Two Dover towers of one- to three-bedroom homes near JB Sentral
Causewayz Square Dover Johor Bahru
Dover is the twin-tower block of Causewayz Square, the Exsim freehold project in central Johor Bahru. Its 1,527 homes sit in Towers D1 and D2 and come in three sizes, 474, 667 and 850 sq ft, from one bedroom to three, with prices from RM727,500 and completion expected in December 2030.

Dover’s two towers share 1,527 homes on a freehold commercial title in the middle of Johor Bahru. D1 takes 18 per floor between Levels 13 and 56, while D2 takes 16 (only 13 on Level 40). Every home is one of three sizes. The 474 sq ft Type C has one bedroom; the D1 and D2 plans, at 667 sq ft, have two bedrooms and two bathrooms; the E and F plans, at 850 sq ft, have three bedrooms, and the F pair are dual-key. I would point a young couple, a small family or someone working across the border to Dover; a household that needs four bedrooms will find it tight. Foreign buyers face Johor’s RM1,000,000 minimum, and no purchase goes ahead without approval by the State Authority. Only Dover units priced at RM1,000,000 or above meet it. A foreigner looking at a cheaper Dover unit can buy it solely from the developer, as a serviced apartment, again with State Authority approval and a levy of no less than RM50,000; that door stays shut on the resale market.

What You Get at Causewayz Square Dover
Small and mid-sized city homes in two towers, with car parks matched to the unit size and facilities on Level 12 and Level 57.
Two Towers, 1,527 Homes
D1 is the busier tower, with 18 homes a floor from Level 13 up to 56. D2 has 16, or 13 on Level 40. A floor has six passenger lifts, plus a lift for service use, so in D1 roughly three homes share one passenger lift.
474, 667 or 850 sq ft
Type C squeezes one bedroom into 474 sq ft. Next come D1 and D2, two bedrooms and two bathrooms in 667 sq ft. Largest are E1, E2, F1 and F2: three bedrooms in 850 sq ft, with a balcony on E1 and F1.
Dual-Key Three-Bedroom Units
F1 and F2 split an 850 sq ft home into two parts, each reached through its own door, so a grown child or an elderly parent can stay close and still keep some privacy. Only F1 has a balcony.
One or Two Car Parks
Buy a Type C or a D unit and you get one car park. The three-bedroom E and F units come with two, useful when both adults drive.
Facilities on Level 12 and 57
On Level 12 you will find a lap pool, shallow pools, a wading pool, a water playground, a gym, a games room and a karaoke room. Level 57 adds a sky roof garden, a herb garden, a BBQ spot and a parcourse.
RM0.36 psf Monthly Fee
Maintenance is RM0.36 per sq ft a month, sinking fund included. That works out to about RM171 a month for the 474 sq ft Type C and about RM306 a month for an 850 sq ft home.
Causewayz Square Dover Layout Plans
Dover homes come in 474, 667 and 850 sq ft. Type C has one bedroom, D1 and D2 have two, and E1, E2, F1 and F2 have three, with the F pair built as dual-key units. Six plans are shown here; F2 is the F1 plan without a balcony. Ask me for the stacking plan of D1 or D2 and the units still open.

Across the water, Singapore’s Woodlands Train Checkpoint is about 1.9 km off. Jaya Grocer, about 280 m away, covers groceries. The City Square mall is roughly 540 m from Dover and Komtar JBCC about 680 m. Open University Malaysia is about 700 m away, KPJ Medical Suites about 930 m and Taman Istana Besar about 1.5 km.

What to confirm before you sign
The service charge per square foot. It is the cost you carry every month for as long as you own, and it varies several times over between buildings.
Car park allocation in writing. Some city projects allocate none; you rent a bay monthly instead.
It sits on a Commercial title under the Housing Development Act. That changes utility tariffs and assessment rates compared with a residential title — ask for the figures before you budget.
The delivery date in the sale and purchase agreement, not the one in the brochure.

Instalment and service charge
Work out your own instalment
The bank's formula is monthly payment = P × r ÷ [1 − (1 + r)−n]. P is the amount borrowed, r is the yearly rate ÷ 12, and n is the number of monthly payments: 420 over 35 years.
Most new home loans float. The rate is the Standardised Base Rate (SBR) plus a spread the bank sets for you, and the SBR tracks the Overnight Policy Rate, which Bank Negara has held at 2.75% from 9 July 2025. At 4.5% instead of 4%, that RM654,750 loan costs about RM200 more a month, and a 30-year term instead of 35 adds about RM227. If this would be your third or later home loan, the bank can lend at most 70% of the property's value.
