( About )

Shade,roots,stillness.

Bodaiju (菩提樹) is the Bodhi tree, under which the Buddha found stillness. The name is a promise kept in the architecture: fourteen homes to a floor where towers nearby stack more, light held in the unhurried intervals the Japanese call ma, and the quiet attentiveness of omotenashi in every shared space.

A home built to settle the mind, not to crowd it.

Nine kilometresfrom Singapore,heart of Medini

Medini is the designated central business district of Iskandar Malaysia, a master-planned township backed by Khazanah Nasional and Japan's Mitsui & Co.

Japanesediscipline,delivered

Founded in Tokyo in 1996, Creed Group has spent three decades in principal investment and property management, expanding across Southeast Asia since 2006. The group has delivered before under this very name: Bodaiju Residences Phnom Penh, 928 homes, handed over in January 2020.

In Malaysia, the group has worked a single township for over a decade: present in Medini since 2013, wholly owning the local entity since 2015, with the ION commercial precinct in Zone C completed and certified. Bodaiju is the residential chapter of that patience.

( FAQ )

Asked.Answered.

Project facts follow the official sales kit dated 13 January 2026; zone rules and taxes are stated as at July 2026. For anything beyond,.

( The Project )

( 1 )Where exactly is Bodaiju Residences?

Bodaiju Residences is on Parcel C11, Jalan Medini Sentral 5, Medini, 79250 Iskandar Puteri, Johor, Malaysia. The site is about 9 km from the Second Link (Sultan Abu Bakar) checkpoint towards Singapore, and the nearest bus stop is 100 m from the door.

( 2 )What is the selling price?

Tower A is priced from RM299,000 to RM659,000 per the latest price list, across four layouts from 463 to 1,012 sq ft. Tower B pricing is to be confirmed.

( 3 )How many units and what sizes?

Bodaiju Residences has 802 homes across two towers. Tower A (405 homes, first phase) offers four layouts: Type A 463 sq ft (1 bedroom), Type B 753 sq ft (2 bedrooms), Type C 893 sq ft (3 bedrooms) and Type C1 Dual Key 1,012 sq ft (3 bedrooms, two entrances).

( 4 )How do I commute to Singapore? Will the RTS Link help?

Bodaiju is about 9 km from the Second Link (Sultan Abu Bakar) checkpoint, the practical crossing for Medini residents. The RTS Link, targeted to open in January 2027, runs from Bukit Chagar in JB city centre to Woodlands North in about 5 minutes, but it does not serve Medini, which is roughly 25 km from Bukit Chagar. Buyers who commute daily via Tuas are the natural fit for this location.

( 5 )How much parking is provided?

1,446 bays across seven levels (Ground to Level 6), including 80 visitor bays. Type A and B receive 1 bay; Type C receives 2 bays or 1 tandem; Type C1 receives 2 bays. EV charging is provided from day one.

( 6 )What are the maintenance charges?

Estimated RM0.32 per sq ft monthly, plus a sinking fund of 10% of the maintenance fee. On the 463 sq ft Type A that is roughly RM163 per month.

( 7 )When is completion, and what warranty applies?

Tower A completes 24 months from the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement; Tower B is to be confirmed. The defect liability period is 24 months from vacant possession, and every unit is covered by the standard Malaysian SPA framework under an APDL-licensed development.

( Ownership & Money )

( 8 )Can Singaporeans and other foreigners buy Bodaiju Residences?

Yes. Any nationality can buy at Bodaiju Residences with no foreign ownership restriction and no minimum purchase price, because the project sits inside the Medini incentive zone. A Singaporean signs on the same terms as a Malaysian, and Medini also carries no Bumiputera quota.

( 9 )Why can foreigners buy in Medini below Johor's RM1 million minimum?

Foreign buyers in Johor normally face a RM1,000,000 minimum purchase price, but new strata homes inside the designated Medini zone are exempt under Iskandar Malaysia's special-economic-zone incentives. That is why a foreigner can buy Bodaiju's RM299,000 Type A legally. Johor state consent is still required and is fast-tracked for Medini, typically about 14 days.

( 10 )Do I need MM2H or a visa to buy?

No. You do not need MM2H, residency or any visa to buy at Bodaiju Residences. MM2H is a separate residency programme; some buyers pursue it later for longer stays or higher loan margins, but it is not a condition of purchase.

( 11 )What is the land tenure, and what happens after 99 years?

Bodaiju is held under a lease over the parcel running 99 years from 28 December 2015, the standard structure for Medini. At expiry the land reverts to the master landowner unless renewed or converted. The Medini lease structure was upheld as valid by Malaysia's Court of Appeal on 29 April 2025, and since January 2025 the landowner IIB has offered lease-to-freehold conversion, reported at approximately RM10,000 per completed unit. Confirm current conversion terms with IIB before relying on them.

( 12 )What taxes and fees does a foreign buyer pay?

As at 2026, a foreign buyer of a Malaysian residential unit pays a flat 8% stamp duty on the transfer (effective 1 January 2026, based on the date the transfer is executed), plus Johor state consent of 3% of the purchase price with a minimum of RM30,000 (effective 1 July 2025), plus legal fees. On sale, RPGT is 30% within five years of purchase and 10% thereafter for foreigners. Have your lawyer confirm the figures for your own transaction.

( 13 )Can a foreigner get a Malaysian home loan? Can I use CPF?

Yes, foreigners can borrow from Malaysian banks, typically at 60 to 70% loan-to-value. For Bodaiju, Bank Islam, Bank Muamalat and RHB have approved end financing, with Affin Bank, Public Bank and CIMB pending. Singapore CPF savings cannot be used for Malaysian property; plan for the down payment in cash.

( The Developer )

( 14 )Is Bodaiju related to Forest City or Country Garden?

No. Bodaiju Residences is developed by Creed Property Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Creed Group, a privately-held Japanese real estate group established in Tokyo in 1996. It has no relationship with Country Garden, Forest City, or any Chinese developer.

( 15 )Has the developer delivered before?

Yes. Creed Group completed Bodaiju Residences Phnom Penh (928 homes) in January 2020, and has completed the ION commercial precinct in Medini Zone C, where the Bodaiju sales gallery now sits. Bodaiju Medini is constructed by MGB Berhad, a Bursa-listed contractor under LBS Bina Group, with RDC Architects on design.
