Office space for rent in Johor Bahru

Three buildings, two locations

Johor Bahru's listed stock is thin but workable: 3 buildings hold 26 lots between them, divided between the old city centre around Jalan Wong Ah Fook, close to the causeway crossing, and the Medini Lakeside address to the west. With 26 lots on the market, a Johor Bahru search takes days rather than weeks, and the real filter is which of the 3 buildings has the right size free on the right date.

Lot sizes in Johor Bahru start at 5 m² and top out at 220 m², with the median at 36 m² — a small-suite market where half the units fall below that size. Anything approaching the 220 m² ceiling comes from the top of that 26-lot pool, so a company planning a regional back office in Johor Bahru should ask about combining adjacent units rather than assume a single large floor is on offer.

Rent levels

Quoted rents in Johor Bahru range from $336 to $665 per m² a year with $390 as the midpoint, and the midpoint sitting near the bottom of that range shows most of the 26 lots are priced in the lower half, with a short premium tail above. For a 36 m² median suite the midpoint works out to about $14,000 a year, which is the benchmark any Johor Bahru quote is worth checking against before negotiating fit-out or term.
