About Iskandar Puteri

Iskandar Puteri (formerly Nusajaya) is the administrative capital of Johor state and the flagship development zone within the Iskandar Malaysia economic corridor. This master-planned city represents Malaysia's most ambitious urban development project, transforming what was once palm oil plantation land into a modern, self-contained city with world-class amenities. The neighborhood is anchored by several major catalysts: EduCity, home to branch campuses of University of Southampton and Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia; Legoland Malaysia and Puteri Harbour, which draw family tourism; and the Kota Iskandar government precinct housing the Johor state administration. Residential options range from affordable landed homes to premium waterfront condominiums at Puteri Harbour. With 30-40% property price growth in recent years and rental yields of 5.1-6.4%, Iskandar Puteri is attracting increasing attention from both Singaporean buyers seeking value and international investors betting on the Johor-Singapore integration story. The JS-SEZ (Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone) is expected to further accelerate demand, particularly for properties within the designated economic zones.
