Setia Federal Hill is Malaysia’s first development to achieve LEED ND V4 Platinum certification

• Based on Setia Federal Hill’s masterplan submitted in 2023, the certification process involved a series of evaluations, with its criteria including smart location and linkage, neighbourhood design, green infrastructure and buildings, innovation, and regional relevance.

SHAH ALAM (July 16): Setia Federal Hill in Bangsar has been awarded the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Neighbourhood Development (LEED ND) Platinum certification.

Setia Federal Hill by S P Setia is the first development in Malaysia to achieve the highest rating under the LEED ND V4 framework, conferred by the US Green Building Council (USGBC).

“This certification affirms our deep commitment to building sustainable, resilient, and inclusive communities. It is a testament to our collective vision, dedication, and collaboration that brought Setia Federal Hill to life, and we are honoured to receive this recognition,” said S P Setia executive vice president Liong Kok Kit at the award ceremony.

“Known as the highest rating awarded by the USGBC, this is a significant milestone, not only for Setia but also for the advancement of sustainable urban developments in Malaysia,” he added.

The ceremony was attended by Setia chief strategy officer Lindayani Tajuddin, and Setia Federal Hill’s appointed consultant, DME Solutions director Dr Joseph Kong.

Based on Setia Federal Hill’s masterplan submitted in 2023, the certification process involved a series of evaluations, with its criteria including smart location and linkage, neighbourhood design, green infrastructure and buildings, innovation, and regional relevance.

The overall Setia Federal Hill’s masterplan envisions a future-ready, walkable, low-carbon community with integrated environmental strategies to support Malaysia’s broader sustainability goals. This certification strengthens Setia’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) credentials, market positioning, and enhances its appeal to buyers and investors seeking climate-aligned developments, stated S P Setia in a media release.

Sprawling on 52-acre tract, Setia Federal Hill has an estimated GDV of RM1.4 billion and will comprise two residential towers with approximately 1,300 units. Partnering with Mitsui Fudosan, its first tower, Parkside Residences is slated to be launched in the second half of 2025.
