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.

Since 2009, Setia Alam and Setia Eco Park have become one of the most sought after residential areas in the Klang Valley. The properties' price here have climbed and comparable with some high-end areas in Damansara, Petaling Jaya and Subang Jaya.[1]

Setia Eco Park is Malaysia's first eco township.[2] Other examples of eco townships in Malaysia are Ken Rimba and Cascadia in Johor Bharu.

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.
