Basalta Tower @ Eco Sky, Batu Caves, Kuala Lumpur

Reviewed by iProperty Editorial Team, May 2026

Basalta Tower is a freehold serviced residence in Taman Wahyu, Kuala Lumpur, forming the second of three residential towers within the Eco Sky integrated development. It was developed by Eco Sky Development Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Eco World Development Group Berhad. The tower comprises 298 units across 39 storeys on a shared 9.6-acre freehold site, with five unit layout types ranging from 904 sq ft to 1,227 sq ft. Every unit receives two car park bays. Its main locational strength is walkable access to Taman Wahyu KTM Komuter Station and a large central park within the development. The main trade-offs are its commercial title, the distance from MRT connections, and peak-hour congestion along Jalan Ipoh toward the city centre.

Basalta Tower is a freehold 39-storey serviced residence forming the second of three towers within the Eco Sky integrated development in Taman Wahyu, Kuala Lumpur. It was developed by Eco Sky Development Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Eco World Development Group Berhad. The tower carries a commercial strata title and was completed in 2018. The Eco Sky development overall occupies 9.6 acres of freehold land and includes three residential towers, Aurora, Basalta, and Clarita, alongside 35 units of four-storey retail offices and a 2.7-acre central park.

The tower rises 39 storeys with 10 units per floor, served by 5 passenger lifts and 1 service lift. The tower name draws from basalt, a fine-grained volcanic rock, reflected in the lobby's sculptural elements. The wider Eco Sky development has a combined residential total of 1,115 units across all three towers, with shared facilities at Level 7 serving all residents.

Basalta Tower is located within the Eco Sky development off Jalan Ipoh in Taman Wahyu, approximately 12 km north of the Kuala Lumpur city centre. The development sits adjacent to Jalan Kuching, a major arterial road connecting toward Kepong and the KL city centre.

Taman Wahyu KTM Komuter Station on the KTM Batu Caves Line is approximately 350 m to 490 m from the development, walkable in approximately 7 minutes. The station provides KTM Komuter services toward KL Sentral and Batu Caves. Sri Delima MRT Station on the Putrajaya Line is approximately 1.2 km from the Taman Wahyu area, at roughly 16 minutes on foot. Bus routes including 100, 104, 151, and ML81 serve stops within the Taman Wahyu area. The combination of a walkable KTM Komuter station and a nearby MRT Putrajaya Line station makes Eco Sky among the better-connected residential developments in the Taman Wahyu corridor.

Basalta Tower is served by Jalan Ipoh and Jalan Kuching, both major arterials running between Taman Wahyu and the Kuala Lumpur city centre. The Selayang-Kepong Highway, DUKE Highway, NKVE, and Penchala Link are accessible from the surrounding road network, supporting connectivity toward Kepong, Damansara, and the KL city centre.

Jalan Ipoh and Jalan Kuching are among the busiest arterials in north Kuala Lumpur during weekday peak hours. Southbound travel toward the city centre during morning peaks is a practical consideration, with congestion commonly experienced along both roads between Taman Wahyu and the city centre interchange points. Residents commuting city-bound by rail via the KTM Komuter can avoid this bottleneck.

Five layout types are available at Basalta Tower:

2 car park bays are allocated to every unit across all five layout types regardless of size. This uniform two-bay allocation, including for the smaller two-bedroom types, is a practical advantage for car-owning households. The open-plan living, dining, and dry kitchen arrangement is consistent across layout types, with the master bedroom positioned for privacy.

Facilities for Basalta Tower residents are located at Level 7 of the Eco Sky development, shared across all three towers. Level 7 houses The Club for sports and open-air activities, a 50-metre lap pool, a fun island pool, a children's water play area, The Pavilion garden lounge, and The Peak penthouse club for socialising and entertainment. The 2.7-acre central park within the development provides open green space accessible to all residents. Retail offices within the development support daily convenience needs at ground and lower levels.

10 units per floor across 39 storeys gives Basalta Tower a low floor-level density for a KL high-rise. 5 passenger lifts plus 1 service lift serving only 10 units per floor is a generous lift-to-unit ratio that reduces peak-hour wait times relative to higher-density towers. The combined 1,115-unit total across three towers on 9.6 acres gives the overall Eco Sky development a site density of approximately 116 units per acre, which is moderate for a KL high-rise precinct.

The 2.7-acre central park provides a low-density green environment within the development boundary. The three-tower arrangement around the park reduces the sense of density relative to single-tower developments of comparable unit counts.

Distances are measured from the Eco Sky development on Jalan Ipoh. Off-peak drive times apply for car journeys. Weekday peak-hour congestion along Jalan Ipoh and Jalan Kuching toward the KL city centre is a practical consideration for southbound commuters.

Aurora Tower, the first residential tower within Eco Sky, shares the same 9.6-acre freehold site, central park, and Level 7 shared facilities. Aurora Tower has 357 units across 39 storeys with built-up sizes from 861 sq ft to 1,227 sq ft, giving it a slightly higher unit count but a comparable density and layout profile to Basalta Tower. Buyers comparing within the Eco Sky development may consider unit orientation, floor level, and specific layout type as the primary differentiators between the two towers.

Lakeville Residence by Mah Sing Group is located within the same Taman Wahyu area along Jalan Sibu and offers a different tenure and title profile. Buyers comparing developments in the Taman Wahyu corridor may weigh Basalta Tower's freehold commercial title against Lakeville's alternative profile, alongside differences in unit size range and facility scope.

Basalta Tower may suit owner-occupiers and families who prioritise freehold tenure, generous unit sizes starting from 904 sq ft, two car park bays per unit, and a well-planned site with a large central park. The walkable distance to Taman Wahyu KTM Komuter Station makes it more practical for rail-dependent commuters than many other developments in the Taman Wahyu corridor.

The project is less suited to buyers seeking MRT-walkable access, as Sri Delima MRT Station is approximately 1.2 km from the area at roughly 16 minutes on foot. It may also be less suited to buyers who require a residential title property, as Basalta Tower carries a commercial strata title despite its freehold land tenure.

The main trade-off at Basalta Tower is its commercial strata title, which affects financing eligibility and buyer category considerations compared with residential title properties, despite the development's freehold land tenure.

Sri Delima MRT Station on the Putrajaya Line is approximately 1.2 km away at roughly 16 minutes on foot. Rail-dependent commuters heading to MRT-served destinations would need to walk or take a short vehicle connection, making the KTM Komuter the more practical daily rail option for most residents.

Weekday peak-hour congestion along Jalan Ipoh and Jalan Kuching is a consistent practical consideration for southbound car commuters heading toward the KL city centre during morning peaks.
