Seri Baiduri Apartments at Setia Alam, emerged as the most affordable housing project that provides the best possible lifestyle and project quality for projects priced below RM500,000.
Despite its value for money offering, it does not fall short of quality and aesthetics.

Every unit in the gated and guarded apartment project with 24-hour security comes with two parking lots, and residents have access to a multipurpose hall, futsal court, playground, badminton courts, swimming pool and other facilities.
Also located in Setia Alam, S P Setia’s Corporate Headquarters in Setia City, represents the core of S P Setia and underscores its expertise and experience of building and delivering green townships and projects.

Strategically located in the pulse of the 4,000 acres Setia Alam township, it is an office tower conceptualised based on a need to provide a better and more sustainable work environment for Team Setia.
It occupies three acres of commercial land fronting Persiaran Setia Alam, the main artery through Setia Alam, linking the North Klang Valley Expressway with Jalan Meru in Klang.
The building is a Grade A corporate office comprising a nine-storey main tower and four-storey annexe block and a net floor area of about 14,000 sq m.
Designed to be highly sustainable, it is not only green but also incorporates the Setia LiveLearnWorkPlay development philosophy into its every aspect.
The architecture and design of the Setia Corporate HQ incorporates green and sustainable features wherever possible, including the interior to reduce carbon footprint or increase energy efficiency.
“We are truly honoured to emerge as the biggest winner of the evening as Team Setia has diligently put in their best efforts to strive for excellence over the years and winning these awards are great recognitions of the hard work and dedication displayed by the team. It will motivate us to strive for greater achievements in the coming days. - S P Setia executive vice president Datuk Koe Peng Kang
Exuberant neighbourhood
S P Setia has been building green townships as far back as 1997 with Setia Indah in Johor.
It then took bigger, bolder steps in embracing eco-concepts and sustainability in townships like Setia Alam and Setia Eco Park, Malaysia’s first eco-themed township.
The 791 acres Setia Eco Park showcases S P Setia’s commitment to build eco-friendly and sustainable communities based on its development philosophy of LiveLearnWorkPlay.
Being the first eco-themed township, Setia Eco Park is built within a holistic and sustainable environment where families and communities can thrive.
The five crucial elements of security, amenities, connectivity, ambience and community have been well integrated into the township to deliver a seamless living experience for the residents.

Liveable spaces for the residents to live and grow in a balanced lifestyle are artfully master-planned into a holistic township while conserving and respecting the natural topography of its surrounding environment.
Thorough researches have been conducted to study the habitats of birds, fishes and butterflies, and great efforts and measures have been expended by S P Setia to promote the wild life sanctuary within Setia Eco Park.
Lush greenery occupies close to 25% of the 791 acres of prime freehold land that has been allocated for the creation of waterways, streams and landscaped parks within the development.
It is also surrounded by 48 acres of Forest Park within the development and neighboring 3,187 acres of Bukit Cherakah Forest Reserve which provides excellent green lung and fresh air for the development.
It is the epitome of communal living at its best, in a safe and secure environment.
Community facilities that consist of an exclusive residents’ clubhouse and the centrally located lifestyle business park provides every homeowner with the opportunity to enjoy recreational facilities and amenities right at their doorstep, further enhancing community relationship.
With the “borderless” concept where the gate of the residences is moved to the guardhouse, the residents are naturally edged into living harmoniously with their neighbours, developing social traits that promote an environment which is healthy to live in.
Definitely a well thought-out, properly developed and managed development, it is not surprising that Setia Eco Park is a much sought after address in the Klang Valley.
