Eco Ardence is an eco-township that is expected to be a vibrant sub-urban city of art, culture, and commerce. This joint-venture between Eco World Development Group Bhd and Cascara Sdn Bhd is located just before Setia Alam in Shah Alam.
The 533-acre development has a gross development value (GDV) of RM8.58bil and will feature Garden Homes (2,400 sq ft), semi-detached houses (2,600 sq ft) and bungalows (between 3,000 sq ft and 4,200 sq ft). The project will be developed over the next 10 to 15 years.
Aeres (Phase 1) introduced 432 residential units in 2016. Following that, Dremien (Phase 2) was launched in 2017 and will have 259 residential units, while Ardence Crest (Phase 3) was also launched in 2017 and will comprise 160 units of two- and three-storey shop lots.
In September 2018, Phase 1 of Nara was launched and it comprises 308 garden homes (2-storey terraced units) and courtyard homes (townhouses). In May 2019, the first phase of Cora was launched, offering 71 units comprising 44 semi-detached houses and 27 bungalows.
Eco Ardence offers gated and guarded landed strata homes, and each unit will come with a garden ranging between 20 sq ft and 30 sq ft. It is expected to offer dream homes for residents, with its finishing and detailing that aim to give the interior a spacious and fluid layout, while adding a touch of class.
Eco Ardence’s sales gallery was opened in January 2018. The sales gallery consists of 2 storeys and has a built-up area of 24,000 sq ft. It has an event hall, gourmet kitchen, an office, amenities, landscaping, and an open-air carpark.

It will feature eateries, a grocer, a pet hotel, retail spaces, an urban garden, event spaces, two football fields, art spaces, a co-working space, and an education hub. Sizes for the retail lots range from 290 sq ft to 2,000 sq ft.
The retail component has been well received and tenants include Jaya Grocer, Cocomomo, Ardence Arena, Wespo Mini Mart, Masterclean, U-Mai, i1Fitness, llao llao, Tealive, Healthlane Pharmacy, Mich’sology, BalloonLab, Famous Kleener, Let’s Joy Café, Laughing Monkey, Kebab Bowl, Aroi Mak Mak, Plant Cartridge, Bamboo Biryani, Chaiwalla, Hinata Café, BigBlind, Cykel & Cyclist, Piacevole, U Bistro, Nyonya Kitchen, Potspot, PoPo’s House, and Puros & Meat Cartel.

Project Details
All 432 landed homes in Aeres were sold out within a year and will be handed over to the owners in October 2019. The second housing precinct called Dremien, was launched in 2017 and is expected to see handover in October 2020.
Aeres features a hint of Japanese influence in its design, while the second phase, Dremien, will have a modern contemporary design. Homebuyers will have access to the residents-only clubhouse with facilities including a swimming pool, jacuzzi, and a gym.
Instead of back lanes, pedestrian-friendly linear gardens allow residents and their families to enjoy the space without worrying about oncoming traffic. In all phases, over 20% of the land will be designated as green areas.

Location
Eco Ardence is located just before Setia Alam, and is surrounded by a wide range of amenities and mature townships, with good connectivity to key destinations via major highways.
The development enjoys access via four major highways – the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), Federal Highway, ELITE Highway, and the Guthrie Corridor. From these highways, Eco Ardence is about:
- 11km to Klang
- 16km to Subang Jaya
- 18km to Petaling Jaya
- 24km to Damansara
- 30km to Kuala Lumpur
- 52km to KLIA
In April 2018, the left-in slip road connecting Persiaran Setia Damai and Eco Ardence was officially opened by Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia. The slip road will direct traffic to Ardence Labs, and also serves as an alternative route to disperse traffic during peak hours along the Link Lebuhraya Baru Lembah Klang–Meru. Travelling time during peak hours is estimated to be reduced by 30 minutes with the alternative route fully operational. This is expected to benefit the residents of Eco Ardence, the community and businesses in the surrounding areas as well.

Summary
Eco Ardence is close to Setia Alam and that bodes well for the development. On its own, Eco Ardence has its own pull factor, such as gardens, clubhouse, parks and Ardence Labs (which is an Insta-worthy spot in Shah Alam).
If you purchase a unit priced at RM1.7 million, and get a 30-year loan of RM1.36 million, with an 80% LTV and an interest rate of 4.3%, your monthly instalment will amount to approximately RM6,730 per month. This figure is derived from PropertyGuru’s Home Loan Calculator.
