Kuala Lumpur Condo Project Faces Criticism Over Green Space and Flood Risk

A proposed six-tower, 1,291-unit condominium project spanning 7.53ha in Taman Seputeh, Kuala Lumpur, has drawn criticism from residents. Mohd Azmal Khan, chairman of the Setia Sky Seputeh management committee, argued that the developer’s planned allocation of green space was insufficient to mitigate potential environmental damage. The project, which will be built over nine years across three phases, includes surrendering 10% of the site to Kuala Lumpur City Hall for public green space, plus an additional 10% as private green space.

The project has sparked widespread concern among residents regarding its potential environmental and traffic impacts. Khan stated that building the condominium would require cutting the slope and removing most of its greenery, which could destroy the slope’s water catchment capability and increase the risk of landslides and flash floods.
