Larkinton Adison

WCT Green Sdn Bhd is building Larkinton Adison, a freehold serviced apartment project in Larkin, Johor Bahru. In Phase 1, four towers of 22 storeys hold 1,024 units across an 8.62-acre plot. The main lobby is on Level 1, parking fills Levels 2 to 5, Level 6 is the facility deck, and residences begin at Level 7. The completion target is Q2 2028.

Location is the whole case here. Just 500 metres separates the site from Johor Golf & Country Club, while the CIQ crossing, Johor Bahru City Square and KOMTAR JBCC are all within roughly five kilometres. Few new launches in Johor Bahru sit this near to the city centre and a golf course at once.

At street level there are thirty-seven retail shops. The project forms a single parcel within W City Larkinton, a wider masterplan that also includes hotels, a convention centre, a business tower and a planned neighbourhood mall.

Read the masterplan carefully, and read the word "planned"

What exists on this land today is the apartment phase and its 37 shops. The mall, the business tower, the convention centre and the hotels are components of the W City Larkinton masterplan, not buildings you can walk into. They may well be delivered — WCT is a listed contractor-developer with the balance sheet to build them — but a masterplan is a stated intention, and phases move.

Buy this for what is contracted: a freehold apartment 500 m from the golf course, five kilometres from KOMTAR, with 37 shops on its own ground floor. Treat the rest of the masterplan as upside you have not paid for rather than as amenity you are buying. If a specific component matters to your plans, ask for its stage and its own approval status, not the masterplan drawing.

One more thing worth being straight about. The golf course being 500 m away gives you proximity and an outlook — not access. Johor Golf & Country Club is a private club with its own membership. What the distance buys you is the green space on the horizon and the low-rise buffer it puts between you and the rest of Larkin.

Unit Types

Note how the built-up is measured. Each plan sheet states that the figure includes the air-conditioning ledge — 15 sq ft on Type A and 17 sq ft on Types B and C. That is disclosed on the drawing rather than buried, but it means the internal floor area is a little under the headline number, which is worth knowing when you compare against a development that quotes it the other way.

Types B and C both include a yard, which is uncommon at 651 and 791 sq ft.

Layout & Floor Plan

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

Type A at 501 sq ft is a studio with one bathroom — a single open living, dining and sleeping space with the kitchen along one wall. Type B at 651 sq ft is a two-bedroom with one bathroom and a yard behind the kitchen. Type C at 791 sq ft is the two-bedroom with two bathrooms, also with a yard, and it is the only layout that comes with two car park bays.

Worth flagging: some listings describe Type B as a "2+1 bedroom" and Type C as a "2+2 bedroom". The plan sheets themselves read "2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | Yard" and "2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | Yard". This page follows the plan sheets, because that is what is drawn.

Adison East (Towers 2A, 2B and 2D) makes up Phase 2 and brings more two-bedroom variants, sized 679 sq ft, 681 sq ft and 793 sq ft. As a later phase, they are left off this listing.

Facilities

Counted off the developer’s own plan: 12 facilities at Larkinton Adison. Ask which of these are in the first phase of handover and which follow later.

• BBQ pit
• Gym and yoga room
• Jacuzzi
• Multipurpose hall
• Pavilion
• Playground
• Plaza and decking
• Pool lounge
• Seating and leisure areas
• Sunken amphitheatre
• Swimming pool
• Wading pool

The facility deck occupies the whole of Level 6, sitting above the four car park levels.

Security runs to three tiers, and 37 retail shops sit at ground level within the development.

Developer Background

WCT Green Sdn Bhd is the developer of Larkinton Adison, and its advertising panel carries the statutory details. The Developer Licence, no. 30376/02-2028/0053(N), runs from 17 February 2023 until 16 February 2028. The permit for sales and advertising is 30376-1/10-2026/1193(A)-(S).

With the masterplan being built in phases, anyone buying into Phase 1 needs to think about the plot next door. The Phase 2 towers are planned for the same land, meaning Phase 1’s first residents will probably have a construction site beside them for some time after handover. Get the Phase 2 schedule before choosing a tower and which way your unit faces.
