Quick answer: who is Astrum Shah Alam for?
Astrum Shah Alam suits families and working couples who want a 3-bedroom home in central Shah Alam, right beside an LRT station, a hospital and a mall, with a large facility deck. It is less suited to households with two cars, since every unit gets one car park, or to buyers who want a low-density building.
My view
Location is the reason to look at Astrum. It sits in Seksyen 14, the centre of Shah Alam, with the Dato' Menteri LRT station next door, Avisena Hospital about 35 m away, SACC Mall about 140 m away and Taman Tasik Shah Alam, the city's green lung, about 350 m away. Most layouts are 3-bedroom units of 775 to 1,065 sq ft, plus a 4-bedroom and a compact 2-bedroom. The facility deck on Level 9 is large, about 62,000 sq ft with 53 facilities, including a 50 m infinity lap pool and separate male and female gyms. The trade-offs are scale, with 1,252 units in three towers, and one car park per unit.
- Suits: families who want three bedrooms in the middle of Shah Alam; owners who would use the LRT, the lake park and the hospital nearby.
- Think twice if: you need two car park bays; you prefer a smaller development.

What do nearby homes actually sell and rent for?
Asking rents, September–October 2026
| Project | Unit | Asking rent per month |
|---|---|---|
| Vista Alam Serviced Apartment | 500 to 550 sq ft | RM 1,200 to 1,500 |
| Vista Alam Serviced Apartment | 714 to 760 sq ft | RM 1,450 to 1,850 (mostly RM 1,650 to 1,700) |
| Vista Alam Serviced Apartment | 1,001 to 1,123 sq ft | RM 1,900 to 2,200 |
| Residensi Advena | 941 to 943 sq ft | RM 1,700 to 2,500 (mostly RM 2,500) |
| Residensi Advena | 1,100 sq ft | RM 1,700 |
Asking rents are what owners are listing for, not signed leases, so treat them as a ceiling.
How I read it. Vista Alam, about 0.4 km away in Seksyen 14, is the nearest finished reference. Its 500 to 550 sq ft units, near Astrum's 570 sq ft Type E, ask RM 1,200 to 1,500 a month; its 714 to 760 sq ft units, close to Types B and B1, mostly RM 1,650 to 1,700; and its 1,001 to 1,123 sq ft units, the size of the 1,022 to 1,065 sq ft types, RM 1,900 to 2,200. Residensi Advena, about 1.9 km away, has fewer listings. Astrum is priced at about RM 745 to 800 psf for completion in Q3 2028, so if you are buying to let, keep these finished-building rents in mind.
Which Astrum Shah Alam layout suits you?
| Type | Size | Configuration | Who it suits (my view) |
|---|---|---|---|
| E | 570 sq ft | 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | A couple, or a starter home |
| B | 775 sq ft | 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | A young family on a budget |
| B1 | 796 sq ft | 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, balcony | A young family |
| B2 | 1,022 sq ft | 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, balcony | A family that wants more room |
| B3 | 1,054 sq ft | 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, balcony | A family that wants more room |
| C | 1,054 sq ft | 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 ensuite, balcony | A family that wants a proper master suite |
| D | 1,065 sq ft | 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 ensuite, balcony | A family; the largest layout |
| A | 1,054 sq ft | 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, balcony | A larger or multi-generation family |
What I would pick. Type B at 775 sq ft and Type E at 570 sq ft are the show units, and Type B is the cheapest way into three bedrooms here. For a family that wants more space, the 1,054 to 1,065 sq ft layouts are the better buy; Type A is the only 4-bedroom and the only one with three bathrooms. Types B and E have no balcony. Towers face different views: Metro towards Kota Kemuning, Horizon towards Taman Tasik Shah Alam and Apex towards the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque.
What does it cost to hold each month?
The maintenance fee is RM 0.35 per sq ft a month plus a 10% sinking fund, about RM 0.385 per sq ft in total:
| Type | Size | Maintenance fee and sinking fund per month |
|---|---|---|
| E | 570 sq ft | About RM 219 |
| B | 775 sq ft | About RM 298 |
| B1 | 796 sq ft | About RM 306 |
| B2 | 1,022 sq ft | About RM 393 |
| A / B3 / C | 1,054 sq ft | About RM 406 |
| D | 1,065 sq ft | About RM 410 |
That is in line with Bayu @ Mori Park (RM 0.385 including sinking fund) and Erat Residence (RM 0.35 plus a 10% sinking fund). Quit rent, assessment tax and utilities come on top.
Price per square foot against its neighbours
| Project | From | Price per sq ft | Built-up | Units | Monthly fee | Completion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Astrum Shah Alam | RM 456,000 | about RM 745 to 800 | 570 to 1,065 sq ft | 1,252 | RM 0.35 psf + 10% sinking fund | Expected Q3 2028 |
| Bayu @ Mori Park | RM 250,000 | about RM 455 to 702 | 549 to 958 sq ft | 1,028 | RM 0.385 psf | Expected Q2 2029 |
| Erat Residence @ Alam Impian | RM 666,000 | about RM 607 | 1,098 to 2,206 sq ft | 269 | RM 0.35 psf + 10% sinking fund | Expected 2028 |
| Luminar Residence | RM 356,000 | about RM 700 | 549 to 1,389 sq ft | 751 | about RM 0.38 psf | Targeted Q4 2029 |
Astrum has the highest price per square foot of the four, which is what you pay for the Seksyen 14 address beside the LRT. Bayu @ Mori Park in Seksyen 13 is cheaper per square foot; Erat Residence in Alam Impian offers much larger homes at a lower rate but further from rail.
Facilities
The Level 9 facility deck covers about 62,000 sq ft with 53 facilities. Water and fitness: a 50 m infinity lap pool, shallow lounge pool, jacuzzi, children's pool with slide and bubbler pool, sun deck, a smart gym, separate male and female gyms with sauna and changing rooms, anti-oxidant rooms, a semi-outdoor fitness area and a yoga and meditation deck.
