What You Get at Causewayz Square Axis
Just Two Plans
Pick the 366 sq ft studio (Type A, one bathroom) or the 592 sq ft Type B, which has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a dual-key split. Fewer choices, but each is clearly aimed at a particular buyer.
Dual-Key Type B
Each half of Type B holds a bedroom, its own bathroom and its own kitchen area off a shared foyer, so a couple can use all 592 sq ft or keep one side ready for visiting family.
20 Units, 8 Lifts a Floor
On a typical floor, 20 units share eight passenger lifts, roughly 2.5 homes to a lift, and there is a service lift too. Two further lifts run only between the car park floors.
Facilities on Level 60
The shared sky facilities are on Level 60. Expect an infinity pool and a wading pool, a jacuzzi lounge, a BBQ deck and a gym, along with social, entertainment and co-working lounges, a games room and karaoke.
Shops Below, Lobby at Ground
The ground floor has a grand lobby with a drop-off and waiting lounge, and the same floor holds retail units, part of the Causewayz Square development.
One Car Park, RM0.36 psf Fee
Studio or dual-key, each Axis home is sold with one car park. Maintenance is RM0.36 per sq ft including the sinking fund: about RM132 a month for a studio and about RM213 a month for Type B.

Who it suits
- Singles and couples, and landlords letting to them. Layouts start at 366 sq ft, which is a one or two person home rather than a family one.
- Buyers who can wait. Completion is expected in 2030, so budget for rent until then.
- Malaysian buyers; foreign buyers only through the serviced-apartment route. No unit here reaches Johor's RM1,000,000 minimum for a foreign buyer. Below that line Johor allows a foreign purchase only of a serviced apartment or SOHO bought from the developer (not on a resale), with State Authority approval and a levy of at least RM50,000.
Who it may not suit
- You need to move in before 2030. Completion is expected in 2030, about 4 years after signing this year, so plan to rent or stay where you are until then.
- Your family needs three bedrooms. The largest layout here has only 2 bedrooms.
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.

Holding Causewayz Square Axis month to month
For the starting-price unit of Causewayz Square Axis, at RM580,300, a 90% loan of RM522,270 repaid over 35 years at 4% a year, my example rate, costs about RM2,312 a month. The entry unit here, 366 sq ft, carries a service charge of about RM132 a month, sinking fund included. Budget roughly RM2,444 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.
Your monthly bill in parts
| Part | Each month | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Instalment on a 90% loan of RM522,270 | RM2,312 | 90% of RM580,300, 35 years at 4% a year |
| Service charge | RM132 | RM0.36 on each of 366 square feet |
| Sinking fund | Already included | 10% of the service charge, the legal minimum |
| Assessment tax | Two bills a year | Your local council sets it on the annual value |
| Quit rent | One bill a year | Due every 1 January |
| Total a month | RM2,444 | 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 RM522,270 loan costs about RM159 more a month, and a 30-year term instead of 35 adds about RM181. If this would be your third or later home loan, the bank can lend at most 70% of the property's value.
| For each RM100,000, at a rate of | Repaid over 35 years | Repaid over 30 years |
|---|---|---|
| 4.0% a year | RM443 a month | RM477 a month |
| 4.5% a year | RM473 a month | RM507 a month |
| 5.0% a year | RM505 a month | RM537 a month |
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 Axis 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 Axis sits below it, about RM15 a month less on the smallest unit than a building charging the middle figure.
