Development history

Johor Jaya was developed by Housing Developer Daiman Development Berhad, [3] a subsidiary of Daiman Group. Construction and development works started in 1983. [4] The first phase of development focused mainly on the construction of single storey terrace houses. Construction of the houses completed in 1987, but residents were initially hesitant to move into their houses due to reports of house break-ins. [5] Daiman subsequently announced plans in January 1989 to develop the next 3 phases in Anggerik, Dedap and Teratai. Plans were made to build single and double storey terrace houses, shophouses and a sports complex. [6] Development of these 3 phases completed by 1992, and there were some 11,132 residential houses built by then. The then-general manager of Daiman Group, Tan Yeong Kan quoted that the completion of the development phases were fuelled by their company's cash surpluses with no borrowings. Development of the Keembong and Seroja phases followed suit between 1992 and 1993. [7] The development of the final phase of Johor Jaya around Jalan Rosemerah Utama began in the mid-1990s and concluded with the construction of build-to-order bungalows in the area to the west of the Daiman Golf Course in 1998. [8]

The Family Food Centre was built in 2004 along Jalan Dedap 14 serving various type of common Malay cuisine. A new neighbouring megamall, ÆON Tebrau City, was built in 2005 along Tebrau Highway. Other neighbouring hypermarkets include Giant in Plentong and ÆON Big along Tebrau Highway, just south of ÆON. The At-Taqwa Mosque, which was built in 2009, is located along Jalan Dedap 10. Johor Jaya new police station is in Rosmerah. There is also a Hindu Temple located beside the police station.

In recent real estate developments, as of June 2022 to July 2023, the median price for residential properties in Johor Jaya was RM430,000, [9] with a price per square foot of RM311.84, based on 221 transactions.
