Twin Tower Residence and Causewayz Square are both freehold homes in JB City Centre within walking distance of the RTS Link and the CIQ. Twin Tower Residence, by Parasky Projects (SKS Group), was completed in 2023: two 41-storey towers with 458 units from 599 to 1,216 sq ft, about 700 m from RTS Bukit Chagar, with studio rents of about RM2,600–3,000 a month. Causewayz Square, by EXSIM, is a 4,525-unit, up-to-63-storey development about 600 m from the CIQ and 800 m from the RTS, with dual-key layouts, 29 podium facilities, a sky deck and a retail podium, targeting completion around 2030.
Twin Tower Residence JB is one of the newest completed condos in the Bukit Chagar corridor, so it is a natural comparison for anyone weighing a ready home against a new launch. Causewayz Square, which many buyers search for as “Exsim CIQ” or “Causeway Square JB”, is the largest new freehold project in the same area. In this guide we compare Twin Tower Residence and Causewayz Square on what matters for a near-Causeway home: how new the building is, layouts, facilities, the walk to the RTS and CIQ, rents, asking prices and timing. Both are strong options; they simply sit at different points on the timeline.

How new is each building, and why does it matter?
Twin Tower Residence is only about three years old, so it offers a modern finish without the wait; Causewayz Square will be brand new at handover around 2030.
In the Bukit Chagar area, many well-known condos were completed between 2017 and 2018. Twin Tower Residence, completed in 2023, is one of the more recent additions, which shows in its fittings and common areas. For tenants who compare several buildings in one afternoon, a newer lobby and well-kept facilities are a real advantage.
Causewayz Square takes that a step further: when its towers are handed over, they will be the newest homes in the CIQ corridor, with a facility deck designed from scratch for a large community. Construction is underway; piling began in September 2025 and the main building contract, awarded in January 2026, runs over five phases. See our Causewayz Square completion date guide for the timeline.
Layouts: generous studios and family units vs compact and dual-key options
Twin Tower Residence offers roomy layouts, especially its 599 sq ft studio; Causewayz Square offers more layout types at smaller sizes, including dual-key units.
Twin Tower Residence
The 599 sq ft studio at Twin Tower Residence is larger than many studios in the city centre, which makes it comfortable for a single professional or couple. The 882 sq ft 2-bed and 1,054 sq ft 2-bed with study suit small families and remote workers, and the 1,216 sq ft 3-bed is a true family home.
Causewayz Square
Causewayz Square starts smaller and adds flexibility. Alongside a studio, a 474 sq ft 1-bed and a 667 sq ft 2-bed, it offers a 592 sq ft dual-key unit and an 850 sq ft 3-bed dual-key unit. A dual-key unit has two separate entrances within one title, so an owner can live in one part and rent the other, or rent both separately. Our dual-key guide explains how that works in practice.
| Buyer type | Twin Tower Residence pick | Causewayz Square pick |
|---|---|---|
| Single commuter | 599 sq ft studio | Studio or 474 sq ft 1-bed |
| Couple working from home | 1,054 sq ft 2-bed + study | 667 sq ft 2-bed |
| Family | 1,216 sq ft 3-bed | 850 sq ft 3-bed with 2 parking bays |
| Investor wanting two rents | Two separate units | 592 sq ft or 850 sq ft dual-key |
Facilities: a complete wellness set vs a resort-scale podium
Twin Tower Residence covers the essentials well, with a wellness tilt; Causewayz Square is planned around a much larger, resort-style facility deck.
Residents at Twin Tower Residence have a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a sauna and a steam room, a gym with cardio room, a jogging track and a barbecue area, with 24-hour security. The sauna and steam room are a nice touch that not every city-centre condo offers.
Causewayz Square is designed for a community of more than four thousand homes, and its facilities reflect that scale: 29 facilities on the Level 12 podium, including five themed pools, a spa, fitness studio, yoga deck, basketball court, multipurpose hall for pickleball and badminton, trampoline area and children’s playground. Axis residents get a Level 60 sky deck with an infinity pool, jacuzzi lounge and sky BBQ deck, while Brixton and Dover have Level 57 sky gardens. A retail podium of about 90,000 sq ft sits below. The full list is in our Causewayz Square facilities guide.
Getting to Singapore: RTS Link and CIQ access compared
Both are walkable to the RTS; Twin Tower Residence is slightly closer to the station, while Causewayz Square is closer to the CIQ.
Twin Tower Residence is about 700 m from RTS Bukit Chagar, and Causewayz Square about 800 m, so the walk to the train is similar, at roughly ten minutes. The RTS Link is targeted to start passenger service in February 2027, with a crossing of about five minutes to Woodlands North and co-located customs at both ends, so you clear immigration once.
Causewayz Square’s extra strength is the CIQ: at about 600 m, residents can choose between the train and the bus or Causeway crossing, and the developer has proposed a pedestrian link bridge towards the CIQ and RTS. For the full commute picture, see our guide to commuting from JB to Singapore.
Rents and asking prices
Twin Tower Residence has active rental demand now, with asking rents among the higher end of the corridor; Causewayz Square has no completed units yet, so its rental story starts after handover.
| Measure | Twin Tower Residence | Causewayz Square |
|---|---|---|
| Asking rent, studio | About RM2,600–3,000 / month | Not yet available (under construction) |
| Asking rent, 2-bed | About RM3,300–3,600 / month | Not yet available |
| Asking rent, 3-bed | About RM3,500–3,700 / month | Not yet available |
| Asking price psf (portal) | About RM1,329–1,537 (Sep 2025 listings) | About RM1,232–1,465 (assignment listings, Jun 2026) |
| Developer price | Completed; subsale only | WhatsApp us for the latest SPA price list |
All figures are asking prices or asking rents from portals and rental sites, not transaction data. Two observations stand out. Twin Tower Residence rents show how strongly tenants value a near-new building close to the RTS. And Causewayz Square’s assignment asking prices sit in a similar psf band to Twin Tower Residence, while offering smaller layouts and therefore lower total entry sizes. For broader benchmarks, see JB condo rental prices near RTS and CIQ.
Paying for each: ready home vs progressive payments
A Twin Tower Residence purchase is a subsale with a full loan from completion; a Causewayz Square purchase follows progressive payments during construction.
Buying a completed unit means paying the deposit and downpayment, then servicing the full loan once the sale completes, while collecting rent from the start. Buying a new launch means the bank releases the loan stage by stage as the building rises, so in the early years you pay interest only on the amount released. Our step-by-step guide to buying a new launch in JB explains the stages.
The developers behind each project
Both projects come from developers with completed buildings you can see for yourself.
Twin Tower Residence was developed by Parasky Projects, part of SKS Group, one of the most familiar names in JB City Centre. SKS is also behind TriTower Residence and SKS Pavillion near Bukit Chagar, and SKS Habitat near Kebun Teh, so buyers can judge its build quality and management across several occupied buildings.
EXSIM, founded in 2008, has delivered projects in Kuala Lumpur and Penang including The Treez, Twin Arkz, The Leafz, The Petalz, Millerz Square, Ceylonz Suites and 22 Macalisterz. It lists several FIABCI Malaysia awards and a FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence in 2023 for a residential high-rise, and its hospitality arm, Exsim Hospitality Bhd, is listed on Bursa Malaysia. More in our EXSIM JB overview.
What both projects share
Before choosing, it helps to see how much the two have in common: freehold tenure, a walk to the RTS and CIQ, and a mature city-centre setting with JB Sentral, City Square, KOMTAR JBCC and R&F Mall nearby. Freehold tenure tends to reassure both buyers and banks at resale, and walkable access to the Causeway crossing serves the steadiest tenant group in JB: people who work in Singapore. Whichever you pick, you are buying into the core of JB City Centre; the real decision is timing and product type. Our article on freehold at Causewayz Square explains why tenure matters here.
Questions to ask on a viewing
- Twin Tower Residence: What are the maintenance and sinking fund charges? Which way does the unit face? Is it being sold with a tenant? Are parking bays allocated?
- Causewayz Square: Which tower and floor band? Is a dual-key option available for your budget? What is the progressive payment schedule and current construction stage?
- Both: What is the actual walking route to the RTS entrance, and how much of it is sheltered?
