Shah Alam, 6 December 2025 – Demand for transit-oriented developments (TODs) have been steadily rising across the Klang Valley, driven by a new generation of homebuyers seeking connectivity, convenience, and car-light living.
Reflecting this shift, Astrum Shah Alam, a mixed development project by Setia Awan Group, has achieved a 98% take-up rate within just one year of its launch. This milestone builds upon the success of Astrum Ampang — Setia Awan’s flagship transit-oriented development slated for early completion in Q1 2026 — reaffirming the Group’s growing expertise and leadership in TOD-driven projects.
The strong take-up underscores the statistically proven desire for public transport access and lifestyle-driven amenities – particularly among young working professionals, first-time homeowners and young families in urban communities.
Positioned just 100-metres from the Dato’ Menteri LRT3 station, Astrum Shah Alam is among the first to introduce a fully integrated, transit-linked residential concept within Section 14, Shah Alam’s administrative and commercial heart.
With its proximity to government offices, hospitals, universities, and major event venues, Astrum Shah Alam taps into a built-in community who prefer the ease of city-centre living with direct LRT access.
The LRT 3 line brings residents directly to Kuala Lumpur landmarks such as KLCC, TRX, and KL Sentral, while highway links include Federal, KESAS, NKVE, and ELITE.
“We’re seeing a clear lifestyle transition in how Malaysians choose their homes,” said Eric Chew, Chief Operating Officer, Project, at Setia Awan Group. “Buyers today want to live smarter – with connectivity, convenience and community built into their daily life. Astrum Shah Alam’s success reflects that new urban mindset, where living close to transit isn’t just practical — it’s aspirational.”
Blending accessibility and modern comfort, Astrum Shah Alam features over 50 lifestyle amenities, including a co-working lounge, 50-metre lap pool, outdoor cinema wall, Zen Garden, futsal court, and 14th Avenue, the retail boulevard offering dining, shopping, leisure and key services options.
At the heart of it, Astrum Shah Alam remains focused on practical living. Each unit across its three residential towers — Metro, Horizon, and Apex — is intelligently planned for flexibility and functionality, featuring a minimum of two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with layouts ranging from 570 sq ft to 1,065 sq ft.
To commemorate its milestone and achievement, Setia Awan recently hosted a Japanese-themed first anniversary celebration at the new Sena Residences Sales Gallery, welcoming homeowners, partners, and families to a day of cultural festivities and community activities.
The anniversary event drew an enthusiastic turnout from both existing homeowners and new visitors, who celebrated the development’s milestone with live performances, interactive games, and giveaways. Many guests also expressed keen interest in Setia Awan’s upcoming neighbouring project, Sena Residences, which is slated for official launch in December.
“Astrum Shah Alam demonstrates that well-planned TODs don’t just provide access — they add value to how people live and interact,” added Chew. “We’re proud to have been among the first to bring this concept right into Section 14 at an attainable price point, and we are confident this will be a catalyst for neighbourhood growth and how Shah Alam residents experience city life.”
Building on Astrum Shah Alam’s success and the positive reception at the anniversary celebration, Setia Awan is preparing to unveil the next phase of its TOD vision through Sena Residences — continuing its commitment to developing integrated, sustainable communities designed around connectivity, lifestyle, and accessibility.
