How the RTS Link Will Transform Johor Bahru – And Why It's a Golden Opportunity for Interior Design

The highly anticipated Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link connecting Johor Bahru and Singapore is set to change the game — not only in transportation but also in real estate and interior design.

Slated to be completed in 2027, this cross-border rail link is more than just a faster commute; it will reshape Johor Bahru’s urban lifestyle and unlock enormous demand for quality interior spaces. At Tenft Design, we’re already seeing the wave — and we’re here to ride it with you.

What Is the RTS Link?

The RTS Link is a high-capacity rail system that will connect Bukit Chagar (JB) and Woodlands (Singapore) in just minutes. With a capacity of 10,000 passengers per hour in each direction, it will dramatically ease daily congestion and make living in JB more appealing than ever — especially for Singapore-based professionals.

Why Is the RTS a Big Deal for Interior Design in JB?

1. Property Boom = Renovation Boom

With the RTS opening soon, property investors are snapping up units in JB. This means:

• New homeowners seeking modern interiors

• Airbnb and rental units needing functional design

• Investors upgrading old properties for higher value

At Tenft Design, we’ve received an increasing number of inquiries from clients who are preparing to renovate or furnish properties along the RTS route.

2. Lifestyle Shift = Higher Design Expectations

As JB becomes more connected and urbanized, residents are expecting more from their living spaces:

• Smart space planning and storage

• Multi-functional furniture

• Stylish yet budget-friendly designs

• Popular styles like Muji, minimalist, Scandinavian

3. Rise in Commercial Interior Projects

The RTS will bring more foot traffic to Bukit Chagar and its surrounding business hubs. Entrepreneurs are preparing:

• Cafés and retail shops

• Boutique offices and co-working spaces

• Short-term rentals with eye-catching interiors

This means more commercial renovation opportunities where branding and design go hand in hand.
