Sapphire Elan: 27 freehold bungalows launched at Setia Tropika, Johor Bahru
S P Setia's Setia Indah has launched Sapphire Elan, a 27-unit freehold bungalow collection within the Setia Tropika township in Johor Bahru. Homes offer a 5,794 sq ft built-up area on land plots from 60' x 120' to 117' x 140', with completion expected in June 2028.
Setia Indah Sdn Bhd, a member of the S P Setia group, has launched Sapphire Elan, a limited collection of 27 double-storey bungalow residences within the established Setia Tropika township in Kempas, Johor Bahru. The freehold development offers a built-up area of 5,794 sq ft per home, with land sizes ranging from 60' x 120' to 117' x 140'. Completion is expected in June 2028.
The project is positioned as an upscale landed offering centred on spacious family living and exclusivity, rather than high-density community living. Approved project information lists prices from RM5,087,988 to RM7,421,929, while the developer's current listing shows Sapphire Elan at approximately RM3.2 million to RM4.4 million. A 15 per cent Bumiputera discount is also stated. Buyers are advised to verify the latest selling price and package directly with the sales team.
Sapphire Elan sits within Setia Tropika, a mature integrated township that includes residential precincts, commercial and business components, a 12-acre town park, retail and F&B outlets, offices and other amenities. The developer highlights connectivity to Johor Bahru city centre and the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex via major highways, with access to areas including Kempas, Tampoi, Skudai, Bandar Dato' Onn, central Johor Bahru and Southkey.
Each home features a reinforced concrete structural frame with lightweight roof trusses and a combination of roof tiles and reinforced-concrete flat roofing. Internally, living, dining, guest room, kitchens, entertainment and service areas are tiled, while the master bedroom, bedrooms 2 to 4, family area, staircase and hallway use timber flooring. The specification includes seven WCs, eight wash basins, six showers, two kitchen sinks, one jacuzzi, 60 lighting points, 44 power points, nine air-conditioning points and nine ceiling-fan points.
The limited 27-unit supply and freehold tenure distinguish Sapphire Elan from the more mainstream terrace and semi-detached offerings in the wider township, placing it in the high-end landed residential segment. The project is primarily suited to buyers seeking a large family residence within an established township, with emphasis on land size, privacy and proximity to Johor Bahru's amenities. However, the high absolute entry price narrows the buyer segment, and prospective investors would need to weigh demand for high-value bungalows in this area, rental demand at this price point, holding costs and the potential resale pool.
