Causewayz Square Completion Date and Construction Progress

The Causewayz Square completion date is one of the first things buyers ask about, and for good reason: it decides when you get your keys, when rental income can start, and how long your money is in construction. This guide pulls together every public milestone for Causewayz Square JB — the Exsim CIQ project on Jalan Lumba Kuda — from the piling contract to the main building award, shows where each phase stands in late 2026, and explains what each construction stage means for you as a buyer. For the full project overview, see our Causewayz Square project page.

When will Causewayz Square be completed?

Causewayz Square is targeted for completion around 2030, based on the developer’s published timeline and the contract schedule announced to Bursa Malaysia.

The main building contract runs for 34 months from a commencement date to be confirmed by the project architect. Because a large high-rise also needs time after structural works for finishes, testing, the Certificate of Completion and Compliance (CCC) and handover, a structural schedule of that length starting in 2026 fits comfortably with a target of around 2030. The delivery date that applies to your unit is the vacant possession period written into your Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA), so it is worth reading that clause carefully when you book.

Completion around 2030 also means Causewayz Square will be finished after the RTS Link opens. RTS Link passenger service is targeted for February 2027 (LTA and MOT, October 2026), so residents should move in with the cross-border rail link already running about 800 m away.

Causewayz Square construction timeline: key milestones

The project has moved from launch to piling to the award of its main building contract in about a year, which is a steady pace for a 4,525-unit development.

The main building award was the largest contract in Binastra’s history and lifted its order book to a record RM5.8 billion, according to NST. Binastra had previously secured several Johor Bahru contracts, so the contractor is familiar with large high-rise work in the city.

Construction progress in late 2026: where each phase stands

As of October 2026, all five phases of Causewayz Square are recorded at the piling and foundation stage, with substructure works underway on site — in other words, work below and around ground level that comes before the towers start to rise.

Construction records on myBina, last verified on 19 October 2026, list the five phases like this:

• Phase 1 — Podium and shops: a 14-storey podium car park with shoplots; piling and foundation works, substructure underway.
• Phase 2 — Axis tower (908 units): piling and foundation works; main contractor awarded.
• Phase 3 — Brixton tower (1,257 units): piling and foundation works.
• Phase 4 — Coven tower (833 units): piling and foundation works; not yet released for sale.
• Phase 5 — Dover tower (about 1,530 units): piling and foundation works.

The phase numbers describe how the construction package is organised; the developer sets the actual handover schedule for each tower. If the timing of a specific tower matters to you, ask about it before you book. Our Axis vs Brixton vs Dover comparison covers the differences between towers in more detail.

What happens next: the construction stages ahead

After piling and substructure, a high-rise like Causewayz Square typically moves through the podium, the tower superstructure, building services and finishes, and then certification and handover.

1. Piling and substructure (current stage): piles, pile caps, basement and ground-level structures. This is the least visible stage but one of the most important.
2. Podium construction: the multi-level podium carries parking, about 90,000 sq ft of retail and the Level 12 facilities deck with 29 facilities.
3. Tower superstructure: floors are cast one by one above the podium. This is when progress becomes visible from the Causeway and the city.
4. Walls, roofing and building services: brickwork, windows, mechanical and electrical works, plumbing, lifts and fire systems.
5. Finishes, external works and sky decks: interior finishes, the Axis Level 60 sky deck and the Brixton and Dover Level 57 sky gardens, landscaping, roads and drains.
6. Certification and vacant possession: the CCC is issued, keys are handed over, and the defect liability period begins.

How construction progress affects your payments

For a new launch in Malaysia, you usually pay in stages as construction progresses, so the progress of Causewayz Square directly shapes when your loan is drawn down and when interest starts.

Under progressive billing (the Schedule H framework for stratified developments), the developer bills a set percentage of the price as each construction stage is certified — foundations, structural frame, walls, roofing and services, and so on — with a final portion at vacant possession. Your bank releases the loan in the same stages, and you pay interest only on the amount released. During the current piling and foundation stage, only the early instalments are typically billed, so interest costs are modest in the first years and rise as the towers go up. For a full walk-through of the payment stages, see our guide to buying a new launch condo in JB.

After handover, a defect liability period of 24 months typically applies, during which the developer repairs reported defects.

How to track Causewayz Square progress yourself

The most reliable progress updates come from official billing notices and public filings, supported by what you can see on site.

• Developer progress billing: each billing is tied to an architect-certified stage, so your billing letters are the clearest record of progress for your tower.
• Bursa Malaysia filings: contractors such as Binastra announce major contract awards, which mark the big transitions.
• Construction databases: sites such as myBina record the current stage of each phase.
• Site visits and photos: the site on Jalan Lumba Kuda is visible from the Causeway approach and Bukit Chagar, and the towers will become easy to follow once superstructure works begin.
• Sales gallery updates: the EXSIM JB sales gallery can show site photos and the latest schedule.

What to expect at vacant possession and handover

Vacant possession is the day the developer hands you the keys. For Causewayz Square it is expected to follow certification of the building around the target completion of 2030, and it is also when the final part of the price falls due.

Handover at a large project is usually organised by tower and by appointment, so owners do not all collect keys on the same day. A typical handover involves these steps:

• Notice of vacant possession: the developer writes to you with the handover date and the final amounts due, including the first service charge and sinking fund contributions.
• Final payment and documents: your bank releases the last tranche of the loan, and you settle any balance not covered by the loan.
• Key collection and inspection: you receive the keys, access cards and parking details, and you can inspect the unit and report any defects in writing.
• Defect liability period: from vacant possession, reported defects are repaired by the developer during the defect liability period, typically 24 months.
• Utilities and management: you open electricity and water accounts and register with the building management.

Our forthcoming vacant possession checklist will cover the inspection in detail. In the meantime, WhatsApp us if you would like a reminder of what to bring on handover day.

Planning your move-in or rental around completion

The years before completion are a useful planning window, whether you will live in the unit or rent it out.

If you plan to live in Causewayz Square

• Think about your commute after 2027. With the RTS Link targeted to open in February 2027, you will have a few years of real experience of the crossing before you move in, which helps you plan work and school routines.
• Budget for furnishing early. Setting aside a monthly amount during construction spreads the cost.
• Keep your floor plan to hand. Measuring for built-in wardrobes and kitchen fittings in advance makes the first months smoother.

If you plan to rent it out

• Watch the rental market near the RTS station. Completed neighbours such as R&F Princess Cove, TriTower Residence and Twin Tower Residence give a live picture of rents; our JB condo rental price guide tracks them.
• Decide between long-term and short-stay. Axis is planned to have a hospitality operator, while Brixton and Dover suit longer-term tenants.
• Plan for a furnishing period. Most rentals near the CIQ are furnished, so allow a few weeks after handover to fit out before the first tenant moves in.

Why the timeline works for buyers

A target completion around 2030 lines up well with the transformation around Bukit Chagar: the RTS Link is targeted to open in February 2027, and Causewayz Square should be completed with the rail link already running.

For investors, a longer construction period means a smaller share of the price is drawn down in the early years, while the area around the JB CIQ and the RTS station continues to develop. For own-stay buyers, it allows time to plan a move, save for furnishing and see the neighbourhood mature. The developer has also proposed a pedestrian link bridge to the CIQ and RTS; it remains a proposal at this stage. If you prefer to buy something that is already completed and earning rent, our shortlist of condos near the JB RTS station covers completed options, and our Causewayz Square price guide explains how SPA prices and subsale asking prices compare.
