Aster Residence is a serviced apartment at Taman Cheras Hartamas, in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. It is developed by Amber Homes Sdn Bhd, across 2.82 acres of leasehold land.
Taman Cheras Hartamas is a smallish township in Cheras, at the border of Selangor-Federal Territory. This township is surrounded by mature townships such as Taman Segar, Taman Connaught, and Taman Cuepacs. Thus, residents will have their pick of amenities within a short drive.
Taman Cheras Hartamas is also surrounded by greenery, despite being a mature neighbourhood in a pretty high demanded area. So, residents can enjoy the calm and breeze from the forest, while being close to the city. Compared to other large residential areas, Taman Cheras Hartamas is considered a low-density neighbourhood.
Aster Residence is expected to be completed in 2021.

Analysis
Aster Residence is a standalone high-rise transit oriented development. There aren’t any commercial elements or shop lots within the development itself. Some would take this as a good thing, not having to worry about the type of shops or whether the lots will be occupied or not. However, this also means having to drive or walk for their daily needs. The closest mall would be Cheras Sentral Mall.
Motorists and residents often complain about the traffic congestion in Cheras. At Taman Cheras Hartamas, it’s no different. However, the silver lining for residents is that they have an access road into the neighbourhood from the Cheras-Kajang Expressway.
Here’s a side note, the architect for Aster Residences is CL&O Architects, is the same architect for Sunway Rymba Hills.
