WITH its fundamental principle of long-term sustainability and the ever-famous LiveLearnWorkPlay lifestyle, it was no surprise when S P Setia received two highly prestigious FIABCI Malaysia Property Awards.
The developer was triumphant in the Affordable Housing category with Seri Kasturi Apartment, Setia Alam.
Built on freehold land located in Precinct 15 along Jalan Setia Gemilang U13/45B in Bandar Setia Alam, Shah Alam, Selangor, the project has set a benchmark for affordable housing with its sophisticated architecture and design.
Redefining affordable housing
All the exterior elements from the overall scale and form to minute signage details communicate exclusivity and privilege, including a 24-hour guarded entrance.
With this, S P Setia’s mission to redefine public perception of affordable housing has been amplified for the benefit of society.
When it comes to simple but important amenities, such as parking, owners are not left wanting.
As Seri Kasturi Apartment sits on 16 acres, parking requirements are met entirely by surface car parks without needing expensive impersonal multi-storey structures.
Neighbourhood parking bays were created and evenly distributed around each block. This helps improve security and residents become familiar with those living at their block. Allocating two parking bays for each apartment has now become a necessity and duly carried out.
Other features include the Olympic-length swimming pool, clubhouse and other recreational facilities normally only available at condominiums.
The double-volume ceiling enhances the grand entrance of Seri Kasturi Apartment, Setia Alam.
The developer has also taken care to protect the site’s topography complete with hills, flatlands, waterways, forests and wetlands.
Seri Kasturi Apartment fulfils S P Setia’s mission to deliver the LiveLearnWorkPlay promise to people from all walks of life. Residents of the development report high levels of satisfaction and pride in their community.
Eco-consciousness and luxury
Another triumph for S P Setia came in the Master Plan Category for Setia Eco Glades.
This is a green integrated residential-cum-commercial township.
It is an embodiment of S P Setia’s unique expertise in combining luxury with eco-consciousness. Setia Eco Glades sits on 268 acres of freehold land and involves a gross development value of RM3bil.
It offers a luxury gated and guarded enclave consisting of high-rise condos, low-rise residences, super links, semi-detached units, bungalows and commercial lots.
A masterpiece of visionary planning and innovative design, Setia Eco Glades is further elevated by its location in Cyberjaya, Malaysia’s first Intelligent City.
A dedicated interchange ensures that Setia Eco Glades is connected to major highways including Maju Express Highway (MEX), North South Central-Link (ELITE), Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong Highway (LDP) and South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE) which makes travel more convenient and easily accessible to all residents.
The ecologically attuned Setia Eco Glades is an anthology of eight different heritage design concepts realised on eight islands with eight unique fountains located throughout as a tribute to the fluidity and necessity of water in everyday life.
Symbolic of prosperity and wealth, the fountains are also a source of relaxation.
Also hidden beneath the aesthetic triumph of Setia Eco Glades is a green heart that pulses with life-giving energy.
All homes and community facilities in Setia Eco Glades are GBI (Green Building Index) - certified to be sustainable with green features for a smaller carbon footprint.
As the original development site was home to an abundance of flora and fauna, the team enlisted the help of Forest Research Institute Malaysia, Malaysia Nature Society and Zoo Negara to safeguard local wildlife for relocation in the completed Setia Eco Glades.
A total of 1,545 trees were transplanted instead of being chopped, dumped and burnt.
Unique clubhouses
To promote a healthy lifestyle, each Hammock Club houses facilities including a swimming pool, gym, kids’ playground as well as social spaces.
Eponymous hammocks are also strung around the clubhouse.
Each unique in atmosphere and function, the small and intimate clubhouses conform to the eco-friendly and urban way of life as espoused by Setia Eco Glades.
This is a place where residents can get to know each other, build a common interest and create a shared sense of belonging.
This holds true to the aspirations of S P Setia to connect its communities, creating ecological features and sustainable living environments that enrich lives.
