e.Sentral SmartCity, Damansara West

In Seksyen U5, Shah Alam, Selangor, marketed as @Damansara West — the western edge of the Damansara belt, between the Guthrie Corridor Expressway and Jalan Lapangan Terbang Subang. Subang Airport is 2.6 km, HELP University 2.7 km, the Kwasa Sentral MRT station 3.3 km and Menara KWSP 3.9 km. The DASH, NKVE and SPRINT highways are all within reach, and the developer runs a shuttle and feeder bus service.

Two. The developer's own statutory block states two bays per unit, and that applies from the 554 sq.ft. layout upward. At this size that is unusual — most compact stock in this band allocates one bay — and for a two-car household it is often the detail that settles the decision.

Four apartment layouts. Types A and A2 are 554 sq.ft. with one-plus-one bedrooms, one bathroom and a study; Types A1 and A3 are the mirrored version of the same plan. Type B is 678 sq.ft. with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a balcony, and it is much the largest tranche at 440 of the 774 units. Type C is 815 sq.ft. with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a balcony, at 144 units. Separately there are LOSO commercial suites of 450, 505, 506 and 597 sq.ft.

The plan is identical; the legal basis is not. Types A and A1 — 155 units in total — are the development's affordable housing allocation, which carries the state authority's eligibility criteria and its own resale conditions. Types A2 and A3 are the same 554 sq.ft. layout sold on the open market, 35 units between them. I would rather you knew that from the page than from the booking form, so tell me which you are asking about and I will check whether you qualify first.

A separate component of commercial suites in the same development, from 450 to 597 sq.ft. The developer's own drawings label the main space a commercial suite, with one or two rooms off it, a pantry, a bathroom and a balcony. They are commercial units, not homes: financing, outgoings, stamp duty and the tenant profile all differ from a residential purchase. I show the layouts so you can see the difference rather than discover it after you have compared a price per square foot across the two.

No. The development is in Shah Alam, Selangor, where the minimum purchase price for a foreign buyer is RM2,000,000 — double the Kuala Lumpur floor of RM1,000,000. At 554 to 815 sq.ft. the advertised prices do not reach that threshold, and the affordable allocation is restricted further still. If you are buying from overseas, message me and I will send the Kuala Lumpur developments that clear the RM1,000,000 floor instead.

The podium deck is grouped into four zones. Oasis: timber decking, pool lounge, cabana, elevated resting area, urban garden and an open green lawn. Social: chill-out benches, pool side deck, waiting deck, BBQ area, BBQ dining area and a private dining room. Play: playground, wading pool, pet park and a games room that doubles as co-working space. Active: outdoor and indoor gyms, the swimming pool, an elevated jogging track, multipurpose courts, changing rooms and saunas. The developer also lists smart home integration, EV charging stations and a five-tier security system.

September 2027, as stated on the developer's statutory block. That is a short horizon by current standards — several of the developments I market complete in 2030 or later — and it is one of the stronger reasons to look at this one if you do not want five years of progressive payments before you see a key. The liquidated ascertained damages clause in the sale and purchase agreement is your protection if the date slips.

HCK Bestari Sdn Bhd, company number 201701010085 (1224250-P), a wholly owned subsidiary of HCK Capital Group Bhd, developing in collaboration with PKNS, the Selangor state development corporation.

The approving authority is Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam and the advertisement is approved by Jabatan Perumahan Negara.

Pricing is released on application rather than published here, and it differs by layout, by floor and — importantly — by whether you are looking at the affordable allocation, the open-market apartments or the LOSO commercial suites. WhatsApp me and I will send the developer's current price list for the right product, check your eligibility where it applies, and set out the full cash requirement stage by stage including legal fees, stamp duty and the payment schedule to 2027.
