Four zones. Six factors. No single hype ranking.
Choose the location that fits the buyer objective and downside tolerance.
The JPI Zone Score is an editorial screening tool—not a valuation. Every score is visible, weighted and reduced by risk penalties before a project is considered.
Current zone screens as of 17 July 2026.
Ratings use a 1–5 evidence scale. Exact project price, density and tenure can move a score materially.

What each zone is trying to solve.
| Zone | Demand driver | Best fit | Main risk | Evidence required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JB Town / CIQ | Cross-border mobility and city access | Convenience-led rental strategy | Density and price premium | Walking route, competing completions, resale PSF |
| Iskandar Puteri | Employment, education and family utility | Larger layouts and long holding | Uneven precinct performance | Precinct transactions, tenant source, delivery pipeline |
| Mount Austin | Local lifestyle and service demand | Mid-budget cashflow | Access friction and building variation | Actual achieved rent, parking, management quality |
| Bukit Indah | Family living and established amenities | Defensive owner-occupier demand | Slower headline catalyst | Family resale depth, tenure, maintenance condition |
How the 100-point score is calculated
Weights: demand depth 25, entry value 20, net-yield resilience 20, supply resilience 15, connectivity 10 and exit liquidity 10. Penalties of 0–10 points cover unverified tenure, extreme density, concentrated completion timing or a large developer-to-resale price gap.
Interpretation: 75–100 strong screen; 65–74 selective; 55–64 evidence gap; below 55 high caution. A zone score never overrides a negative project cashflow or legal issue.
