The Atas

The Atas is a low-density condominium on Jalan Desa Utama in Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur, made up of three 27-storey towers and 624 units in total. Every layout starts at 1,156 sq ft and runs up to 1,518 sq ft, which puts The Atas in a bracket most new KL high-rises abandoned years ago: genuinely family-sized apartments, from 3+1 rooms to 4+1 rooms, in a mature neighbourhood 4 km from Mid Valley. The developer is Maxim, and expected completion is September 2028.

Quick answer: The Atas is a Leasehold High Rise Condominium development by Maxim in Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur. It offers 624 units with 3+1 to 4+1 bedroom layouts, from 1,156 to 1,518 sq ft, with completion targeted for September 2028.

Three Towers, Eight Units a Floor

The scheme is arranged as Tower A, Tower B and Tower C sitting in a row along the site, each rising 27 storeys with eight units per floor and three lifts serving every core. That works out to 208 units per tower. Eight units to a floor on a plate this wide means most apartments are corner or near-corner units, and the two long elevations are deliberately oriented so that one side faces the KL city skyline and the other looks back across Taman Desa and Desa Water Park.

Low density is the point rather than a slogan. 624 homes across three towers on a site that also carries a full facilities deck is a far lighter loading than the 1,000-plus unit towers that have gone up around Old Klang Road and Kuchai Lama, and it shows up in daily life: lift waits, car park queues, and how busy the pool actually is on a Saturday.

Unit Types at The Atas

Four layouts, and the range between them is narrower than most projects — there is no studio, no compact one-bedroom, and no serviced-apartment shoebox. The smallest home here is 1,156 sq ft.

The A1, B1, C1 and D1 designations are the mirrored versions of the same plan on the opposite side of the lift core — same area, same room count, flipped orientation. Which one you want depends on whether you would rather wake up to the city or to the green side of Taman Desa.

Layout & Floor Plan

Type A / A1 — 1,156 sq ft, 3+1 rooms, 3 bathrooms. The entry sequence runs foyer, then a utility and wash area off the kitchen, keeping laundry out of the living space. Master bedroom with its own bath, two further bedrooms, and a fourth flexible room that most families use as a study or a helper’s room. One balcony off the living area, two car park bays.

Type B / B1 — 1,156 sq ft, 3+1 rooms, 3 bathrooms. The same area as Type A but a different arrangement: the bedrooms cluster more tightly around the living zone and the lanai sits on the opposite face. If you want the identical square footage with a shorter walk between kitchen and dining, this is the one to compare against A.

Type C / C1 — 1,321 sq ft, 4 rooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 balconies. The most interesting plan in the building, and the reason the brochure talks about multigenerational living. Type C carries two master bedrooms, each with an ensuite, at opposite ends of the plan. That makes three genuinely different household arrangements possible under one roof — a couple with grown children, two couples sharing, or parents living with an adult child’s family, each with a private suite instead of one master and three ordinary rooms. Three car park bays.

Type D / D1 — 1,518 sq ft, 4+1 rooms, 4 bathrooms. The largest home at The Atas and the only one with four bathrooms. Four bedrooms plus the flexible room, a separate wash area, and a lanai off the living space. Three car park bays. This is the plan for a family that is not planning to move again.

Every unit is delivered with porcelain tiles to living, dining and entrance areas, laminate composite flooring to bedrooms, porcelain tiles to bathrooms, kitchen and utility, bathroom walls tiled to ceiling height and kitchen walls to 1.5 m. Windows are aluminium framed; the structure is reinforced concrete throughout.

53 Facilities Across Four Levels

The facilities are split over four levels rather than stacked on one deck, which keeps the noisy things away from the quiet ones.

• LG5 floor — tennis court, half basketball court, children’s playground, pavilion, foot reflexology path, outdoor fitness stations, jogging path, pet-friendly corner, car wash area
• Ground floor — management office, guard house, nursery, kindergarten, guest lounge, letter boxes, EV charging bay

• Rooftop — sky pavilion with skyline views, BBQ area

The development is also built to green-building standards, with rainwater harvesting, a solar system, sensor lighting to staircases and public toilets, and designated EV charging bays.

Location & Connectivity

Taman Desa is one of those KL neighbourhoods that people move into and do not leave. It sits inside the ring formed by the Federal Highway, the New Pantai Expressway and Jalan Kuchai Lama, which means the city is close without the address itself being on a main artery.

Nine highways and expressways are within reach — Salak Highway, Sungai Besi Expressway, SMART Tunnel, NPE, Federal Highway, KL–Seremban Highway, MEX, SPRINT and SPE — with the DUKE 3 alignment planned to add another. Mid Valley Megamall is 4.1 km away, KL Sentral 6.4 km, Bangsar Village 6.7 km, TRX Exchange 8.4 km, Pavilion KL 9.4 km and Suria KLCC 10.1 km. Bandar Malaysia, the future transport-oriented development that will host the KL terminus of the proposed high-speed rail, is 5.6 km away.

On public transport, the nearest bus stop at Taman Bukit Desa is 210 m from the site and connects onward to the MRT. KTM Seputeh is 1.7 km, LRT Kerinchi 4.8 km, MRT Kuchai 5.5 km, and the KLIA Ekspres at KL Sentral 7.6 km. Terminal Bersepadu Selatan is 9.4 km for intercity coaches.

For schools, Desa Perdana Secondary School is 900 m away, SMK Taman Desa 1.1 km, Vikas International School 2 km, SJK(C) Choong Wen 2.5 km, Alice Smith International School 5.9 km and Universiti Malaya 7 km. On healthcare, Taman Desa Medical Centre is 1.7 km, Pantai Medical Centre 5.6 km, Prince Court Hospital 8.5 km and Gleneagles 11.9 km. Everyday needs are closer still: De Market is 1 km and both Public Bank and Hong Leong Bank are within 1.6 km.
