Bodaiju Residences is a 802-unit twin-tower serviced apartment in Medini, Iskandar Puteri — 9km from Singapore via the Second Link (Tuas). Developed by Creed Group Japan, it is one of the few new launches in Medini with no foreign buyer restrictions, GreenRE green certification, and a Japanese-quality fit-out that stands apart from most Johor new launches.
Inside Bodaiju Residences
The show units reflect Creed Group's Japanese design philosophy — warm timber finishes, clean lines, and functional layouts that make efficient use of every square foot.

Location
Bodaiju sits within Medini — the designated international zone of Iskandar Puteri with no minimum purchase price for foreign buyers. The Second Link (Tuas Checkpoint) is 9km away. With the RTS Link (Bukit Chagar–Woodlands North) opening in 2027, cross-border access from this corridor becomes significantly easier.
Developer: Creed Group Japan
Bodaiju Residences is developed by Creed Property Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. — a wholly-owned subsidiary of Creed Group, a Japanese real estate group founded in 1996. Creed Group has completed projects across Japan, Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, Jakarta, and Dhaka. Their Medini project is their first in Johor.
The Bodaiju name (菩提樹 — the Bodhi tree) reflects the Japanese design approach: quality finishes, natural material tones, and functional layouts built for long-term liveability rather than sales-gallery impressiveness.

Who Bodaiju suits
- Singapore-based buyers seeking a lower-entry-point Johor property — RM 299,000 is approximately S$91,000 at mid-2026 exchange rates, with no minimum price restriction in Medini
- Foreign buyers who want full ownership rights without the bureaucratic complexity of other zones
- Investors looking for a managed rental product near the Second Link corridor, ahead of the RTS Link opening in 2027
- Buyers on a RM 300K–700K budget who want a quality new launch in Iskandar Puteri
Who should look elsewhere
- Families wanting freehold landed property — Eco Botanic or Horizon Hills are better fits
- Buyers who prioritise international school proximity — Sunway City has SIS and other schools within walking distance
- Buyers expecting short-term capital gains — like all new launches, Bodaiju is a medium-to-long hold
Sam's take
Bodaiju fills a real gap in the Medini market: a quality new-launch serviced apartment with no minimum price for foreign buyers, a credible Japanese developer, and genuine Second Link proximity. The interior quality from Creed Group is noticeably above the typical Johor new launch — timber finishes, thoughtful layouts, and a fit-out standard that photographs honestly rather than just looking good in a show gallery.
The dual-key units (only 5 remaining) are the most interesting for buyers who want flexibility — live in one half, rent out the other. If your budget is RM 300K–700K and the Second Link corridor makes sense for your profile, Bodaiju is worth a serious look.
