19088-3 · registered name Residensi The Atas · licensee KAISAR MAXIM SDN. BHD. (978433-P), TEDUH developer code 19088The Atas @ Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur — the Ministry’s register flags it Lewat, late, at 33.27% built, and this page prints both readings of that
Registered as Residensi The Atas under KPKT project code 19088-3 — print that code beside the name, because “The Atas” alone is a marketing form. 624 apartments in three blocks of 208, 27 storeys per block as filed, on a 99-year lease expiring 30 March 2123. The statutory handover date has been moved from 11 May 2027 to 11 September 2028 under an approved 16-month extension, and the register’s own status field reads Lewat at 33.27% construction progress. Two honest readings of that run in opposite directions. Both are below.

The Atas (Residensi The Atas) at a glance
Everything in this table is either a filed statutory particular, a field from the public TEDUH register, or a figure from a named publisher — labelled each time. Where a figure is our own arithmetic on somebody else’s number, it says so.

Seven things about The Atas that only the filings will tell you
None of the seven is on the developer’s website, and none is on a portal. Each one comes out of the two filed advertisement generations, the public register, a Bursa announcement or a named newspaper.
The register says Lewat, and the fair reading is split
At 33.27% built the Ministry’s register flags the project late. For the developer: the main contractor’s own 32-month programme, started 17 September 2024, ends about 17 May 2027 — six days after the original 11 May 2027 handover date, so that date was arithmetically out of reach the day the contract was let, and the 16-month extension reads as a re-baselining. Against it: about 78% of the contractor’s programme has elapsed against 33.27% built, and the revised date sits roughly 16 months beyond the programme’s own end, unexplained by any source. Both readings are printed in full in the register block.
Two filed generations for one phase, seven fields apart
Both filed advertisement paths are live under serial 19088 and they are two generations of the same phase, not two phases. They disagree on completion (April 2027 → Sept 2028), minimum price (RM808,000 → RM849,000), maximum price (RM1,101,000 → RM1,157,000), the permit field, the interest restriction, the unsold count and the plan reference. And the superseded one is the only source anywhere for the lot number, the street address, the built-up schedule, the fittings and the facilities legend — the current filing’s whole text layer runs to 1,358 characters.
The registry price band is a splice, and there is a fourth figure
The public register pairs the superseded minimum (RM808,000) with the current maximum (RM1,157,000), a pair that matches no filed advertisement. Its third row prints RM818,000, which matches neither generation. Portals scrape the register, so the RM808,000 in public circulation is a superseded filed minimum, RM41,000 below what the developer has actually filed.
A delivery record for this licence that nobody publishes
19088-1 The Address, 376 units: +29 months, certificate of completion 30 August 2022 — about 195 days inside its revised date and roughly 22.5 months past the original. 19088-2 Residensi The Address II, 202 units: +29 months, certificate 7 March 2023 — about 200 days inside the revised and roughly 22.4 months past the original. Both completed, and neither has a vacant-possession date on the record at all. The Atas has taken a shorter extension than either: 16 months, not 29.
The licence covers every one of the 624 marketed units
Three register rows of 208 each, 3 × 208 = 624, the marketed total on every source. The serial walk ends at -3 and the register’s own bilanganProjek is 3 — no dormant twin, no permit-less sibling. Credit that. The gap is elsewhere: the shop, laundrette, cafeteria, daycare and kindergarten have no stated status, and the contractor’s scope of works names a TNB substation unit and an additional developer’s apartment on the rooftop of Block C — a 625th apartment that appears in no filing, no register row and nowhere in the marketing.
“Low Density” does not survive the only acreage anyone publishes
624 units on the 3.6 acres The Edge and PropertyGuru both print works out at 173.3 units per acre — our arithmetic on a press acreage, and there is no filed denominator at all, because Keluasan Tanah is not printed and the register files 0 mps. What is genuinely distinctive needs no arithmetic: every unit is 1,156 sq ft or larger with at least three bedrooms and three bathrooms. That is the honest version — large units, not low density.
A filed consent requirement on the land itself
The current filing carries a Sekatan Kepentingan: the land may not be transferred, leased, charged or encumbered without the consent of the Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory Land Executive Committee. That is not a foreign-buyer footnote — it is a recurring cost and a delay on every resale and every refinancing, for every owner. And the filed security provision is a guard house, nothing more: no source commits to a gated-and-guarded scheme.
What is filed, what is built, and what is only claimed
The statistics band is filed or registered. The facilities are shown twice over — as the superseded filed legend prints them and as the developer’s own microsite assigns them — because the two vocabularies do not map onto each other and no document reconciles them.
Facilities — the filed legend and the developer’s own assignment, side by side
The microsite claims “53 Assorted Facilities” and The Edge repeats the figure — two independent publishers on the same number, which is the strongest facilities-count support in this batch. But it cannot be verified from the page’s own numbering, which restarts on each floor, and about seventeen listed items are assigned to no level at all. The filed legend is not numbered; about 43 distinct items were transcribable from it.

Flagged, refused or not committed
- “Putting green” appears on the microsite’s rooftop and in no filing. The filed legend has no putting green. Flagged, not refuted.
- “Sky Pavilion” (microsite) against pavilion and park rest area (filing): the filed list is in Malay and the microsite’s in English, and no document reconciles them. Neither list is presented here as the other’s translation.
- Only one facilities plan is published, and only for Level 3A. There is no published plan for LG5, the ground floor or the rooftop, so three of the four facility levels are text only.
- No gated-and-guarded commitment exists. The filed schedule commits a guard house. No source commits to 24-hour manned security, CCTV coverage or an access-control system, and PropertyGuru does not even tag 24-hour security. Do not let a portal facility tag stand in for a filed commitment.
- No car park bay count exists anywhere. Tempat Letak Kereta is absent from both filed generations and from the register; the microsite names the LG5 level and no number. The contractor’s “five basement levels dedicated to parking facilities” is the only published description of the car park, and it gives no count.
- The EV provision is one line with no number. The tile reads “Designated EV Charging Bay” in the singular, the list says “EV Charging Bay” and the filing says “EV charging station”. No bay count is published by anyone.
- Pet-friendly is filed, the rules are not. The filed legend does carry a pet-friendly corner, so the facility is real. No by-law, species limit, weight limit or management rule is published, and the Schedule H by-laws are not public at this stage.
- No site plan, no location map and no exterior elevation drawing exists on the developer’s host — only the four unit plans and the Level 3A facilities plan. Nothing has been substituted for them here.
The dates, in the order they happened — and which one governs
DBKL.JKB.BP S1 OSC 2023 3207(23) (current filed advertisement)19088-3/04-2027/0356(A)-(S) issued — 19 days before the launch. Marketing did not run ahead of the permit; credit ittarikhPjbPertama)ccc: "-" and vp: "-"The four filed layouts
Four built-ups, four bedroom and bathroom counts, four unit-number pairs — all of it from the superseded filed advertisement, which is the only document anywhere that carries a built-up schedule for this project. The current filing’s whole extractable text runs to 1,358 characters and contains no schedule at all. The filed schedule, The Edge and both PropertyGuru records agree on every built-up, which is rare enough in this series to be worth saying.

Type A / A1 — 1,156 sq ft
Filed as A / A1 at 1,156 K.P.S — the filing states square feet directly and publishes no square-metre conversion, so none is offered here. The plan image is caption-published: the developer’s page prints the heading TYPE A above it and links a 360° tour whose own address names both the project and the type. The A / A1 pairing is a mirror-plan convention, not two types.

Type B / B1 — 1,156 sq ft
Filed as B / B1 at 1,156 K.P.S, the same built-up as Type A but a different unit-number pair on the floor plate. Be precise about this image: it is Type B by position only. The heading TYPE B does precede it on the developer’s page, but Type B is the one layout with no 360° tour link, so there is no second, independent confirmation of the subject the way there is for A, C and D. Graded inferred, and labelled that way rather than quietly upgraded.

Type C / C1 — 1,321 sq ft
Filed as C / C1 at 1,321 K.P.S with four bedrooms and no utility room in the filed count. Caption-published: printed heading TYPE C plus a 360° tour address naming the project and the type. The register corroborates the room counts only at summary level (bilik 3, 4, tandas 3, 4) and files luas: 0, i.e. no built-up.

Type D / D1 — 1,518 sq ft
Filed as D / D1 at 1,518 K.P.S, the largest filed type. Caption-published on the printed heading plus a 360° tour address. Maxim Global’s managing director Tan Sri Gan Seong Liam told The Edge that “not surprisingly, the biggest layout has received the most interest since the preview at end-March”. No filed document prints a price for this or any other type, which is exactly why the foreign-buyer question below cannot be answered from the public record.
Provenance, stated plainly. Every built-up, bedroom count, bathroom count and unit number above comes from the superseded filed advertisement at files/19088/19088-3/, corroborated independently by The Edge and by both PropertyGuru records. The filing prints no price per type — both generations state a single band for all three blocks — so no per-type figure appears here. Two numbers on the current filing are traps and are not areas: 12,700mm and 14,100mm appear with no label and are dimension lines in millimetres on a plan sheet (12,700 mm is about 41.7 ft). No source states whether A/A1, B/B1, C/C1 and D/D1 are mirror pairs or substantively different units; the filing gives one built-up per letter pair and no plan distinguishing them. Eight unit numbers per floor across 27 storeys comes to about 216 against the 208 filed per block, which is consistent with facility and service floors taking plate area — our arithmetic, for sanity only.
Developer imagery, captioned only as far as the evidence goes



Lewat — not a photograph of anything that exists yet.

What is missing from the image record, stated rather than filled in. There is no site plan, no location map and no exterior elevation drawing on the developer’s host — only the four unit plans and the single Level 3A facilities plan. There is no construction-progress photograph on any reachable source, which is a real gap on a project the register puts at 33.27% and flags late. No image of this project can reach this site’s highest caption grade, because the developer’s host has no content management interface to read a title from: a wrong address there returns the site’s own home page rather than an error, and the same catch-all swallows the content API, so there is no way to date an asset or confirm a subject from the source. The four unit plans earn their captions from printed headings and, for three of them, a 360° tour address that names the project and the type. Nothing has been substituted, and no stock photograph appears on this page.
Ask Louis for the site plan and the progress photographsWhere it is, and every distance the developer publishes
Credit the developer: theatas.com.my publishes 34 numbered distances across four tables. That is among the most generous distance disclosure in this series, where “the developer publishes no distances at all” has been the honest answer six times. Every figure below is the developer’s own, reproduced as printed. None is ours, nothing is estimated and no place has been added. The caveat is equally real: not one third-party source publishes a competing distance for any of these places, so there is no spread to cross-check against — the developer’s table is the only distance source in existence for this project, and it is unverified by anyone.
Two different lot numbers are published for one site. The superseded filed advertisement gives Lot 58461, Jalan Taman Bukit Desa, Taman Desa, 58100 Kuala Lumpur; the main contractor’s Bursa announcement gives Lot 481970 (first phase). Both are reported here and neither is resolved — and the contractor’s parenthetical “(first phase)” implies a later phase on the same title that no filing, no register row and no marketing surface mentions. No source states whether any distance below is straight-line, driving or walking, or measured to which entrance.
Public transport — as the developer prints it
- Bus stop (Taman Bukit Desa Stop) — 210 m. The developer’s page adds only that it “can connect to MRT” and names no station and gives no onward distance, so this page names none either
- KTM Seputeh Station — 1.7 km. This is the nearest rail station the developer names, and it is a KTM Komuter station, not an LRT or MRT station
- LRT Kerinchi Station — 4.8 km
- MRT Kuchai Station — 5.5 km
- KLIA Express at KL Sentral — 7.6 km
- Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) — 9.4 km
- KL–Singapore High Speed Rail — labelled “future”, with no distance given. Published as the developer labels it, with no date attached, because none is published
- “Conveniently Connected to 8 Major Highways” — not one highway is named anywhere on the developer’s site, and no distance is given to any of them. There is no highway table. The eight cannot be identified, let alone checked
Education — nine figures, developer-published
- Desa Perdana Secondary School — 900 m
- Little Urban Forest Preschool — 1 km
- SMK Taman Desa — 1.1 km
- Vikas International School — 2 km
- Baby Atelier Preschool — 2.4 km

- Taman Desa Medical Centre — 1.7 km
- Maybank — 1.8 km
- Pantai Medical Centre — 5.6 km
- Prince Court Hospital — 8.5 km
- Gleneagles Hospital — 11.9 km
Published with no distance by any source
- All eight of the claimed “8 Major Highways” — not one named
- The MRT station the bus route is said to connect to
- The High Speed Rail station
- Any police station, fire station, post office or place of worship
- Any wet market, and any Malay-medium primary school
- The sales gallery’s distance from the site — its address is mapped on the microsite, but no distance is given
- The distance to The Address and The Address II, the two completed phases on this same licence in this same neighbourhood
The map above is a plain Google Maps lookup on the filed address, not a developer location plan. The developer does publish a location graphic, but its figures are the same developer figures tabulated here, so it would add no independent corroboration and has not been reproduced. The microsite does not contradict itself on any distance — every place appears once, and that was checked.
Residensi The Atas — the filed and registered particulars
This is the part of the page that matters. Everything in the table is either printed in a filed advertisement on the Ministry of Housing and Local Government’s HIMS portal or published in the Ministry’s public TEDUH register. The developer’s own website contributes not one statutory particular — no licence number, no permit, no plan reference, no tenure, no unit count, no storey count, no completion date, no land area and no price. Four of its pages were read separately to establish that.

The statutory Harga Jualan Unit range and the public register band are reproduced here because they are filed and public records of the sale and purchase price. Not a price list, not a quotation, not an offer. They are not a per-unit figure, and no page can give you one: ask for the price list and the sale and purchase agreement at the sales gallery, and get the figure for your specific unit in writing.
The register says Lewat — late. Here are both readings, and the reader can weigh them
At 33.27% construction progress the Ministry’s register carries Lewat in its overall status field for this project. That is the register’s own word, it gives no reason for it, and this page does not invent one. Two things pull in opposite directions and both belong here. For the developer. The main building contract was let to Binastra Builders Sdn Bhd for RM283.33 million and commenced 17 September 2024 for 32 months, which puts the contractor’s own programme end at about 17 May 2027 — six days after the original statutory vacant-possession date of 11 May 2027. So the original contractual date was arithmetically out of reach from the day the contract was signed, and the approved 16-month extension reads much more like a re-baselining than an unexplained slip. Credit two further things: the current filed brochure prints the revised date (Sept 2028) rather than quietly leaving the old one standing, and propertysifu discloses the arithmetic explicitly as “36 months + 16 months” — the only consumer source that does. Against it. From 17 September 2024 to 13 October 2026 is about 24.9 of the 32 contracted months, roughly 78% of the programme elapsed against 33.27% built. And the revised statutory date of 11 September 2028 sits about 48 months from contract commencement against a 32-month contract — roughly 16 months beyond the contractor’s own programme end, and no document explains the difference. Both readings are printed because both are true, and this page predicts nothing. What a buyer can do is concrete: get the vacant-possession date written into the Schedule H agreement for the specific unit, get the liquidated-damages clause explained, and ask for a dated progress report.
Two filed generations for one phase, and the seven fields they disagree on
Both HIMS path forms are live under serial 19088 and they are two generations of the same phase, not two phases. They disagree on seven fields: expected completion (April 2027 to Sept 2028); the statutory minimum (RM808,000 to RM849,000, up RM41,000); the statutory maximum (RM1,101,000 to RM1,157,000, up RM56,000); the advertising and sales permit field (a bare dash to a field cut off entirely); Sekatan Kepentingan (absent to present); Baki Unit (absent to 249 unsold); and the building plan reference (a garbled text layer to the readable DBKL.JKB.BP S1 OSC 2023 3207(23)). There is a table of all seven in the questions below. And the provenance needs stating plainly, because it is counter-intuitive: the SUPERSEDED filing is the richer document. It is the only source anywhere for the lot number, the street address, the built-up schedule, the fittings schedule and the facilities legend. The current P45 filing’s entire extractable text layer runs to 1,358 characters. So wherever this page gives a built-up, a lot or a facility, it is quoting a superseded advertisement, and it says so. One field on the superseded generation is named but never valued on this page. That filing carries a Bumiputera field; under this agency’s compliance instruction the existence of the field is recorded and its value is withheld. See “what this page does not publish, and why” below, which names this paragraph as the one place that mention is made.
The registry price band is a splice — and its third row carries a fourth figure from nowhere
To the sen: the current filed advertisement states RM849,000.00 – RM1,157,000.00 for all three blocks. The superseded one states RM808,000.00 – RM1,101,000.00. The public register files RM808,000.00 – RM1,157,000.00 on two of its three rows and RM818,000.00 – RM1,157,000.00 on the third. So the registry band pairs the superseded minimum with the current maximum, a combination that matches no filed advertisement at all — and row three’s RM818,000 matches neither generation. This matters commercially: the portals scrape the register, so the RM808,000 in public circulation is a superseded filed minimum, RM41,000 below what the developer has actually filed. This page publishes the current filed band as the filed band, shows the register’s band as the public record it is, names the splice, and names the orphan figure without resolving it. Not a price list, not a quotation, not an offer.
Licence and permit: renewed forward, not lapsed — and two more placeholder variants on one scheme
Both filed brochures print developer licence 19088/12-2025/0149(A), which expired 29 December 2025. Read alone that looks like a lapse. It is not, and this page says so explicitly because it would be easy to write the wrong thing here. The register shows the licence renewed forward to 19088/12-2030/0655(R), beginning 30 December 2025, the day after the old one ended, and running to 29 December 2030. Always check the register before writing “lapsed”. The advertising and sales permit is current: 19088-3/04-2027/0356(A)-(S), 30 April 2024 to 29 April 2027, marked Aktif, with about 198 days of permit remaining as at 13 October 2026. A (N) twin exists on identical dates and is marked Tidak Aktif; the register’s (A) row is the one published here. The permit history for this phase shows only those two rows — no earlier permit, no unpermitted interval, no renewal history — and the permit was issued 19 days before the launch. The sharp point for a buyer: the permit expires 29 April 2027, about 16 months before the governing vacant-possession date of 11 September 2028. A current licence is not a current permit, and a permit is not a completion guarantee. Whether it will be renewed is published by nobody. And the permit field itself produced two more placeholder variants on this one scheme: a bare dash in the superseded generation and a field cut off entirely in the current one. Neither filed brochure prints the number. The lapse question was still assessable only because the register prints it — and note that propertysifu prints both the licence and the permit without labelling their validity dates, which is exactly how a licence date gets mistaken for a permit date.
The delivery record of licence 19088 — all three phases, and it cuts both ways
No consumer source publishes any of this. All three registered phases under this licence are in Taman Desa under the same licensee, and there is a table of them in the questions below. In plain words: this licensee has delivered two buildings in this neighbourhood and both have certificates of completion in hand — 19088-1 The Address, 376 units, certificate 30 August 2022, and 19088-2 Residensi The Address II, 202 units, certificate 7 March 2023. Both also took a 29-month extension and used almost all of it, each finishing roughly 22 and a half months after the date its own first purchasers’ contracts originally pointed to, and each landing about six and a half months inside its revised date. And both records show no vacant-possession date at all (vp: "-" on each), so when keys actually changed hands is not on the public record. The fair reading of a mixed record includes this: The Atas has taken a shorter extension than either sibling — 16 months, not 29. Two filing details for completeness: both siblings ran on (P)-suffixed twelve-month permits through 2017 to 2022, which carry no -(L) or -(S) tail; and 19088-2 shows a 15-day unpermitted interval in December 2021 between two permits — minor, and on the sibling, not on The Atas, whose own permit history shows no gap. Both siblings’ permits have since expired, which is unremarkable for completed buildings.
The interest restriction, and what it costs every owner — not just foreign ones
The current filed advertisement carries a Sekatan Kepentingan, quoted in the filing as: “Tanah ini tidak boleh dipindah milik, disewakan, digadai atau ditanggung … tanpa kebenaran Jawatankuasa Eksekutif Tanah Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur” — the land may not be transferred, leased, charged or encumbered without the consent of the Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory Land Executive Committee. The superseded generation does not carry it. This is a consent requirement on the land itself, so it bites on every dealing: every resale, every lease, every charge and therefore every refinancing, for every owner, foreign or local. It is also the strongest single foreign-buyer signal available in a Malaysian filing. Ask for the consent process, the expected timeline and who pays the fee, in writing, before you book.
No reverse, affordable or controlled-price allocation exists on this scheme — said plainly
There is no -RMM, -AH, -NPT or -OMU suffix pair under this serial, so the reverse-allocation and affordable-allocation trap simply does not apply here. The filed type codes are A/A1, B/B1, C/C1 and D/D1 and nothing else; the filed built-ups run 1,156 to 1,518 sq ft, far above any Rumah Mampu Milik or RUMAWIP envelope; and the register records no controlled-price component, no quota row and no state-consent price ceiling. The three register rows are identical in type and differ only by RM10,000 at the floor. So the RM808,000 figure in public circulation is a superseded filed minimum, not an affordable band. For contrast and for honesty: the same group bought land in Taman Setapak in 2021 expressly for 604 Rumah Mampu Milik units — a different site, a different company and no bearing on this project at all.
Density: 173.3 units per acre on the only acreage anyone publishes — and the denominators refused
624 units on 3.6 acres is 173.3 units per acre. That is our arithmetic on a press acreage and it is labelled as such wherever it appears on this page. The acreage comes from The Edge Malaysia (“a 3.6-acre leasehold plot along Jalan Taman Bukit Desa”, May 2024) and is corroborated by PropertyGuru — two independent publishers, and the figure arrives attached to the same street the superseded filing prints for Lot 58461. That street match is what makes it usable at all. There is no filed denominator. Keluasan Tanah is NOT PRINTED in either generation and the register files keluasan: "0 mps" with luas: 0 on all three component rows. That was checked here and it is genuinely a not-filed value, not a built-up in square metres — unlike four other projects in this series where the same field turned out to hold an area. Two of the three corroboration routes could not be run. No land-transaction record for this site was found (the three Maxim Global land announcements located are all other sites), and no gross floor area or plot ratio is published by anyone, so there is no independent check. The contractor’s scope — three blocks of 208 over four podium levels and five basement levels of parking — is qualitatively consistent with a small, deep, tight site rather than a large one, which is a sanity check and not a measurement. Seven candidate denominators were refused, and one of them is genuinely dangerous: Aetas Taman Desa’s 3.9 acres — a different developer’s land for a different project, within 0.3 of an acre of this figure, so a mix-up would be invisible. The others: Aetas Seputeh’s 1.57 acres; the register’s 0 mps; the 12,700mm and 14,100mm millimetre dimension lines from the filed plan sheet; “Taman Desa” as a whole neighbourhood; Builtamont Development’s separate 1,236-unit Taman Desa site; and Maxim Global’s 5.8 acres in Mukim Damansara and 9,775 sq m in Taman Setapak. Consequence for the developer’s own “Low Density” tile: on the only sourced acreage it is not supported, and PropertyGuru repeats it in a worse form — “a low density of just 624 units” — which describes a count as a density. The honest version of the claim needs no arithmetic: every one of the 624 units is 1,156 sq ft or larger with at least three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Large units, not low density.
Gross development value: the arithmetic reconciles, and that is a finding too
RM580 million is the announced gross development value, carried by two independent publishers (The Star, 12 May 2024, and The Edge). Against the filed figures: 624 × RM849,000 = RM529,776,000 and 624 × RM1,157,000 = RM721,968,000; on the superseded generation, 624 × RM808,000 = RM504,192,000 and 624 × RM1,101,000 = RM687,024,000. RM580 million sits cleanly inside the minima and maxima sums on both generations, so there is no stale-generation signal in it. All four sums are our arithmetic on filed figures. This series names a gross development value that fails to reconcile often enough to owe a clean one a mention.
Take-up: two government-derived figures 15 months apart, and a public prediction that did not hold
The current filed advertisement records Baki Unit — units remaining — as 249 unsold (Blok A 103, Blok B 89, Blok C 57), on a filing dated about 27 May 2025. That is 375 of 624 sold, about 60.1%. propertysifu, citing the KPKT filing as at 28 August 2026, reports 522 of 624 sold, i.e. 102 unsold, about 83.7%. Both are government-derived and they are 147 units apart — but they are also 15 months apart, so they are not necessarily inconsistent. Both are printed here with their dates and their sources, and no conclusion is drawn about which is current. Neither is today’s stock. And the developer’s own public prediction did not hold. Deputy managing director Jayden Gan Kuok Chyuan told The Star on 12 May 2024 that he expected “a complete sell-out by the end of this year” — 2024. The developer’s own filed advertisement roughly a year later records 249 units still unsold. The quote is attributed, the filed figure is printed, and the reader can draw the conclusion.
Green certification and awards: none — and the decoy that must not migrate
No GreenRE certification is recorded for this project. All four tier tables were read. The Platinum register closed cleanly at 95 rows with its last row complete — a genuine clean negative, and the eleventh consistent Platinum run in this series. Gold (130 rows), Silver (141) and Bronze (about 332) were each truncated, so for those three the honest statement is no entry in the reachable portion of the register. The Bronze certification-entry list was also read at depth and covered 266 entries from 4 April 2024 to 9 December 2025 — a window that covers this project’s permit date and launch, with no match, which makes that negative materially stronger than the truncated table alone. One honest limitation: the Silver certification-entry list only covers 10 October 2014 to 1 July 2025 and therefore misses its own table’s 16 February 2026 row, so that list is itself only partly visible. GBI’s directory has been unreachable throughout this batch and is unchecked rather than negative. The developer claims nothing green on any surface. The microsite’s only environmental items are an EV charging bay and a pet-friendly corner. The Edge records the deputy managing director speaking to “the project’s sustainability features” and names no scheme, no rating and no certification; that is neither certification nor targeting. The most seductive decoy in this research must not migrate onto this page, so here it is by name. The GreenRE Silver register carries THE ADDRESS JOHOR BAHRU – RESIDENSI MAXIM PELANGI, developer Maxim Pelangi Sdn Bhd, provisional certification, tool RES v3.3, dated 16 February 2026. Same group, and the same “The Address” marketing name this licence’s two completed siblings carry — but a different licensee, in a different state. A claim that “Maxim’s The Address is GreenRE Silver” would be true in Johor Bahru and false for every home in Taman Desa. Also refused, each on a different licensee: Menara Desa (a non-residential tool), Desa Cemerlang Industrial Park plots 3 and 4 (an industrial tool, and a licensee whose own name contains the word Platinum — which is not a rating), Residensi Desa Timur, Aetas Seputeh, Aetas Damansara and AVÉA. And no award of any kind was found for Residensi The Atas, for The Address, for The Address II, for Kaisar Maxim Sdn. Bhd. or for Maxim Global Berhad — property, design, developer and CIDB QLASSIC searches returned nothing but resale listings. The one thing a project at a third complete could legitimately hold is a QLASSIC workmanship score, which is not a design or sustainability award; no QLASSIC result for this project or either sibling was found. The group’s own website is closed to automated reading on both address forms, so if an awards page exists it could not be read.
A documented incident on the sibling site — reported with attribution, and not characterised
A buyer searching this developer’s name will find this story, and this page is more useful for addressing it than for leaving it out. says.com, 14 February 2020, reports that part of the Taman Desa condominium project “The Address” collapsed that afternoon, first surfaced by an EdgeProp Malaysia Facebook post at 4.44 pm. The article names the developer as “pemaju Maxim Holdings Sdn Bhd”, names no contractor, reports no casualties, and records that residents had objected to the project since 2017 and had sought to defer its approval during a judicial review then ongoing. As at 6.30 pm that day the developer had not issued a statement. What that is, precisely: it concerns The Address, registered scheme 19088-1 and 19088-2 — a different registered scheme whose permit predates this one by seven years. The Atas’s own building plan was approved in 2023 and its permit issued 30 April 2024. It is recorded here because it is the same licensee and the same neighbourhood, and because it falls inside the window of the siblings’ 29-month extensions. This page makes no causal claim, draws no inference about this project, and implies no wrongdoing. Alongside it, the register records mempunyaiKesalahan: null — no offence flag — and projek_sakit 0 and projek_terbengkalai 0 against this licensee. No follow-up report, no finding and no outcome of the judicial review was found.
The Atas is not Aetas, and not The Address — six developments, four developer groups, one neighbourhood
Atas is Malay for upmarket. Aetas is Avaland’s product line. One letter apart, same neighbourhood, unrelated companies — and the confusion is live in the market, which is why it is addressed on the page rather than assumed away. The Atas is Residensi The Atas, KPKT 19088-3, licensee Kaisar Maxim Sdn. Bhd. (978433-P), leasehold 99 years to 30 March 2123, 624 units, 3.6 acres, gross development value RM580 million. Aetas Taman Desa is a different development by MCT Bhd, now Avaland Berhad: 3.9 acres across three parcels, freehold, bought for RM64.6 million, 236 units, gross development value about RM500 million (StarProperty, 2 March 2023), with no KPKT registration found. Freehold cannot be the same title as a 99-year lease — that alone settles it, and the unit count, the developer group, the parcel structure and the gross development value all agree. Aetas Seputeh is a third and separate thing: 1.57 acres bought from HPC Development Sdn Bhd for RM58 million on 23 February 2023, 126 boutique apartments; this site has its own page for it. GreenRE confirms a separate company per Aetas project. Keep apart as well: The Address and Residensi The Address II, the two completed phases on this same licence; M Aspira in the same neighbourhood, which is a Mah Sing scheme; and a separate 1,236-unit Taman Desa project for Builtamont Development Sdn Bhd that shares only a contractor.
What this page does not publish, and why
This agency works under one absolute compliance instruction, and this page applies it literally. No discount figure, no rebate figure, no nett price, no promotion and no commission information appears anywhere on this page, from any source and whatever its provenance. Three consequences follow, and this paragraph names every place on the page where the rule bites. First. The superseded filed advertisement carries a Bumiputera field. The sub-section above headed “Two filed generations for one phase, and the seven fields they disagree on” states that the field exists and does not print its value, and that paragraph is the one deliberate second mention of the word on this page. It appears nowhere else, and no figure for it appears anywhere. Second. Two independent publishers carry a “from RM” figure that sits below the current filed statutory minimum of RM849,000 — one of them roughly RM100,000 below it, matching no government source at all. Both figures are withheld. This page records only that the discrepancy exists and that it spans two independent publishers, counted after collapsing same-group titles. Where one of those publishers reproduces the register’s own RM808,000 floor in its page body, that is a government figure correctly reproduced and it is credited as such above. Third, and this one runs the developer’s way. theatas.com.my publishes no price at all — no “from RM”, no price per square foot, no price table and no statutory panel carrying a stale band. The home page, the floor-plan section, the disclaimer page and the data-protection page were each read separately and none carries a price figure. In a series where a developer’s own panel has more than once carried a stale or a below-floor number, a developer page with no price on it is the clean outcome, and it is credited here by name. What this page does publish, and on what basis: the statutory Harga Jualan Unit range from the legally filed advertisement particulars, and the public register’s own band — each explicitly labelled as such, and each accompanied by not a price list, not a quotation, not an offer. For anything beyond the filed range — the figure for a specific unit, what the price list says today, what the sales gallery will put in writing — speak to Louis directly.
Not published by anyone, therefore not on this page
Twenty things a buyer would reasonably ask that no source answers. The car park bay count and the allocation per unit type — absent from both filings and the register, with the contractor’s “five basement levels” the only published description and no number in it. The housing development account number under section 7A and the bank holding it. The landowner (Tuan Tanah) — so whether the registered proprietor must be a party to each sale and purchase agreement is unknown, which is a real conveyancing question for a buyer’s solicitor. Any joint venture and its split — the developer’s disclaimer refers generically to “joint development companies” and names none. The land acquisition for this site: vendor, price and date, searched and not found. The mukim. The reconciliation of Lot 58461 with the contractor’s Lot 481970, and what the contractor’s “(first phase)” refers to. Why the register flags the project Lewat, and against which date. Why the revised statutory date sits about 16 months beyond the contractor’s programme end. The current unsold stock — the two available figures are 17 and 15 months old. Whether the advertising and sales permit will be renewed past 29 April 2027. Per-type prices — and therefore how many units clear the foreign-buyer floor. The ownership, housing-licence status and operator of the shop, laundrette, cafeteria, daycare and kindergarten, and of the rooftop developer’s apartment and the TNB substation. The eight “Major Highways”, none named and none measured. The management corporation, service charge and sinking fund as contracted — only a 2024 press rate exists. Any construction-progress photograph or dated progress report. Any award, QLASSIC score or green certification. Gross floor area and plot ratio, hence no independent check on the 3.6 acres. The outcome of the 2020 judicial review and of the incident reported on the sibling scheme. And whether the filed types A/A1, B/B1, C/C1 and D/D1 are mirror pairs or substantively different units. These are the things Louis goes and asks the developer for in writing. Ask him for the list.
The developer, the companies behind it, and the three names you must not confuse
The licensed developer is KAISAR MAXIM SDN. BHD., company number 978433-P, KPKT developer code 19088. That company number is printed verbatim in both filed advertisements as Kaisar Maxim Sdn. Bhd.(978433-P) — it is a filed figure, not something harvested from a portal field. Kaisar Maxim is the company a buyer contracts with and the company the Ministry holds the licence against. Its current licence is 19088/12-2030/0655(R), valid 30 December 2025 to 29 December 2030, status Aktif, with mempunyaiKesalahan: null and zero projects recorded as sick or abandoned.
Do not write “developer: Maxim Global Berhad”, and this page says that because a published source does exactly that. propertysifu’s statutory panel puts “Maxim Global Berhad” in the developer field while carrying Kaisar Maxim’s own licence and permit numbers. Maxim Global Berhad (Bursa code 4022, sector Property, formerly Tadmax Resources Berhad) is the listed parent named by The Star, The Edge and the microsite — not the licensee. And a third name is in play: the microsite’s own registration-consent text names Maxim Holdings Sdn Bhd, which is also the company says.com named as developer of the sibling scheme in 2020. Three Maxim entities appear on one microsite: the footer reads © 2024 Kaisar Maxim Sdn Bhd, the disclaimer names Maxim Global Berhad, and the consent text names Maxim Holdings Sdn Bhd.
And now the dangerous one. The Ministry’s register contains MAXIM HEIGHTS SDN. BHD., developer code 11606, licence 11606/07-2027/0763(A), two completed projects. It is not part of this group. It is a MAH SING company — its registered address in the register is Penthouse Suite 1, Wisma Mah Sing and its e-mail domain is @mahsing.com.my. That is a name-only match and a near-perfect decoy, because Mah Sing’s own M Aspira is the project next door in Taman Desa. The fingerprint that identifies a genuine Maxim Global company in the register is the No. 2d, Jalan SS 6/6, Kelana Jaya, 47301 address, the @maximglobal.com.my e-mail domain and the phone 0378865454. Kaisar Maxim, Butirjaya Maxim, Majestic Maxim, Maxim Pelangi and Mizumi Maxim all carry it; Maxim Heights carries Mah Sing’s instead.
A search lesson worth recording, because it nearly went the other way. Searching the register for KAISAR returns exactly one licensee. Searching it for MAXIM returns 13. The brand word found the special-purpose company only because that company embeds the brand in its name — so both words have to be run separately, and a search on the brand alone will hand you twelve other companies including the Mah Sing one. This group licenses every project to a separate company: Kaisar Maxim holds all three Taman Desa phases, and one live licence in the set (Maxims Circle Development, code 30785) has no registered project against it at all.
The main contractor, and the thing in its scope that appears in no filing. The main building works were awarded to Binastra Builders Sdn Bhd for RM283.33 million, commencing 17 September 2024 over 32 months (Bernama; World Construction Network). The scope covers three blocks of 208 apartments, four podium levels and five basement levels of parking — plus a Tenaga Nasional Berhad substation unit and, in the contractor’s own words, “an additional developer’s apartment unit on the rooftop of Block C”. On that wording it is a 625th apartment, retained by the developer, and it appears in no filed advertisement, in no register row and nowhere on the marketing surface. This page states it as exactly what it is: a unit named only in a contractor’s scope of works. Two further contractor cautions: the same subsidiary is described in April 2023 as a subsidiary of Comintel Corporation Bhd (formerly Total Package Work Sdn Bhd) and in September 2024 as a subsidiary of Binastra Corporation Bhd — one contractor, two parent names, and neither report prints a registration number; and the same contractor also holds a separate RM229.8 million Taman Desa contract for a different employer, Builtamont Development Sdn Bhd, for 1,236 units in two towers — a third development entirely, and nothing to do with The Atas.
What the licence covers, and what it does not. All 624 marketed apartments are inside the Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Act: a Schedule H sale and purchase agreement, the statutory liquidated-damages formula for late delivery, the section 7A housing development account, the statutory defects liability period and the Homebuyer Tribunal all apply. The licence covers 100% of the marketed units — three register rows of 208, the serial walk ends at -3, and the register’s own phase count agrees at 3. Credit that; this series has found dormant twins and permit-less siblings elsewhere. But the shop, the laundrette, the cafeteria, the daycare and the kindergarten in the filed facilities legend have no stated housing-licence status, and neither do the TNB substation or the rooftop apartment. A buyer gets none of those statutory protections over any of them, and no document says who will own or operate them.
Land, lease and the chain above, as far as the record goes. The land is charged to United Overseas Bank (Malaysia) Berhad (Bebanan Tanah, both generations). The lease is a fresh 99-year term, not an inherited one: the filed expiry of 30 March 2123 back-computes to a commencement around 31 March 2024, five weeks before the launch and six weeks before the first contract — the commencement date itself is not filed and that arithmetic is ours. No joint venture is named anywhere, no landowner is named in either filing, and the land acquisition for Lot 58461 was searched for and not found: three Maxim Global land announcements were checked and each is a different site (Taman Setapak 2021, Mukim Damansara 2024, Subang Jaya). So the vendor, the price paid and the acquisition date for this parcel are not published.
One structural fact that governs how to read this whole page. theatas.com.my has no statutory block at all. Four of its pages were fetched separately — the home page, the floor-plan section, the disclaimer and the data-protection page — and not one carries a developer licence number, a permit, a plan reference, a tenure, a unit count, a storey count, a completion date, a land area or a price. There is no permit page; seven of the navigation items do nothing. The group’s own website is closed to automated reading on both address forms, so its project page and any awards page could not be read. The entire statutory record for this project is therefore the two filed advertisement generations plus the public register. The developer’s own surface contributes the facilities list, the distance tables, the floor plans and the gallery — and no statutory particular whatsoever. The one place the two sides agree exactly is the unit count: 624 on both.
Company numbers, licence numbers, permit numbers and dates in this section are from the filed advertisements and the Ministry’s public register, read on 13 October 2026. Contractor figures are from the contractor’s Bursa Malaysia announcement as reported by Bernama and World Construction Network. Parent-company and officer statements are attributed to The Star (12 May 2024) and The Edge Malaysia (May 2024). The 2020 incident report on the sibling scheme is attributed to says.com and is addressed in the register section above.
Questions a buyer actually asks about The Atas
Is The Atas late? The register says Lewat — what does that actually mean?
The Ministry’s public register carries the word Lewat, late, in its overall status field for this project, at 33.27% construction progress. The register gives no reason for it, and this page does not invent one. Two readings pull in opposite directions and both are fair.
For the developer: the main building contract commenced 17 September 2024 for 32 months, so the contractor’s own programme ends about 17 May 2027 — six days after the original statutory handover date of 11 May 2027. The original date was arithmetically out of reach the day the contract was signed, which makes the approved 16-month extension read as a re-baselining rather than an unexplained slip. The current filed brochure also prints the revised date, Sept 2028, instead of leaving the old one standing, and one portal discloses the arithmetic openly as 36 months plus 16 months.
Against it: from commencement to October 2026 is about 24.9 of the 32 contracted months, roughly 78% of the programme elapsed against 33.27% built; and the revised statutory date sits about 48 months from commencement against a 32-month contract, roughly 16 months beyond the contractor’s own programme end, unexplained by any source.
What to do about it: get the vacant-possession date written into your own Schedule H agreement, get the liquidated-damages clause explained in writing, and ask for a dated progress report. This page makes no prediction either way.
What changed between the two filed advertisements, and which one should I believe?
Both filed advertisement paths are live under serial 19088 and they are two generations of the same phase, not two phases. Believe the current one on every field it prints — but the superseded one is the only source for a great deal that the current one does not print at all.
| Filed particular | Superseded filing | Current filing | What governs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected completion (Tarikh Jangka Siap) | April 2027 | Sept 2028 | The current filing, and it matches the register’s revised date of 11 Sep 2028 |
| Statutory minimum price | RM808,000.00 | RM849,000.00 | The current filing — up RM41,000 |
| Statutory maximum price | RM1,101,000.00 | RM1,157,000.00 | The current filing — up RM56,000 |
| Advertising and sales permit number | a bare dash | field cut off entirely | Neither. Only the register prints it |
Sekatan Kepentingan | not in the document | present | The current filing — a consent requirement on the land |
Baki Unit (units remaining) | not in the document | 249 unsold | The current filing, dated about 27 May 2025 |
| Building plan reference | text layer garbled | DBKL.JKB.BP S1 OSC 2023 3207(23) | The current filing — and it settles the approving authority |
The counter-intuitive part: the superseded filing is the richer document. It is the only source anywhere for the lot number, the street address, the built-up schedule, the fittings schedule and the facilities legend. The current filing’s entire extractable text layer runs to 1,358 characters. So wherever this page gives a built-up, a lot or a facility, it is quoting a superseded advertisement, and it says so each time.
Has this developer delivered before, and what happened to the schedule?
Yes — twice, in this same neighbourhood, under this same licence. No consumer source publishes this record, and it cuts both ways.
| KPKT code | Registered name | Units | First contract | Original handover | Extension | Revised handover | Certificate of completion | Outcome |

The honest reading. Both earlier buildings are finished and have their certificates. Both also took a 29-month extension and used almost all of it, finishing roughly 22 and a half months after the date their own first purchasers’ contracts originally pointed to, while landing about six and a half months inside the revised date. Both records also show no vacant-possession date at all, so when keys actually changed hands is not on the public record. And The Atas has taken a shorter extension than either sibling: 16 months, not 29.
How many storeys is it, and what is the lot number? I have seen different answers
You have, and so has everybody. Four storey counts and two lot numbers are in circulation. The filings govern, and this page prints the others rather than hiding them.
| Particular | Source | Figure | Status on this page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Storeys | Both filed advertisement generations | 27 per block | Published as the figure |
| Storeys | All three register component rows | 27 | Corroborates the filings |
| Storeys | The Edge Malaysia, from the launch briefing | 30 (“three 30-storey towers above a 5-storey lower ground car park”) | Named, not adopted |
| Storeys | PropertyGuru records 20192 and 23092 | 30 | Named, not adopted |
| Storeys | Main contractor’s Bursa announcement | 31 (“31-floor apartment buildings”) | Named, not adopted |
| Lot number | Superseded filed advertisement | Lot 58461, Jalan Taman Bukit Desa, Taman Desa, 58100 KL | Published as the figure |
| Lot number | Main contractor’s Bursa announcement | Lot 481970 (first phase) | Named, not resolved — and “(first phase)” implies an unmentioned later phase |
The contractor’s own scope — four podium levels and five basement levels — suggests the higher counts may be counting podium or plant plates, but no document reconciles them, so this page does not either. And because four counts circulate, no image caption on this page implies a storey count.
Can a foreigner buy at The Atas?
The honest answer has two halves, and the first one cannot be settled from any public document.
The authority and the floor. The approving authority is Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur, settled from the filed building plan reference DBKL.JKB.BP S1 OSC 2023 3207(23) — the strongest available route, stronger than a postcode or a portal tag. DBKL has Federal Territory jurisdiction, and the register files daerah Kuala Lumpur and negeri WP Kuala Lumpur. So the minimum purchase price for a foreign buyer is RM1,000,000 — the Kuala Lumpur and Federal Territory threshold, with Economic Planning Unit consent — and not Selangor’s RM2,000,000. For completeness, Selangor Zone 1 and Zone 2 are RM2,000,000 and strata only; Selangor Zone 3, meaning Hulu Selangor and Sabak Bernam, is RM1,000,000.
The price test: the band straddles the floor, and the count is undeterminable. The current filed band is RM849,000 to RM1,157,000. The minimum is below the RM1,000,000 floor, at about 84.9% of it; the maximum clears it by RM157,000. No filed document prints a price per type — both generations state one band for all three blocks, and the register files one band per block. Therefore how many of the 624 units clear RM1,000,000 cannot be determined from the public record, and this page offers no estimate. Nobody — not the developer, not a portal, not the press — says that some units here sit below the foreign buyer floor. There is also no earlier registration to check for a band that would have cleared.
The title test, which may decide it regardless of price. A filed Sekatan Kepentingan applies: no transfer, lease, charge or encumbrance without the consent of the Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory Land Executive Committee. That is a consent requirement on the land itself and it bites on every dealing. Tenure is leasehold, 99 years to 30 March 2123, about 97 years remaining — unusually long and genuinely favourable, but it is a lease and the consent requirement attaches to it. These are strata apartments on Schedule H, so the rule barring foreigners from individual-title landed homes does not arise.
What to do: the price test is per unit and cannot be answered from any public document. Get the sale and purchase price for your specific unit in writing, and put both the price question and the consent question to the developer’s solicitor and to the WP Kuala Lumpur land office before paying any deposit. Nobody should be cleared on a price band. Not a price list, not a quotation, not an offer.
Which completion date applies to my unit? I have counted eight different ones
Eight distinct dates are in circulation across seven sources. The one that governs is 11 September 2028.
11 September 2028 is the register’s revised statutory vacant-possession date (serahKosongBaharuIkutPjbPertama), read together with the approved 16-month extension: pindaanTempohSerahKosong: Ya, original period 36 months, extension 16 months, new period 52 months, and 36 + 16 = 52 checks out. The developer’s current filed brochure prints Sept 2028 — the revised date, not the original. Credit that: only a handful of developers in this series disclose their own extension in their own filed advertisement.
The others, and what each is: 11 May 2027 is the original statutory date, 36 months from the first contract of 11 May 2024 — superseded. April 2027 is the superseded brochure’s completion date. About 17 May 2027 is the contractor’s 32-month programme end — our arithmetic on the contractor’s own announcement, and six days after the original statutory date. 29 April 2027 is the advertising and sales permit expiry, which is not a completion date at all but circulates as one because it sits twelve days before the original. Sept 2028 is the current brochure. 2028, year only, is what two portals print.
Get the date for your own unit in writing from the Schedule H agreement. Nothing on a website, a brochure or a register row is a substitute for the date in your contract.
What does it cost, and why does the register show a different price from the brochure?
The filed statutory price range is RM849,000 to RM1,157,000, stated as one band for all three blocks in the current filed advertisement particulars. Not a price list, not a quotation, not an offer. It is the filed sale and purchase price range, nothing more and nothing less.
The register shows something different because its band is a splice. Two of its three rows file RM808,000 to RM1,157,000, which pairs the superseded generation’s minimum with the current generation’s maximum — a combination that matches no filed advertisement. Its third row files RM818,000, which matches neither generation. Portals scrape the register, so the RM808,000 figure in public circulation is a superseded filed minimum, RM41,000 below what the developer has actually filed.
Why there is no per-unit figure here. No filed document prints a price per type, so any per-unit number would be an invention. For the figure on your specific unit, ask for the price list and the sale and purchase agreement at the sales gallery. Anything beyond the filed range is a conversation with Louis, not a web page — and this page carries a separate note in the register section explaining exactly what it will not publish and why.
How many units are left?
Two government-derived figures exist, they are 147 units apart, and they are also 15 months apart — so they are not necessarily inconsistent. Both are printed here with their dates. Neither is today’s stock.
The current filed advertisement records Baki Unit — units remaining — as 249 unsold: Blok A 103, Blok B 89, Blok C 57. That filing is dated about 27 May 2025, and it works out at 375 of 624 sold, about 60.1%. propertysifu, citing the KPKT filing as at 28 August 2026, reports 522 of 624 sold, i.e. 102 unsold, about 83.7%.
And one attributed quote belongs beside them. Deputy managing director Jayden Gan Kuok Chyuan told The Star on 12 May 2024 that he expected a complete sell-out by the end of that year. The developer’s own filed advertisement roughly a year later records 249 units still unsold. The quote is attributed and the filed figure is printed; the reader can draw the conclusion. For current availability, ask Louis — no public source has it.
What will the maintenance charge be?
36 sen per square foot per month, excluding a 10% sinking fund. This is press-sourced, not filed — The Edge Malaysia, May 2024 — and it is one of the few numbers a buyer in this market can almost never find, so it is published here with its provenance attached.
On the filed built-ups that comes to roughly RM416 a month for 1,156 sq ft, RM476 for 1,321 sq ft and RM546 for 1,518 sq ft, before the sinking fund. That multiplication is ours, on a press rate.
The caveats are real. It is a 2024 press figure, it is not contractually fixed, and the filed documents print no service charge at all. The management corporation, the service charge and the sinking fund as actually contracted are not published anywhere, and the Schedule H by-laws are not public at this stage. Ask for the current figure and the budget in writing.
Is The Atas the same thing as Aetas Taman Desa, or as Aetas Seputeh?
No, and no. These are three separate developments by two unrelated developer groups, and the confusion is live in the market. Atas is Malay for upmarket; Aetas is Avaland’s product line. One letter apart, same part of Kuala Lumpur, nothing to do with each other.
| The Atas (this page) | Aetas Taman Desa | Aetas Seputeh | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Developer | Kaisar Maxim Sdn. Bhd. (978433-P), a Maxim Global Berhad company | MCT Bhd, now Avaland Berhad | MCT Bhd / Avaland Berhad |
| Registration | Residensi The Atas, KPKT 19088-3 | no KPKT registration found | a separate scheme with its own page on this site |
| Parcel | 3.6 acres, one site, Lot 58461, Jalan Taman Bukit Desa | 3.9 acres across three parcels | 1.57 acres |
| Tenure | LEASEHOLD 99 years, expiring 30 Mar 2123 | FREEHOLD | freehold |
| Units | 624 in three blocks of 208 | 236 family-sized condominium units | 126 boutique apartments |
| Gross development value | RM580 million | about RM500 million | RM504 million at launch |
| Land price and date | not published | RM64.6 million, announced 2 Mar 2023 | RM58 million, announced 23 Feb 2023 |
| Status | launched 11 May 2024, 33.27% built, Lewat | tentatively named; no permit, no registration, no launch found | launched 13 June 2024 |
Tenure alone settles it: freehold cannot be the same title as a 99-year lease. The unit counts, the developer groups, the parcel structures and the land prices all agree with that conclusion, and the two Aetas land acquisitions were announced seven days apart for different acreages and different prices. Aetas Seputeh has its own page on this site and it is correct as it stands. Keep these apart too: The Address and Residensi The Address II, the two completed phases on The Atas’s own licence; M Aspira, a Mah Sing scheme in the same neighbourhood; and a separate 1,236-unit Taman Desa project for Builtamont Development Sdn Bhd that shares only a contractor.
Is it low density, as the developer says?
Not on the only acreage anybody publishes. 624 units on 3.6 acres works out at 173.3 units per acre. The acreage is press and portal, not filed — The Edge Malaysia and PropertyGuru, and the figure arrives attached to the same street the superseded filing prints for Lot 58461, which is what makes it usable. The density itself is our arithmetic on that press acreage, and there is no filed denominator at all: Keluasan Tanah is not printed in either generation and the register files 0 mps, which was checked here and is genuinely a not-filed value rather than an area.
Neither corroboration route could be run: no land-transaction record for this site was found, and no gross floor area or plot ratio is published by anyone. PropertyGuru repeats the claim in a worse form — “a low density of just 624 units” — which describes a count as a density.
What is genuinely distinctive here needs no arithmetic: every one of the 624 units is 1,156 sq ft or larger with at least three bedrooms and three bathrooms. There is no studio, no one-bedroom and no sub-1,000 sq ft unit in the filed schedule. That is the honest version of the claim: large units, not low density.
Is it green certified? Has it won any awards?
No to both, and this page says so rather than leaving the sections out.
Green. No GreenRE certification is recorded for this project or this licensee. The Platinum register closed cleanly at 95 rows — a genuine clean negative. Gold, Silver and Bronze were each truncated, so for those the honest statement is no entry in the reachable portion. The Bronze certification-entry list was read at depth and covered 266 entries from April 2024 to December 2025 — a window that covers this project’s permit date and launch — with no match. One limitation stated honestly: the Silver certification-entry list only reaches July 2025 and therefore misses its own table’s February 2026 row. The developer claims no green rating on any surface; its only environmental items are an EV charging bay and a pet-friendly corner, and where The Edge records an officer speaking to sustainability features, no scheme, rating or certification is named.
And here is the decoy, named so it cannot migrate. The GreenRE Silver register does carry THE ADDRESS JOHOR BAHRU – RESIDENSI MAXIM PELANGI, developer Maxim Pelangi Sdn Bhd, provisional, February 2026 — same group, same “The Address” marketing name as this licence’s two completed siblings, but a different licensee in a different state. It says nothing about any home in Taman Desa.
Awards. None found for Residensi The Atas, for The Address, for The Address II, for Kaisar Maxim Sdn. Bhd. or for Maxim Global Berhad. The one thing a project at a third complete could legitimately hold is a CIDB QLASSIC workmanship score, which is not a design or sustainability award — and no QLASSIC result for this project or either sibling was found. The group’s own website is closed to automated reading, so an awards page there, if it exists, could not be checked.
How many car park bays do I get?
Nobody publishes a number. Tempat Letak Kereta is absent from both filed generations and from the register. The developer’s microsite names the level — LG5 — and gives no count. PropertyGuru tags “covered car park” and “parking” with no number.
The only published description of the car park anywhere is the main contractor’s scope of works, which names four podium levels and five basement levels dedicated to parking facilities — and gives no bay count. So the number of bays, and the allocation per unit type, are both unanswerable from the public record. Ask for the allocation in writing before you book, because on a 1,156 to 1,518 sq ft unit mix it is a material term.
Is it gated and guarded? What security is actually committed?
A guard house. That is the whole of the filed security provision, and this page will not stretch it. The superseded filed facilities legend carries rumah pengawal, a guard house, and the developer’s microsite lists “Guard House” on the ground floor.
No source commits to a gated-and-guarded scheme, to 24-hour manned security, to CCTV coverage or to an access-control system. PropertyGuru does not even tag 24-hour security among its facilities for this project. A portal facility tag is not a filed commitment, and this page does not repeat one as if it were. If security provision matters to you, ask for the security scope and the security budget in writing — and note that the management corporation and its budget are not published at this stage either.
What exactly is a Sekatan Kepentingan, and what will it cost me?
It is a restriction in interest endorsed on the land title, and on this land it means the land cannot be transferred, leased, charged or encumbered without the consent of the Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory Land Executive Committee. The current filed advertisement carries it; the superseded generation does not.
Why it matters to every owner, not just foreign ones. Because it attaches to the land rather than to a class of buyer, it bites on every dealing: every resale, every lease, and every charge — which means every refinancing. In practice that is an application, a fee, a timeline and a risk of delay each time. It is also the single strongest foreign-buyer signal available in a Malaysian filing.
Ask for the consent process, the expected timeline, the fee and who pays it — in writing, before you book. A buyer’s solicitor should see the title search and the endorsement itself, not a brochure line about it.
Who is the developer, really? I have seen four different names
The company you contract with is KAISAR MAXIM SDN. BHD., company number 978433-P, KPKT developer code 19088. That is the licensee in both filed advertisements, in the register and in the microsite’s own footer. Everything else is a parent, an affiliate or a mistake.
Maxim Global Berhad (Bursa 4022, formerly Tadmax Resources Berhad) is the listed parent named by The Star, The Edge and the microsite’s disclaimer. One portal puts that parent name in its developer field while carrying Kaisar Maxim’s own licence and permit numbers — that is wrong, and it matters, because the licensee is who the Ministry holds the licence against. Maxim Holdings Sdn Bhd is a third name, appearing in the microsite’s registration-consent text and in the 2020 report on the sibling scheme.
And the one to be careful with: MAXIM HEIGHTS SDN. BHD. is a Mah Sing company, not part of this group — its register address is at Wisma Mah Sing and its e-mail domain is Mah Sing’s. That is a name-only match, and a dangerous one, because Mah Sing’s own M Aspira is the project next door in Taman Desa. The genuine Maxim Global fingerprint in the register is the Jalan SS 6/6 Kelana Jaya address with a maximglobal.com.my e-mail domain.
Are all 624 units covered by the housing licence?
Yes — every one of them, and that is worth crediting. The register carries three component rows of 208 units each, 3 × 208 = 624, which is the marketed total on every source. The serial walk ends at -3 and the register’s own phase count agrees at 3, so there is no dormant twin, no cancelled-permit record and no permit-less sibling. All three rows are registered Rumah Pangsa/Kondo on Jadual H and all three carry bedroom counts, so all three blocks are residential.
In practice that means a Schedule H sale and purchase agreement, the statutory liquidated-damages formula for late delivery, the section 7A housing development account, the statutory defects liability period and the Homebuyer Tribunal all apply to your apartment.
But the gap is real, it is just not in the unit count. The shop, the laundrette, the cafeteria, the daycare and the kindergarten in the filed facilities legend have no stated housing-licence status. Neither does the Tenaga Nasional substation unit. And the main contractor’s scope of works names an additional developer’s apartment unit on the rooftop of Block C — on that wording a 625th apartment, retained by the developer, which appears in no filed advertisement, in no register row and nowhere in the marketing. This page states it as exactly that: a unit named only in a contractor’s scope. None of those spaces carries housing-accommodation protection for a buyer, and no document says who will own or operate any of them.
Get the filed particulars for The Atas, not the brochure version
The register flags this project late at 33.27% built, its two filed advertisement generations disagree on seven fields, the public price band is a splice of the two, and a 625th apartment exists in a contractor’s scope and nowhere else. None of that is a reason not to buy. It is a reason to ask better questions. Louis will put them to the developer in writing and send you the answers.
