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.

Holding Causewayz Square Dover month to month

For the starting-price unit of Causewayz Square Dover, at RM727,500, a 90% loan of RM654,750 repaid over 35 years at 4% a year, my example rate, costs about RM2,899 a month. The entry unit here, 474 sq ft, carries a service charge of about RM171 a month, sinking fund included. Budget roughly RM3,070 a month, not yet counting assessment tax or quit rent.

Tell me which unit you are considering on WhatsApp, +60 17-880 2526, and I will work it out for that unit.

The 4% is an example rate rather than a quote, and what you sign for is priced unit by unit and floor by floor. For a different loan, scale it up or down with the table below.

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.

For a RM650,000 loan at 4% over 35 years, take 6.5 × RM443: about RM2,880 a month.

Service charge and sinking fund

The service charge at Causewayz Square Dover is RM0.36 a month for each square foot, and that already counts the sinking fund. Under the Strata Management Act 2013, the sinking fund is at least 10% of the service charge and is kept for major repairs.

Across the 125 high-rise projects I track, the middle figure is RM0.40 per sq ft. Causewayz Square Dover sits below it, about RM19 a month less on the smallest unit than a building charging the middle figure.
