavy end for this segment. If you are viewing, ask which tower and which floor, and go at the hours when everyone else is going down.

What softens it is where the facilities sit. The pool, gym, playground and café space are on Levels 8 and 9, above seven floors of car park, not at ground level next to the road. That is quieter and more private than a ground-level deck, and it is the reason the car park stack is as tall as it is.

Unit Types

The 1+1 layout is Type B1: a single bedroom with a utility room that can serve as either a study or a second bedroom.

Layout & Floor Plan

All six plans are the developer’s own drawings, each printed with its type code, bedroom count and built-up area.

The three C types are worth looking at together, because the numbers do not tell the story on their own. C1 is 850 sq ft and C3 is 883 sq ft, both three-bedroom with two bathrooms and a balcony. C2 is 818 sq ft and is the same three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout without a balcony — the plan sheet itself says so. So C2 is not a smaller apartment in the sense of less living space; it is the balcony that is missing from the built-up.

Type A is the studio at 506 sq ft with a balcony. B1 at 646 sq ft adds the utility room. B2 at 764 sq ft is the straight two-bedroom.

Developer Background

The developer, KSL Development Sdn Bhd, is wholly owned by KSL Holdings Berhad. Ceros forms part of KSL Alma, the developer’s own freehold township of 84 acres in Gelang Patah, Mukim Pulai. Because of that, the landed phases, the surrounding masterplan and the road network were all planned by the same developer, not by a third party.

The statutory particulars are on the developer’s own advertising panel: developer licence 7777/03-2028/0353(A) and Advertising and Sales Permit 7777-18/08-2028/0644(N)-(S), with the building plan approved by Majlis Bandaraya Iskandar Puteri.
