Causewayz Square Type D 2-Bedroom (667 sq ft): Layout, Rent and Who It Suits

“We need two bedrooms, but do we really need 900 sq ft?” For many small families and pairs of professionals looking near the Causeway, the honest answer is no. What they need is two proper bedrooms, two bathrooms so mornings are not a queue, and a walk to the CIQ. The Causewayz Square Type D 2-bedroom is designed for that household.

This guide looks at Type D in depth: how the 667 sq ft is laid out, the D1 and D2 variants, who it suits, what the latest rent data near the CIQ and RTS says for a 2-bedroom, a furnishing plan for families and for sharers, and how it compares with the 1-bedroom and 3-bedroom. For all layouts side by side, start with our Causewayz Square floor plan guide.

What is the Causewayz Square Type D 2-bedroom?

Type D is the 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout of Causewayz Square: 667 sq ft, in the Brixton and Dover towers, with one parking bay, in two variants called D1 and D2.

Causewayz Square is EXSIM’s freehold serviced-apartment development about 600 m from the JB CIQ and about 800 m from the Bukit Chagar RTS Link station. Brixton and Dover hold the family-oriented layouts and share the Level 12 podium with 29 facilities plus their own Level 57 sky garden, herbs garden and BBQ deck.

Type D layout walk-through: two bedrooms in 667 sq ft

Type D fits two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open living-dining area and a kitchen into 667 sq ft, which is compact for a 2-bedroom but efficient when planned well.

Room sizes vary a little between stacks, so read the official plan for the exact unit you are offered. As a walk-through of how a 667 sq ft 2-bedroom of this kind typically works:

Living, dining and kitchen

The shared zone combines living, dining and kitchen. It is where a family eats together and where sharers meet, so it needs a dining table for four and a sofa that faces away from the kitchen traffic.

Master bedroom with bathroom

In 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom layouts of this size, one bathroom is commonly attached to the master bedroom and the other serves the second bedroom and guests. Confirm the arrangement for your variant on the plan; for sharers, it decides who gets the private bathroom and whether the rent split should differ.

Second bedroom

The second bedroom is the flexible room: a child’s room, a home office, a guest room for visiting parents, or a second tenant’s room. Check whether it can take a single bed plus a desk, or a queen bed.

D1 or D2?

Both variants are 667 sq ft with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The published plan shows a yard for D1, while D2 is listed as an alternative layout. Put the two plans side by side and ask yourself three questions: where will the washer and drying go, which room gets the better window, and how private is the second bathroom?

What this means for you: Type D gives a family or two sharers the essentials of a 2-bedroom home without paying for space they will not use. Choosing between D1 and D2 is mainly about how you do laundry and how you split privacy.

Who the Type D 2-bedroom suits

Type D suits three groups best: young families, two working adults sharing, and owner-occupiers who want one flexible spare room.

Young families

A couple with one young child can live comfortably in Type D, and the podium is a big part of the appeal: The Ocean Playground, the Trampoline Jump Oasis, Wavy Laguna Play and the Coral Shallow Pool are all on Level 12. One parking bay works if one parent commutes by RTS once it opens; RTS Link passenger service is targeted for February 2027, according to the LTA–MOT announcement in October 2026. Use our JB amenities map to check schools, clinics and supermarkets around the site.

Two working adults sharing

For two friends or colleagues who both cross the Causeway, Type D is the most cost-efficient layout. Two bathrooms remove the morning queue, which matters when both people need to clear the CIQ at the same time.

Worked example: at the Q4 2026 median, a completed 2-bedroom near the CIQ is advertised at RM2,800 a month, or RM1,400 per person when shared. A completed studio or 1-bedroom is advertised at a median RM2,100 for one person. Sharing a 2-bedroom can therefore cost each person about RM700 a month less than renting alone, which is why investors see steady demand from sharers.

Owner-occupiers who want a spare room

Many buyers simply want a second room: a proper home office for hybrid work, or a guest room for parents visiting from elsewhere in Malaysia or abroad. Type D gives you that without stepping up to a 3-bedroom.

Type D rent: what a 2-bedroom near the CIQ earns today

Completed 2-bedroom units in the RTS / CIQ core had a median asking rent of RM2,800 a month and about RM3.53 per sq ft in November 2026, based on 82 listings.

The figures below are from our JB RTS and CIQ Rent Index, Q4 2026. Most completed 2-bedroom units nearby are larger than 667 sq ft (Twin Tower Residence adverts, for example, mostly describe 882 sq ft units), so rent per square foot is the fairer way to compare.

Two patterns are useful. First, the newest building in the set, Twin Tower Residence (completed 2023), achieved the highest 2-bedroom rent, which suggests tenants pay for new stock with an easy walk to the CIQ. Second, smaller units earn more per square foot, so a compact 2-bedroom can be efficient for an investor. At RM2,300–2,600 a month, annual gross rent would be RM27,600–31,200. Divide by your SPA price and deduct running costs in our JB property calculator to see the net picture. These are today’s asking rents for completed buildings, not a forecast.

Furnishing plan for a 667 sq ft 2-bedroom

Furnish Type D for whoever will live there: durable and child-friendly for a family, symmetrical and lockable for sharers.

Where adverts near the CIQ state furnishing, most units are let fully furnished. Our guide to furnishing a rental unit in JB covers budgets in more detail.

For a young family

• Extendable dining table for four to six, so grandparents can join at weekends.
• Second bedroom as a child’s room with a single bed, wardrobe and study desk that will grow with the child.
• Washable sofa fabric, rounded furniture corners and blinds without loose cords.
• Maximise kitchen and entrance storage for prams, school bags and groceries.

For two sharers

• Furnish both bedrooms to a similar standard (bed, wardrobe, desk, air-conditioning) so neither feels like the “small room”.
• Fit locks on bedroom doors and provide good Wi-Fi coverage in both rooms.
• Choose a larger fridge and plenty of kitchen shelving for two households’ groceries.
• If one bedroom has the attached bathroom, consider pricing the two rooms differently.

Rental strategy: family tenant or two sharers?

If you buy Type D to rent out, decide the target tenant first, because it shapes furnishing, pricing and management.

• A small family: tends to stay longer and look after the unit, and values safety, children’s facilities, nearby schools and the parking bay. Spend on kitchen and storage.
• Two sharers on one lease: can support a rent close to the area’s 2-bedroom median because each pays less than renting alone. They value two equal rooms, strong Wi-Fi and two usable bathrooms; write clear terms for early exit if one person changes jobs.
• Managed letting: if you live outside JB, a property manager can handle tenants, rent collection and repairs. Ask how fees are charged and what monthly reporting you get before signing.

Type D vs 1-bedroom vs 3-bedroom: pros and trade-offs

Choose Type D over the 1-bedroom when two adults need their own rooms or a child is on the way; choose the 3-bedroom over Type D if you need a third room or two parking bays.

The 1-bedroom has its own deep dive in our Causewayz Square Type C 1-bedroom guide.

But what if…? Common worries about the Type D 2-bedroom

The three questions families and sharers raise most are space, parking and timing.

“Is 667 sq ft enough for a family?”

For a couple with one young child, yes, especially with a full podium of children’s facilities downstairs. If you plan for two children or live-in help, look at the 850 sq ft Type E or the dual-key F1/F2 instead.

“We have two cars but only one bay.”

Type D comes with one bay. Many cross-border households near the CIQ manage with one car because one partner walks to the CIQ or, from 2027, to the RTS station. If two cars are essential, Types E and F come with two bays.

“Completion is around 2030. What happens until then?”

Construction is under way: Binastra began piling in September 2025 and was awarded a RM1.2 billion main building contract in January 2026, with completion of works set at 34 months from commencement. Payments follow progress billing, so you pay in stages as the building rises.

How to choose your Type D unit and next steps

Compare D1 and D2, then choose tower, floor and facing, and run your numbers before booking.

1. Variant: lay the D1 and D2 plans side by side and decide which suits your laundry and privacy needs.
2. Tower and floor: Brixton or Dover; higher floors sit closer to the Level 57 sky facilities.
3. Facing: ask which stacks face the Straits of Johor and which face the city.
4. Numbers: test the SPA price against a conservative rent in the calculator.
5. Documents: confirm the size, variant and parking bay in your SPA.
