History

This RM 20 billion township was launched in 2004 by SP Setia Berhad. It was formerly known as North Hummock Estate, which was owned by the family-controlled 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 a few major developments marketed as Setia Alam (a 2,525-acre integrated township with mixed residential and commercial development), Setia Eco Park (791 acres of fully gated and guarded luxury semi-dee and bungalow development and is Malaysia's first eco township), Setia City (a 240-acre integrated green city centre development), Alam Nusantara by PKNS and Anjung Sari by Sazean Group. Both Alam Nusantara's and Anjung Sari's lands (total about 600 acres were sold by SP Setia to PKNS as parts of SP Setia's strategies to develop the bigger Setia Alam development. SP Setia's Setia Alam and Setia Eco Park townships have won several awards including the World's Best Master Plan Development for Setia Eco Park in FIABCI International Prix d'Excellence Award 2007 held in Barcelona, Spain. In 2013, Setia Alam won the World's Best Master Plan Development in FIABCI, held in Taichung, Taiwan.

Since 2009, Setia Alam and Setia Eco Park have become one of the most sought after residential townships in the Klang Valley. The properties' price have appreciated and comparable to some upmarket areas in Damansara, Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur.[1]
