Imagine stepping out of your home and onto a train within minutes, no daily gridlock, just seamless city living. Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs) are reshaping how Malaysians live, work, and travel. Welcome to the future of real estate: fast, smart, and right by the station.
For a growing wave of urban Malaysians, convenience and connectivity now top the checklist. 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, setting a new benchmark for transit-oriented living in the heart of Shah Alam.
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.
Eric Chew, Chief Operating Officer, Project, at Setia Awan Group, said, “We’re seeing a clear lifestyle transition in how Malaysians choose their homes. Buyers today want to live smarter with connectivity, convenience, and community built into their daily lives. Astrum Shah Alam’s success reflects that new urban mindset, where living close to transit isn’t just practical, it’s aspirational.”
Citywide convenience
Located merely 100 metres from the Dato’ Menteri LRT3 Station, the development places residents at the centre of Shah Alam’s administrative and commercial heart, surrounded by government offices, universities, hospitals, and event venues.
The LRT3 line connects directly to Kuala Lumpur’s major landmarks, including KLCC, TRX, and KL Sentral, while highways such as Federal, KESAS, NKVE, and ELITE add seamless road connectivity.
Modern living at its best
Beyond connectivity, Astrum Shah Alam blends accessibility with comfort, offering a vibrant lifestyle ecosystem. More than 50 amenities include a co-working lounge, 50-metre lap pool, outdoor cinema wall, Zen Garden, futsal court, and the 14th Avenue retail boulevard, where residents can shop, dine, and access essential services.
At its core, Astrum Shah Alam remains focused on practical, modern living. All units across its three towers, Metro, Horizon, and Apex, are intelligently planned for flexibility, featuring a minimum of two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with layouts ranging from 570 sq ft to 1,065 sq ft.
A Growing Community, A Shared Future
In commemorating the milestone, Setia Awan hosted a Japanese-themed celebration at the Sena Residences Sales Gallery, where homeowners, partners and families gathered for some fun, food, and community activities.
The lively turnout reflected growing excitement not only around Astrum Shah Alam, but also its upcoming neighbouring project, Sena Residences, which is slated for official launch by year's end.
“Astrum Shah Alam demonstrates that well-planned TODs don’t just provide access, they add value to how people live and interact. We’re proud to be among the first to bring this concept to Section 14 at an attainable price point, and we’re confident it will spark neighbourhood growth and redefine how Shah Alam residents experience city life,” added Chew.
With Sena Residences next in line, Setia Awan aims to deepen its footprint in connected, accessible living, continuing Shah Alam’s rise as a hub for walkable, rail-linked communities.
