Astrum Residence @ Ampang is a major mixed-development project by Setia Awan Group, located in Jalan Jelatek / Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur. The development spans approximately 6.2-6.75 acres of leasehold land and comprises six towers (named A, S, T, R, U, M) with a total of 5,228 units including SoHo Transit homes, SoHo Suites, serviced apartments and a commercial / retail podium of 27 shops.

Units offered range from small studio / SoHo types (~280 sq ft) up to larger units (~1,030 sq ft for 3-bedroom + 2-bathroom) depending on the tower and layout. The pricing begins from about RM230,000 for some studio / SoHo units. The estimated completion of Astrum is in 2026.

One particularly attractive component is the Residensi Astrum Ampang PR1MA block (Tower A), which is under PR1MA’s LPHS scheme.

• • It offers 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom units (SoHo / apartment) with built-ups around 450 sq ft under the PR1MA portion.

• • These units are priced from RM250,000 under the PR1MA programme.

Astrum positions itself as a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD). The development is approximately 150 metres from Jelatek LRT Station, with a proposed covered pedestrian (link) bridge to connect residents directly. It has multiple major highway connections including AKLEH, DUKE, MRR2, Jalan Ampang, SPE etc.

Facilities are abundant — Astrum offers up to 62 indoor and outdoor facilities, including swimming pools, Jacuzzis, fitness halls, co-working spaces, yoga/dance studios, meditation / antioxidant rooms, gourmet kitchen, children’s playgrounds, games rooms, garden lounges, landscaped herb gardens, etc.

Astrum’s concept revolves around HOPSCA — standing for Hospitality, Office, Park, Shopping, Connectivity, Apartment — intended as a holistic, integrated live-work-play environment. The goal is to combine affordability with high lifestyle value, particularly appealing to young professionals and urban dwellers who seek connection to public transport, convenience, and amenities in a mature city setting.

Another key part of the concept is the “SoHo Transit” model — SoHo units designed to cater to flexible usage (home, work, or both), located near transit nodes to reduce dependence on cars and enhance walkability.  There’s also emphasis on technology, smart living, and community-oriented spaces.

1. Potential Traffic & Congestion – Given its central and well-connected location, road traffic, especially during peak hours, could be significant. Also, given many units, ingress/egress may be busy.
2. Higher Maintenance Costs for Certain Units – Premium facilities and high unit density often lead to higher maintenance fees. Some sources hint that upkeep and common area fees may be on the steeper side.
