Question 1

Why can foreigners buy property in Medini below RM 1 million?

Accepted Answer

Medini is designated an international zone within Iskandar Puteri, exempt from Johor's standard RM 1 million state minimum for foreign buyers — but only for new strata units purchased directly from developers. Resale transactions still face the RM 1 million threshold, which can affect future liquidity. MM2H holders also face the programme's own RM 600,000 minimum. Verify the specific unit's eligibility status with a Johor conveyancing lawyer.

Question 2

What is the price range for new launch condos in Medini?

Accepted Answer

New launch pricing in Medini is usually lower than the most walkable JB CIQ stock, especially for one-to-two bedroom strata units. Larger units vary widely by tower, furnishing and location within Medini. The bigger question is not only price; buyers should weigh the foreign-buyer advantage against each building's occupancy, rental demand and resale liquidity.

Question 3

What is the difference between Medini and Forest City for MM2H buyers?

Accepted Answer

Both are foreign-friendly investment zones in Iskandar Puteri but operate under different rules. Medini is an international zone with no state minimum for new strata purchases. Forest City is a separate Special Economic Zone with its own designated MM2H SEZ pathway, allowing foreign purchases from RM 500,000 with lower MM2H fixed deposit thresholds (USD 65,000 / USD 32,000 for age 50+). Forest City has a stronger MM2H tax-incentive framework, while Medini offers more diverse residential choices.

Question 4

How is Medini connected to Singapore and Johor Bahru CIQ?

Accepted Answer

Medini is closest to the Tuas Second Link checkpoint — approximately 10-15 minutes by car in clear traffic. There is no rail link to either Singapore or to the upcoming Bukit Chagar RTS station, which is 30-40 minutes away by car. Public transport is limited to cross-border bus services. Owning a car is essentially mandatory for residents.

Question 5

Is Medini a good investment area in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Medini's investment outlook depends heavily on the specific development. Some buildings benefit from stronger management, better occupancy and tenant demand from EduCity or nearby employment nodes. Others remain exposed to supply pressure and slower resale demand. The foreign-buyer threshold exemption is useful, but it does not turn every Medini project into a good investment; occupancy and liquidity checks matter more than the area label.
