One of the forerunners in Malaysia’s property sector, S P Setia was first established in 1974. Today, the group has since grown to become a multiple award-winning public listed developer, with an international presence in countries such as Japan, Australia, China, and the United Kingdom. Developments by S P Setia are guided by their LiveLearnWorkPlay philosophy – emphasising a holistic and enriching lifestyle for residents.

Another similar S P Setia development in Penang is Setia V Residences, a freehold condominium in Georgetown.

This project was launched in 2016 and subsequently completed in 2021.
