President and Chief Executive Officer of SP Setia Bhd, Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin said the 240-acre integrated freehold mixed development, will set a new benchmark where green development is concerned within the Shah Alam skyline.
"It will comprise office towers, hotels, service apartments and a retail mall with all the elements of the concept of live, learn, work and play," he said during the official launch of Setia City today.
"With the confirmation of the building of three Grade A corporate headquarters for SP Setia, Top Glove Corporation and Khind Holdings Bhd, Setia City is now ready to be launched as the first integrated green commercial hub serving the Greater Klang Valley," he added.
He also indicated there are also plans to bring in private universities.
According to Liew, the commercial hub will be one of the largest master-planned city centres in the Klang Valley and carry the SP Setia stamp of lush tropical landscapes featuring parks and gardens, as well as lakes and waterways.
"Setia City will also be the first integrated project to have all the buildings certified under the Green Building Index," he highlighted.
Setia City, he said, has managed to attract international and renowned property player, Lend Lease, headquartered in Australia to jointly invest in the development of a retail centre to be known as Setia City Mall.
"The new mall will form the focal point of Setia City. "The confidence the market has in Setia City Mall has led to the signing of major anchor retailer, Parkson, as well as leading cinema operator Golden Screen Cinemas.
"In addition numerous other specialty retailers have been secured," Liew said.
When complete, the mall he said, will offer a fun and affordable family experience comprising amazing green space, fantastic shops, great food and entertainment.
