Redefining Setia EcoHill 2's commercial landscape
An artist's impression of Setia EcoHill 2's Nadi 3A, which garnered a 70% take-up rate during its launch weekend. SETIA EcoHill 2, the sprawling 409ha (1,010-acre) freehold township in Semenyih, is transforming into a vibrant, sustainable community, with the latest additions to Setia Commerce Square. The successful launch of Nadi (Phase 3A), alongside landscape enhancements across the township, marks a pivotal moment in the development of a holistic community environment. As Klang Valley's Southern Corridor continues to evolve into the next hotspot for urban expansion, savvy investors are turning their attention to commercial development in Semenyih. Strategically located within the burgeoning Setia Commerce Square, Nadi 3A, alongside other Nadi phases, is envisioned as the central business district of the Setia EcoHill 2 master plan. Its development has garnered a 70% take-up rate during its launch weekend, highlighting the demand for versatile commercial spaces within the township's mature and steadily growing population. 'Buoyed by the overwhelming response to Nadi 3A, we are now preparing to roll out Nadi 3B, the final phase of shop-offices within Setia Commerce Square. Comprising another 44 units with the same sought-after layout, Nadi 3B is expected to launch in Q4 2025, at a slightly higher price point in line with increasing demand and market confidence,' said Setia EcoHill 2 divisional general manager Koh Sooi Meng. 'Our target demographic for Nadi is made up of business owners and brands that intend to expand their shops and operations within the residential catchment of Setia EcoHill 2 and its surrounding areas. 'The commercial development would also appeal to our loyalty programme of purchasers, known as Citizen Setia, who are looking into investment opportunities with S P Setia. We are confident that Nadi will add further value and vibrancy to the thriving Setia EcoHill 2.' An artist's impression of Nadi 3A, which will feature 1,144 parking bays for residents and visitors alike.

The development comprises 44 shop units, featuring 36 two-storey and eight three-storey shop offices, with built-ups ranging from 3,899sq ft to 8,365sq ft, and lot sizes between 26' x 75' and 42' x 75'. Prices for these commercial units range from RM1.79mil to RM3.8mil. Emerging retail opportunities Designed with businesses in mind — particularly F&B and retail establishments — the shop offices feature a generous 26-foot frontage with a column-free facade design, ensuring high visibility and accessibility for customers. Nadi 3A also prioritises convenience with 1,144 car parking bays and wide frontal walkways, promoting better inter-shop connectivity and a comfortable experience for visitors. Its ideal location within Setia Commerce Square promises long-term business sustainability, with upcoming key developments including a petrol station, corporate office buildings and a vibrant lifestyle F&B hub. Additionally, the strong flow of future businesses is secured by an existing captive market from surrounding matured township developments and a direct catchment of 5,470 upcoming apartment units nearby. Scheduled for completion by Q2 2028, Nadi 3A is set to become one of the most vibrant commercial districts serving the emerging Semenyih corridor. The development also benefits from excellent connectivity, situated next to the Lekas-EcoHill 2 Link, the main artery connecting Jalan Semenyih to the Kajang-Seremban (Lekas) Highway. Setia EcoHill 2 enjoys superb connectivity via major highways, making it an easily accessible and desirable location for businesses and residents alike. As part of Setia EcoHill 2, the Nadi commercial series is poised for robust growth, with 10,000 residential units to be completed by 2031. This includes access to the KL-Seremban North South Highway (PLUS), Kajang Dispersal Link Expressway (SILK), Lekas Highway, South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE), Jalan Semenyih, Jalan Bangi Lama and East Klang Valley Expressway. As part of the RM5bil freehold of Setia EcoHill 2, the Nadi commercial series is poised for robust growth with 10,000 residential units slated for full development by 2035 in the mixed township.
