Mandolin Residences
Mandolin Residences is a freehold serviced residence development in Taman Desa Tebrau, Johor Bahru, developed by Plenitude Berhad. The phase now selling is Towers A and B — 356 units over 36 storeys, with podium parking from the ground floor to Level 5, a full facility deck on Level 6, homes from Level 7 to Level 36, and a Sky Garden inserted at Level 30. Completion is targeted for Q1 2030.
Quick answer: Mandolin Residences is a freehold High Rise Condominium development by Plenitude Berhad in Taman Desa Tebrau, Johor Bahru, Johor. It offers 356 units with studio to 3 bedrooms, from 542 to 1,017 sq ft, with completion targeted for Q1 2030.
Twelve units to a floor is the whole argument
Twelve units per floor across two towers is a genuinely low count for this segment, and it is what makes the Sky Garden work. A mid-building amenity floor only stays usable when there are few enough households sharing it — put a thousand homes above it and the same deck becomes a queue. At 356 units, the Level 30 garden is something you can actually walk out onto on a weekday evening.
The stacking is deliberate too: parking sits on the podium from ground to Level 5, the main facility deck takes Level 6, and the homes start at Level 7. Nobody lives directly above a car park ramp, and nobody on a residential floor looks straight into the pool deck.
Unit Types
Five layouts, from a 542 sq ft studio to a 1,017 sq ft three-bedroom.
| Type | Size | Bedrooms | Bathrooms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type A | 542 sq ft | Studio | 1 |
| Type B | 763 sq ft | 2 | 2 |
| Type C1 | 906 sq ft | 2 + 1 | 2 |
| Type C2 | 924 sq ft | 3 + study area | 2 |
| Type D | 1,017 sq ft | 3 | 2 |
Car park allocation follows the size: Type A gets one bay, Type B one or two, and Types C1, C2 and D two bays each.
Layout & Floor Plan
Type A (542 sq ft) is labelled a studio, but the plan is more generous than the word suggests — the sleeping area is partitioned off from the living and dining space rather than left open, and the kitchen is a separate galley. One bathroom, and an air-conditioner ledge rather than a balcony. It suits a single occupant or a weekday base.
Type B (763 sq ft) is the two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout, also with an A/C ledge instead of a balcony. This is the size most buyers in this corridor start with.
Type C1 (906 sq ft) is the 2+1. Read the plan carefully here: the “+1” is a utility room off the kitchen, not a third bedroom and not a study — it takes the washing machine and opens onto a separate yard. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a balcony off the living area.
Type C2 (924 sq ft) takes almost the same footprint and gets you three proper bedrooms and a study area — an open desk zone sitting off the dining space rather than a closed room. If you want a genuine third bedroom, this is the one, not C1.
Type D (1,017 sq ft) is the largest three-bedroom, with a balcony and the most generous living area of the five. All five plans are on this page.

Location & Connectivity
Taman Desa Tebrau sits on the Tebrau corridor, the stretch that holds most of Johor Bahru’s modern retail. The Eastern Dispersal Link is the piece that matters for a Singapore commute — it feeds straight into the CIQ complex without going through the old town — and the Senai–Desaru Highway runs the other way to Senai International Airport.

Developer Background
Mandolin Residences is developed by Plenitude Berhad, a listed Malaysian property developer. Towers A and B form the phase currently selling; Towers C and D follow as Phase 3, so the site will remain an active construction address after the first two towers hand over — worth factoring in if you are among the earliest to move in.

Is Mandolin Residences Right For You?
Why Buy at Mandolin Residences
Freehold, and only twelve units to a floor. 356 homes across two towers, not a thousand. That density is what makes the amenity floors usable — a Sky Garden shared by a few hundred households behaves differently from one shared by a few thousand, and freehold means no lease expiry to work around and no state consent on a future sale.
Two amenity levels instead of one. Over thirty facilities are split between the Level 6 podium deck — pool, wading pool, sunken lounge, outdoor gym, futsal court, gym, game room, reading room — and a Sky Garden on Level 30 with viewing decks and a sky lounge. Most projects in this segment give you one deck and stop there.
It sits on the Tebrau corridor. IKEA Tebrau, AEON Tebrau City, Toppen, Hospital Sultan Ismail and KPJ Bandar Dato Onn are all in the immediate catchment, and the Eastern Dispersal Link runs straight into the CIQ complex without going through the old town.
Why Mandolin Residences May Not Suit You
Completion is Q1 2030. That is over four years of waiting on a building that does not exist yet. If you need a home to move into, this is the wrong project — read the SPA delivery clause and look at how Plenitude has performed on handover dates before you commit.
It is a commercial title under the Housing Development Act. You get the HDA protections, but utilities and assessment are billed at commercial rates rather than residential ones. Budget for that difference every month, not just at purchase.
Tebrau is a driving address. There is no rail station within walking distance and the Johor Bahru city centre is 14 km away, so every working adult in the household realistically needs a car. Types C and D come with two bays; Type A gets one.
