Sunway LakeHills: Elevating Luxury Living in Johor’s Financial Hub
Sunway Property has officially broken ground on its flagship high-rise project in Sunway Lenang Heights, introducing Sunway LakeHills—a RM1.1 billion development that blends resort-style living with urban connectivity in the heart of Taman Molek, Johor Bahru.
Located within an 88-acre freehold masterplan and fronting a 30-acre twin-lake garden, Sunway LakeHills will be the tallest residential development in Taman Molek, redefining skyline living in one of Johor’s most prestigious precincts.
A Landmark Within a Mature Freehold Enclave
As the crown jewel of Sunway Lenang Heights, Sunway LakeHills offers uninterrupted 360° panoramic views of the Johor Bahru skyline, the surrounding golf course, and the lakeside gardens. With 88% of the masterplan already complete, this final high-rise addition will elevate the township from low-rise luxury into a premium vertical community.
The twin-lake garden, enhanced in partnership with Johor Bahru City Council (MBJB), now features a boardwalk, jogging paths, sports facilities, and children’s play areas—cementing its role as a lifestyle hub for both residents and visitors.
Tallest Residences in Taman Molek
The project’s residential component will consist of two 46-storey towers and one 33-storey tower, housing 1,200 premium residences. The first launch will offer 862 units, starting from RM560,000, with completion targeted for 2029.
Designed with private lift lobbies and Sunway’s signature loft concept, the layouts cater to a variety of lifestyles—appealing to young professionals, families, and investors seeking flexibility and premium finishes.
Key features include:
-
Low-density layout with only two units per wing
-
Private lift lobbies serving three lifts per two units
-
Over 2 acres of resort-style facilities including an infinity pool, gyms, landscaped decks, and leisure spaces
Feng Shui-Recognised “Five Element Soil” Site
In a rare distinction, Feng Shui consultant Master Louis Loh has identified the Sunway LakeHills site as a “Five Element Soil” location, representing a harmonious balance of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth energies. This is believed to enhance prosperity, health, and harmony for residents—a factor that resonates strongly with Asian buyers who value auspicious site selection.
The project’s towers are also positioned to embrace a spacious Bright Hall, symbolising wealth gathering and open pathways for opportunity.
Future-Ready, Green and Sustainable
Guided by the Sunway Design and Development Architecture (SDDA) framework, the project integrates:
-
GreenRE and CASBEE-compliant building standards
-
Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations
-
Dedicated recycling facilities
-
Innovative sunken landscaped decks to maximise greenery and community spaces
This emphasis on environmental responsibility aligns with Sunway’s long-term vision of creating sustainable, future-ready communities.
Prime Location With Strong Connectivity
Only 13km from Johor Bahru City Centre, Sunway LakeHills offers excellent access via:
-
Eastern Dispersal Link Expressway (EDL)

Taman Molek’s reputation as a financial hub—with multiple banks and corporate offices—adds appeal for professionals seeking a blend of work-life convenience.
Part of Johor’s JS-SEZ Growth Story
Sunway LakeHills is more than just a residential address—it’s part of Johor Bahru’s transformation into an international gateway city, boosted by the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) initiative. The development complements Sunway’s other major Johor investments, including:
-
Sunway Majestic (RM4B mixed-use development at Yahya Awal)

Bukit Chagar Transit-Oriented Development (RM2.6B TOD project)
By positioning key projects along vital economic corridors—from JB City Centre and First Link to the Second Link at Sunway City Iskandar Puteri—Sunway is anchoring itself in the region’s cross-border growth.
Investment Outlook
With its freehold status, luxury positioning, and transit-oriented growth potential, Sunway LakeHills stands out as a long-term investment in Johor Bahru’s evolving property market. Buyers can expect:
-
Strong appeal to Singapore-based professionals seeking cross-border residences
-
Capital appreciation potential as RTS connectivity shortens travel times
-
Long-term lifestyle value thanks to its low-density, lakefront environment
