Gen Sphere: the monthly bill, line by line

The starting-price unit at Gen Sphere is RM 609,000. Borrow 90% of it, RM 548,100, over 35 years at 4% (an example rate) and the instalment comes to about RM 2,427 a month. The maintenance fee, assessment tax and quit rent come on top once each is billed.

Tell me the unit you have in mind on WhatsApp, +60 17-279 8932, and I will work out its own figures.

4% is an example rate, not a bank's quote, and the price you sign depends on the unit and the floor. For another loan amount, scale it with the table further down.

The example, line by line

ItemPer monthHow it is worked out
Loan instalmentRM 2,42790% of RM 609,000, 35 years, 4% a year
Assessment taxBilled twice a yearLocal council: annual value × rate
Quit rentBilled once a yearDue 1 January
Each month, before the two taxesRM 2,427Instalment only

How the instalment is worked out

Instalment = loan × r × (1 + r)n ÷ [(1 + r)n − 1], where r is the yearly rate divided by 12 and n is the number of months: 420 for 35 years.

New floating-rate home loans are priced as the Standardised Base Rate (SBR) plus the bank's own spread, and the SBR follows Bank Negara's Overnight Policy Rate, 2.75% since 9 July 2025. So 4% is an example, not a quote. On the RM 548,100 loan above, 4.5% instead of 4% adds about RM 167 a month, and 30 years instead of 35 adds about RM 190. A third or later home loan in your own name is capped at 70% of the property's value.

Every RM 100,000 borrowed4.0%4.5%5.0%
35 yearsRM 443RM 473RM 505
30 yearsRM 477RM 507RM 537

To use it, multiply by your loan in hundreds of thousands: RM 450,000 at 4% over 35 years is 4.5 × RM 443, about RM 1,994 a month.

Foreign buyers

Johor's line for a foreign buyer is RM 1,000,000. Gen Sphere runs from RM 609,000 to RM 1,120,000, so the units at RM 1,000,000 or more clear it the usual way. Each purchase needs State Authority approval. Under RM 1,000,000 there is a second route: with State Authority approval, the developer may sell these commercial-title serviced apartments to a foreigner directly, for a state levy of at least RM 50,000 plus RM 2,000 per title to apply. A resale purchase cannot use it.
