This cache is located in a busy commercial area near restaurants, a popular mall, shops, offices, and services from salons to banks to motorbike sales. Jl. Harimau features a major concentration of clinics (many skin and orthopedic), and associated laboratories, training institutions, and shops in a 140m row of four-storey terrace buildings just to the west of the cache. A highrise hotel towers over the clinics at the top of the hill, and the clinics face onto two hectares of SAJ water towers and green space which seems out of place in such a valuable area for real estate development. (Ranhill SAJ Sdn Bhd is a privately owned water utility company incorporated in 1994 which is responsible for water supply services in Johor.) Rounding out the varied mix of land uses in this inner part of Jl. Harimau is a cluster of banks on the corner and a petrol station across the road from the cache.
Unusually for the inner area, pretty much all of the buildings within a 250m radius of the cache were already built in the early 2000s, with nothing newly build in the last 20 years. One of the results is that the space around the buildings is quite porous, with pedestrian pathways past the clinics for example and into the surrounding areas. This contrasts with the highrises along Jl. Dato Abdullah Tahir to the south which are walled off from the surrounding neighbourhoods and prevent pedestrian access.
The striking mix of uses in the wider Sri Tebrau area, some daytime and some night-time oriented (especially the restaurants), and the high traffic volumes here along Jalan Tebrau into downtown Johor Bahru ensure that there are usually people around at any time of the day or night, but all are just passing by except for the sometimes-curious (hence discretion is required) petrol station attendants across the road.
