Amora Park, Tampoi: where it is and what is around it

Where exactly is Amora Park?

Amora Park is in Tampoi, on the Jalan Tampoi corridor of Johor Bahru. Property portals list the site on Persiaran Aliff Harmoni Utama in Taman Damansara Aliff, postcode 81200, close to where Jalan Tampoi meets the Pasir Gudang Highway. The developer's own material names the area and the road corridor and gives no street number yet, which is normal for a project still being built.

From there the roads run four ways. Skudai is to the north-west, Larkin and the city centre to the south-east, Danga Bay to the south, and the Pasir Gudang Highway heads east towards Tebrau. Tampoi is an older, built-up part of town. The shops, workshops and schools are already there, so you are not waiting for a new township to fill in around you.

The masterplan in numbers

That is four plots adding up to 11.25 acres, set around a 15-acre park. The park is bigger than everything built around it, and for me that is the reason to look at this project at all. The residence is by Astaka Kimlun Sdn Bhd: Tower A at 48 floors and Tower B at 45, above podium parking, with a recreation deck on Level 10 and a target completion of 2030.

One caution. The wellness mall and the education hub are planned components, and no opening dates have been published for either. Buy for the park, the towers and what Tampoi already has. Treat the mall and the school as a bonus when they arrive.

Who is building Amora: Astaka and Kimlun

People search for "Astaka Amora", so here is the developer side. The project's own website carries "By Astaka Padu" in its title, and its factsheet names the developer as Astaka Kimlun Sdn Bhd. Astaka is the Johor Bahru group behind One Bukit Senyum. Kimlun Corporation Bhd is a Johor builder listed on Bursa Malaysia.

Astaka started in Johor Bahru in 1993 as Astaka Padu Sdn Bhd. Its parent, Astaka Holdings Limited, has been listed on the Singapore Exchange since 2015 under the code 42S. A listed parent has to publish its accounts and announce its deals, and that gives you something to read before you pay a booking fee.

From astaka.com.my, read on 10 October 2026. Dates are the group's own.

Amora is two towers of 48 and 45 floors with a 2030 target, so the question is whether this group finishes tall buildings. It has. The Astaka, which the group describes as the tallest residential twin towers in Southeast Asia, got its completion certificate in June 2018, five years after launch. The group also says it handed Menara MBJB to the city council a year ahead of schedule. Aliva Mount Austin is the one to watch next, because it is due by the end of 2026. If it is handed over on time, that tells you more than any brochure. The Astaka Kimlun developer guide has the full record and the RM450 million development value announced on 15 October 2026.

One thing to check for yourself. Astaka's corporate page says Astaka Kimlun Sdn Bhd came out of an agreement signed on 13 November 2024 with Kimlun Corporation Bhd, through Kimlun's subsidiary Kii Amber Sdn Bhd, and it describes that company's purpose as Arden @ One Bukit Senyum. The same page does not mention Amora or Tampoi yet. The Amora factsheet names the same company as developer. So at the gallery, ask to see the developer's licence and the advertising and sales permit for Amora Serviced Residence. Note both numbers and the company name printed on them, then check them with the National Housing Department, whose TEDUH portal is at teduh.kpkt.gov.my, or have your lawyer do it before you sign.

Distances the developer publishes

These figures are from the developer's location plan, checked on 3 October 2026. They are distances. The developer does not publish drive times, so I am not going to invent any. Jalan Tampoi and the Pasir Gudang Highway both get heavy at peak hours. Drive the route yourself at the hour you would really use it.

Singapore commuters and the RTS

The RTS Link runs from Bukit Chagar, next to the JB CIQ, to Woodlands North in Singapore. On 2 October 2026 the operator said passenger service is now expected in February 2027, a month later than planned. Amora Park is 8.5 km from that station on the developer's figures.

So this is a drive-to-the-station address. You will not walk to the train. If one person in the household crosses daily and the rest of the family lives, works and goes to school in JB, Tampoi is a fair middle point. If both of you cross every day and want to walk to the platform, look at the towers beside the CIQ instead.

Who this location suits

Families who want space. About three in four of the 617 homes are three-bedroom layouts of 990 or 1,015 sq ft, each with two parking bays. The 142 dual-key homes of 1,290 and 1,455 sq ft come with four bays, arranged as two tandem pairs. Parents can live in one half and a grown child or a tenant in the other. The six layouts are on the home page.

People who work on this side of town. Tampoi, Kempas, Skudai and Larkin are all close. Kempas Medical Centre is 5.1 km away and Hospital Sultanah Aminah 9.5 km, and once parents move in with you a hospital matters more than a mall.

A weaker fit for the Iskandar Puteri school run. Raffles American School is 16.2 km away and Marlborough College Malaysia 16.6 km. That is a long drive twice a day. Invictus International School, at 13.8 km, is the nearest on the developer's list.

Visiting the Amora Park property gallery

People search for the Amora Park sales gallery. The developer calls it the Amora Park Property Gallery, and its Facebook page lists opening hours of 9am to 8pm daily. Hours change around launches and public holidays, so check before you drive over.

I have not printed a street address because the developer has not put one on its own website. Send me a WhatsApp and I will share the map pin, book a slot and meet you there. Walk the show unit before you study any floor plan. It tells you more about room sizes than a drawing does.

What to check when you visit

• Stand on Jalan Tampoi at 8am and again at 6pm. Traffic at those hours is the real cost of this address.
• Ask which stacks face the park and which face the highway. Same floor plan, very different evenings.
• Ask for the latest timing on the wellness mall and the education hub. Get it in writing if it matters to your decision.
• Look at how tandem parking works for the dual-key and penthouse layouts. Four bays as two tandem pairs means one car is always parked behind another.
• Confirm the completion target. It is 2030, subject to the developer's confirmation.
• Ask for the developer's licence and the advertising and sales permit. Take a photo of both numbers and the company name on them.
• Final sizes, specifications and parking follow the Sale and Purchase Agreement for the unit you pick, so read that and not the brochure.

My take

Tampoi is not the fashionable address in JB, and that is partly why I like it for a family home. You get a freehold tower home beside a 15-acre park, 5.2 km from Paradigm Mall and 8.5 km from the checkpoint, in a part of town that already works. The price has to reflect that the RTS is a drive away. Tell me your layout and budget, and I will send the current price list and the latest unit information.
