Comparing the cheapest unit of each layout on the same floor, the gap is usually RM80,000 and sometimes RM75,000. Treat it as the shape of the difference rather than a figure to hold anyone to, and ask in chat for the two prices you are actually choosing between.
Type C is the lowest price per square foot still available in Tower A.
One thing to ask before you weigh any of it: the second bay may be a tandem, which is one space holding two cars nose to tail rather than two independent bays. Ask us which arrangement applies to the unit you are looking at.
Three rooms, and what people do with them
Two bedrooms is a couple. Three is a household, and households use the third room differently.
Two children, one room each, is the case a two-bedroom stops serving around the year the older one turns eleven.
One child and a grandparent staying for long stretches is another. Gleneagles is minutes away and the walk to the mall is flat.
One child and a room that is a study on weekdays and a guest room when family comes down from Singapore is another again.
We do not have buyer data for this project, so none of those is presented as the usual choice.
Type C has two bathrooms, not three. For four people that works. For five it means a queue on school mornings. If a third bathroom matters more to you than the difference in price, that is Type C1 at 1,012 sq ft, at RM610,000.
If the school run is what decides this
Most people looking at a three-bedroom in Medini are solving for a school, not a floor plan.
Two things worth carrying over from our schools comparison. Not every campus near Medini takes a child all the way to eighteen, so check the exit qualification before you check the commute. And the directories get fees wrong often enough that any number you did not get from the school itself should be treated as an estimate.
What a foreign buyer actually pays
Johor's floor for foreign buyers is RM1 million, and listings around Medini tend to hint at a way under it. What they drop is that nobody has produced a document naming a specific unit.
Here is the part they leave out.
Johor charges foreign purchasers a state consent fee. Under the Johor Land Rules amendment in force from 1 April 2026, a serviced apartment permitted to be sold below RM1,000,000 carries a minimum consent fee of RM50,000 per title, plus RM2,000 to lodge the application and a further fee, set by price, to register the transfer itself. Foreign buyers also pay stamp duty at 8 per cent.
- Consent fee (minimum applies).
- RM50,000.
- Application for consent.
- RM2,000.
- Registering the transfer.
- RM2,500.
- Stamp duty at 8% on RM512,000.
- RM40,960.
- Total, about 19% on top of price.
- RM95,460.
Budget for it before anything else.
One thing follows from how that fee is built. The RM50,000 is a floor, not a percentage, and across this project's price range the floor always binds. You pay the same RM50,000 on a 463 sq ft one-bedroom as on this three-bedroom. So if you are choosing between the two-bedroom and the three-bedroom, the gap after government cost is narrower than the sticker prices suggest: RM75,000 to RM80,000 more in price, but only RM6,000 to RM6,400 more in duty.
That is not a reason to buy bigger than you need. It is a reason to run the sum on both before you decide.
Handover is 2027 to 2028, and for a family that may be the point
- Target for the first phase. MGB, the listed main contractor.
- November 2027.
- Tower A, from the date of your SPA. The developer's sales kit.
- 24 months.
- The statutory estimate. KPKT advertising permit.
- August 2028.
Those are three different parties measuring from three different starting points, so treat the span, not any one date, as the answer.
Plan around a 2027 to 2028 handover.
If you are buying to let, that wait is a cost. If you are buying because a child starts school here, it is a runway. Put your own dates against those three and see whether they line up.
What it costs after you own it
- Type B · 753 sq ft.
- About RM265.
- Type C · 893 sq ft.
- About RM314.
- Type C1 · 1,012 sq ft.
- About RM356.
Maintenance is estimated at RM0.32 per sq ft a month plus a sinking fund of ten per cent of that. Those follow the developer's published rate; the final figure is set by the management body once it forms.
The land is held on a 99-year lease over the parcel, running from 28 December 2015. No current official source reviewed for this site confirms a general right or programme to convert Medini private leases into freehold, and the developer documents reviewed do not identify the registered proprietor of the underlying title. Ask the developer for written, property-specific confirmation and have your own lawyer read it.

( Questions )
Asked before, answered here
( 1 )Is there a three-bedroom apartment in Medini under RM550,000?
Yes. Type C at Bodaiju Residences is 893 sq ft with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, from RM512,000, which works out at RM573 per square foot. That is the lowest price per square foot still available in Tower A.
( 2 )How many bathrooms does the Bodaiju three-bedroom have?
Type C at Bodaiju Residences has two bathrooms across its three bedrooms. The layout with three bathrooms is Type C1, a 1,012 sq ft dual-key home with two entrances.
( 3 )How many car parks come with an 893 sq ft unit at Bodaiju?
Type C at Bodaiju Residences comes with two parking bays, or one tandem bay that holds two cars nose to tail. The developer's sales kit gives the Tower A provision as one bay each for Type A and Type B, two bays or one tandem for Type C, and two bays for Type C1. Which arrangement applies depends on the specific unit, so confirm it before signing.
( 4 )Can a Singaporean buy a three-bedroom in Medini, and what does it cost in fees?
Johor's floor for foreign buyers is RM1 million, and whether a particular unit sits below it is a question for the developer's solicitor, answered in writing before you commit. On top of the price a foreign buyer pays a state consent fee with a RM50,000 minimum for a serviced apartment sold below RM1,000,000, RM2,000 to lodge the application, RM2,500 to register the transfer, and stamp duty at 8 per cent. On RM512,000 that is about RM95,460, roughly 19 per cent. The schedule is published by PTG Johor at ptj.johor.gov.my.
( 5 )What is the monthly maintenance fee for an 893 sq ft unit at Bodaiju?
About RM314 a month. The developer's published rate is RM0.32 per square foot a month plus a sinking fund of ten per cent of the maintenance fee, which on 893 sq ft comes to roughly RM314. The final figure is set by the management body once it is formed.
( 6 )When will Bodaiju Residences Tower A be handed over?
Plan around 2027 to 2028. MGB Berhad, the listed main contractor, targets the first phase for November 2027. The developer's sales kit gives Tower A as 24 months from the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. The statutory estimate on the KPKT advertising permit is August 2028.
( 7 )Which international schools are near Bodaiju Residences?
Several international schools sit within a short drive of Medini, including campuses in Iskandar Puteri and Puteri Harbour. Fees, curriculum and the age a campus takes a child to vary widely, and published directory fees are often out of date, so check the exit qualification and the fee with the school itself. Bodaiju Residences maintains a verified comparison of the schools near Medini.
( 8 )Should I buy the three-bedroom or the dual-key at Bodaiju?
Type C, at 893 sq ft, is the family layout: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two parking bays, from RM512,000. Type C1, at 1,012 sq ft, is a dual-key home with two front doors and three bathrooms, which suits an owner who wants to live in one half and let the other, or who needs the third bathroom. Type C1 is RM610,000, which is RM98,000 more. Ask in chat what is available in each.
