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.
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.
The residential development in Setia Alam was marketed with the following features:
The current development and launches are focused on Precinct 6, 7 and 8, which are located at the south of Setia Alam.
Precinct 6 consists of residential development with a gated and guarded facilities.
Precinct 7 is between Precinct 6 and 8. Precinct 7 consists of mixed residential development. The Setia Alam Welcome Center, which hosts the show units, sales office, and customer service center is located here.
Precinct 8 is on south west of Setia Alam, located near commercial developments such as Tesco, Setia Eramas and Setia Avenue.
