AKASA Cheras South Review 2026: Price, Layouts, Location & Who It Suits

Quick answer: who is AKASA Cheras South for?

AKASA suits families who want to buy a finished home they can inspect today, with large layouts up to 2,048 sq ft and a resort-style facility deck. It is less suited to buyers who want a quiet, small building: Tower A has 22 units a floor, and the project has 998 homes in all.

My view

The main difference between AKASA and the new launches around Seri Kembangan is that it is already built. It was completed in 2021, so what you see is what you get: the facilities, the views and the finishes are there to inspect. The facility deck is the headline, about 150,000 sq ft across Level 7 and the rooftops, with a man-made sandy beach pool of about 13,000 sq ft and an Olympic-length lap pool. The layouts are generous, from an 850 sq ft 2-bedroom to a 2,048 sq ft 4-bedroom, and there is a 1,500 sq ft dual-key unit that suits a family with elderly parents or a grown-up child. The trade-offs: Tower A is dense at 22 units a floor, and the MRT stations are about 2 km away, which is why the development runs a shuttle.

• Suits: families who want a completed home and large layouts; households that want a dual-key unit for parents or an adult child.
• Think twice if: you want a low-density building, or to walk to the train.

Project facts (checked, updated October 2026)

Who is the developer?

AKASA is developed by Hap Seng Land Development (Balakong) Sdn Bhd. Hap Seng Land is the property division of Hap Seng Consolidated Berhad, a listed company with businesses in plantations, property, credit financing, fertiliser and automotive trading, and building materials. Hap Seng Land has more than 50 years in property development. Its homes in the Klang Valley include Aria in KL City Centre, Nadi Bangsar and The Horizon Residences, and its investment properties include Menara Hap Seng, Menara Hap Seng 2 and Menara Citibank. It also built the Mercedes-Benz Autohaus in Balakong, directly opposite AKASA.

What is near AKASA Cheras South?

Distances are approximate.

The project is reached by the SILK Highway and the Cheras–Kajang Highway, with the North–South Expressway, BESRAYA, KESAS and the East–West Link nearby. The F&B outlets in AKASA's own business park are at the doorstep.

What do nearby homes actually sell and rent for?

Asking rents, September–October 2026

Asking rents are what owners are listing for, not signed leases, so treat them as a ceiling.

How I read it. I found no current asking rents for Green Suria @ Bandar Tun Hussein Onn, the closer of the two references, so the table shows only Jadite Suites, a completed serviced residence in Cheras about 3.5 km away in a straight line. Its 947 to 1,028 sq ft units, around the size of AKASA's 1,000 sq ft Type B, ask RM 1,600 to 2,000 a month, and its 1,206 to 1,216 sq ft units, near the 1,155 sq ft Type C, RM 2,000 to 2,700. With one reference building some distance away, treat this as a rough guide only; I found nothing comparable for the 2,000 sq ft and larger layouts.

Which AKASA layout suits you?

What I would pick. For a family, Type C at 1,155 sq ft is the practical middle: three bedrooms and two bathrooms with room to spare. The layout I find most useful here is the 1,500 sq ft Type D: the dual-key design gives you, in effect, two homes behind one front door, so parents and an adult child each get their own space. Because the building is finished, ask to see the actual unit and the view; depending on the unit, it looks towards the Kuala Lumpur skyline, Kajang or the pool.

What does it cost to hold each month?

The maintenance fee is about RM 0.33 per sq ft a month, plus 10% for the sinking fund, about RM 0.363 per sq ft in total, so:

Quit rent and assessment tax come on top.

Price per square foot against its neighbours

The three neighbours are new launches in Seri Kembangan, about 6 to 7 km west of AKASA. AKASA is priced higher per square foot than Quaver and Trinity Nordic, but it is the only one of the four you can move into now; the others are expected between 2027 and 2030.

The Tower A rooftop on Level 36 has a chill-out lounge, a moonlight deck, a reading pavilion, a sky lounge, a gourmet kitchen, a private dining atrium and a games lounge. The rooftops of Towers B and C on Level 29 have a reading corner, a lounge, a kids' entertainment zone, a TV and audio room, a music chamber, a stargazing deck and badminton courts.
