Analysis

There are numerous tertiary education institutions in the area, having Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Universiti Industri Selangor (UNISEL), and University College Sedaya International (UCSI). The business centre could potentially draw some patronage from the students, as all three universities are less than 2 kilometers away. Cahaya Alam, which is the adjacent development could potentially generate more interest to Desa Alam as well, as it was just finished recently.

Cahaya Alam is also a nature-themed, low-density development, which features the longest “Linear Park” in Shah Alam. All units are ecofriendly, and the roads have cul-de-sacs to limit the volume of traffic into the development. Desa Alam does seem to offer more value as the 5-acre lake really is something magnificent to wake up to everyday.
