Independent buyer guide. Written by DMS Jason Chan (REN 78007). DMS Team markets The ATAS and is paid by its developer; the other projects on this page are listed so you can compare fairly. Figures for projects we do not market come from public sources and are indicative. Confirm every figure with the developer before you rely on it.
Quick answer: Taman Desa has three new or recent high-rise projects that buyers usually compare in 2026: The ATAS (Maxim Global, 624 units, completing August 2028, SPA from RM968,000 for the 1,321 sq ft dual-key layout now selling), M Aspira (Mah Sing, about 1,618 units, compact layouts at a lower entry price) and Kensho Residence (SCP Group, about 310 units, boutique scale). All three are leasehold. The real choice is between larger low-density homes and a lower entry price.
Large development sites are scarce in Taman Desa, so the list of new projects is short. The table below puts the three side by side. The ATAS figures are from the developer’s own sales documents. M Aspira and Kensho figures are from public sources.

The low-density option. 624 homes across three 30-storey towers, with eight units on each floor. The main layout available is the 1,321 sq ft dual-key Type C, with SPA prices from RM968,000.

Suits: families who want space, two-generation households, and buyers who want a residential title.
Think twice if: your budget is under RM900,000, or you need to move in before 2028.
The large, accessible-entry option: about 1,618 units in two towers, with 706, 855 and 1,006 sq ft layouts of two to four bedrooms, launched from RM452,000. It is a serviced apartment, so check the utility tariff class before you sign. We do not market this project, so confirm price and availability with the developer.
Suits: first-time buyers and investors who put entry price first and are comfortable in a large high-rise.
Think twice if: you want a residential title or a low-density building.
The boutique option, with a Japanese-inspired design theme and compact two to three-plus-one bedroom layouts. Public sources indicate it is the earliest of the three to complete. We do not market this project, so confirm status, price and availability with the developer.
Suits: buyers who want a smaller development and an earlier move-in.
Think twice if: you need more than about 1,034 sq ft.
