Sanubari Phase 1 vs Phase 2 Review 2026: Which Bandar Dato’ Onn Terrace Home Fits You Better?
Sanubari is a freehold double-storey terrace neighbourhood by JLand within Neighbourhood 13, Bandar Dato’ Onn, Johor Bahru.
Although Phase 1 and Phase 2 share the same township, greenery concept and smart-neighbourhood positioning, they offer different buyer advantages. Phase 1 focuses on earlier occupation with two 20’×70’ layouts, while Phase 2 offers three land sizes, a wider built-up range and more choices for different family needs.
This ENJ comparison reviews the two phases by completion timeline, unit supply, land size, built-up area, bedroom configuration, family practicality, availability and buyer suitability.
Phase 1 for Earlier Occupation; Phase 2 for More Layout Choice
Choose Phase 1 if your priority is an earlier move-in timeline, a consistent 20’×70’ land size and a four-bedroom, four-bathroom family layout.
Choose Phase 2 if you prefer more choices. Its three layouts range from the more manageable 20’×65’ Type A to the larger 22’×75’ Type C, with selected types offering 4+1 bedrooms.
There is no single better phase for every buyer. The practical choice depends on when you need the home, how much space your household requires and which released units remain available.
Do Not Compare Only by Phase Number
Phase 1 and Phase 2 contain different house types. Buyers should compare the actual selected lot, land size, built-up area, room configuration, facing, current package and SPA delivery date rather than assuming every Sanubari home is the same.
Prices, incentives and released units can change. ENJ recommends requesting a dated price list and availability check before deciding.

Phase 1 vs Phase 2 Supply — 336 Homes Across the First Two Phases
E&J REVIEW · ORIGINAL SUPPLY ANALYSISPhase 1 Forms the Larger Share
Phase 1 accounts for approximately 62.8% of the 336 homes across these two phases.
Its larger original supply does not automatically mean more units are currently available because it is the earlier phase.
Phase 2 Is the Lower-Density Release
Phase 2 contains 125 homes, or approximately 37.2% of the combined Phase 1 and Phase 2 supply.
Within Phase 2, the wider 22’×75’ Type C is particularly limited at only 15 units.
Layout Comparison — Five House Types Across Two Phases
E&J REVIEW · LAYOUT ANALYSIS| Phase / Type | Land Size | Built-Up Reference | Bedrooms / Bathrooms | Units | Buyer Match |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 Type A | 20’×70’ | Approx. 2,052.56 sqft | 4 / 4 | Part of 211 homes | Families wanting practical space and earlier occupation |
| Phase 1 Type B | 20’×70’ | Approx. 2,112 sqft | 4 / 4 | Part of 211 homes | Buyers wanting slightly more internal space |
| Phase 2 Type A | 20’×65’ | Approx. 1,901–2,006 sqft* | 4 / 3 | 55 | Small to medium families wanting a manageable home |
| Phase 2 Type B | 20’×75’ | Approx. 2,264–2,352 sqft* | 4+1 / 4 | 55 | Larger or multi-generational families |
| Phase 2 Type C | 22’×75’ | Approx. 2,337–2,406 sqft* | 4+1 / 4 | 15 | Buyers prioritising wider frontage and maximum space |
Phase 1: Consistent Mid-Sized Family Format
Both Phase 1 types use a 20’×70’ land size and provide four bedrooms with four bathrooms.
The choice is simpler: buyers mainly compare the two internal layouts, selected lot and facing.
Phase 2: Wider Space Range
Phase 2 begins with a compact 20’×65’ option and extends to a wider 22’×75’ home.
This creates clearer choices for different budgets, household sizes and multi-generation needs.
Phase 2 Type A Has One Fewer Bathroom
Type A provides four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Buyers who want an attached or nearby bathroom for every bedroom should compare its plan carefully with Phase 1.
Phase 2 Type C Is Scarce
Only 15 Type C homes are included in Phase 2. Buyers wanting a 22-foot frontage should check live availability early instead of relying on the original site plan.
Completion Timeline — How Much Does One Year Matter?
E&J REVIEW · OWN-STAY TIMINGPhase 1: Better for Earlier Move-In Planning
Phase 1 is positioned for 2026 key collection, making it more relevant to buyers who need to plan renovation, relocation or their own stay sooner.
Phase 2: More Time Before Handover
Phase 2 is positioned for 2027 key handover. The extra waiting period may suit buyers who prefer more time for progressive payments and financial planning.
An earlier handover is useful only when the available unit fits your needs. A buyer should not choose Phase 1 purely to save time if a Phase 2 Type B or Type C provides the family space required for the next decade.
Location Review — Both Phases Share the Bandar Dato’ Onn Advantage
E&J REVIEW · LOCATION ANALYSISBoth phases sit within the same wider Sanubari neighbourhood in Bandar Dato’ Onn, so the location comparison is less important than the layout and completion comparison.

β Phase 2 Strengths
Three land sizes

4+1-bedroom choices
Useful for a study, helper room, guest room or multi-generation planning.
Only 125 homes
A smaller phase with a more limited total release.
β Phase 1 Considerations
Current choice may be limited because Phase 1 is the earlier phase.
Buyers should check whether released units are open to their buyer category and confirm the actual package.
There is no wider 22-foot standard type within the published Phase 1 layout information.
β Phase 2 Considerations
Handover is later than Phase 1.
Type A is smaller and has three bathrooms rather than four.
The larger Type B and Type C may require a higher purchase budget; request a current unit-by-unit price comparison.
