Price and value

The Asteriaz is the cheaper entry, from RM474,900 against RM543,800 for The Celestz: a gap of RM68,900, or about 15%.

At a 90% loan over 35 years at 3.7%, that is roughly RM264 a month more for The Celestz at the entry price.

Per square foot, The Asteriaz is lower at entry (RM848 against RM936). Smaller units usually cost more per square foot, so compare like with like.

Location

The two towers share the same street in Kebun Teh, an established district between Larkin and Johor Bahru city centre. KSL City Mall, Danga Bay and Columbia Asia Hospital serve both, and JB Sentral and the CIQ checkpoint are a short drive away. Location does not separate them; price, layouts and timing do.

Pros and cons

The Asteriaz

Entry from RM474,900, about RM848 psf, for a new tower close to the JB city centre
Already under construction: launched Q4 2024, with quarterly site photos published up to Q3 2026
Partially furnished handover: kitchen cabinets, hood and hob, fridge, microwave, washer-dryer, air-conditioning and digital lock

Leasehold commercial title: expect commercial-rate utility bills and loan pricing
High density: 848 units here and 735 more at The Celestz on the same street will compete for tenants and resale buyers
Keys are not expected until around 2029 (52 months from the APDL date), so plan for a multi-year wait

The Celestz

Entry from RM543,800, about RM936 psf, for a new tower in JB's inner ring
Four layouts, including a 753 sqft two-bedroom that The Asteriaz next door does not offer
The 915 sqft three-bedroom has the lowest starting psf in the project, about RM865

Leasehold commercial title: utility tariffs and financing differ from residential
735 units here plus 848 at The Asteriaz on the same street: a deep pool of similar units for rent and resale
Off-plan: completion within 52 months of the APDL, around 2029
