Housing development in Setia Alam, Shah Alam

Setia Alam is an integrated development spanning over 2,500 acres (10 km²) of land. It falls under the jurisdiction of the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) which had placed restrictions on the establishment of entertainment outlets such as cinemas or live music venues.

Setia Alam is represented in the Parliament by the Member of Parliament for Shah Alam, Khalid bin Abd Samad and State Assemblyman for Kota Anggrik Yaakob Sapari.

History

This township was opened on 2003 by SP Setia Berhad. It was formerly known as North Hummock Estate, which was owned by the family controlling the See Hoy Chan Group. However, instead of developing the land into a residential township, the group sold the land to SP Setia.

The area consists of 2 major developments marketed as Setia Eco Park (Fully Gated and Guarded luxury Semi-D and Bangalow development) and Setia Alam (mixed residential and commercial development). The township has won several awards including the World's Best Master Plan Development for Setia Eco Park in FIABCI International Prix d'Excellence Award 2007.

Known Issues

Despite its award-winning developer and plans, Setia Alam is also known to suffer from soil settlement. Houses in one of its areas, Setia Impian 5, have earlier been reported to be affected by the soil settlement. Walls were cracked and leaning by more than 15 degrees. The developer took responsibility by re-building the walls out of goodwill.
