Where we do not have a verified published fact for this building, we keep the wording narrow and tell you what to confirm on the live listing rather than inventing a number.

Who Harvard Tower suits — and who should look elsewhere
Harvard Tower fits tenants working in or near Cyberjaya who are comfortable driving or bus-feeding to MRT rather than walking to it; tenants who need a walkable rail commute or more than 1,000 sqft should look elsewhere.
It fits you if you are
- Working in Cyberjaya (MSC companies, Cyberjaya City Centre, nearby campuses) and want to live close to the office corridor
- Comfortable with a compact 450–1,000 sqft serviced-apartment footprint
- OK driving, ride-hailing, or taking a feeder bus (T507/T512/T523) to reach Cyberjaya City Centre MRT rather than walking
- Fine with a mixed-use building that has 58 retail units in the same development
- Looking for ZD eligibility, no-agent-fee, or a verified-listing workflow on SPEEDHOME
Look elsewhere if you are
- Car-free and need a building genuinely within walking distance of an MRT station — Harvard Tower is not one
- Need a very specific school zone or a specific commute to a different corridor
- Have a family that needs more bedrooms or outdoor space than a 450–1,000 sqft serviced apartment offers
- Want a quiet residential block rather than a mixed retail-residential development with 58 retail units below
Honest drawbacks of Harvard Tower
The main trade-offs to verify at Harvard Tower are the 1.5km gap to the nearest MRT, which of the three towers (Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge) your unit is in, parking allocation, and furnishing inventory.
- No walkable MRT — Cyberjaya City Centre MRT (Putrajaya Line) is roughly 1.5km away. You'll need the T507/T512/T523 feeder bus, a car, or a ride-hail; do not plan around a walk-to-station commute.
- Which tower you're actually in — Garden Plaza has three towers (Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge) sharing the same address. Confirm which tower and floor your listing refers to before viewing.
- Parking bay inclusion — resident parking exists on site, but bay allocation and whether it's included in rent varies by listing. Confirm in writing before signing.
- Furnishing inventory — confirm furnishing level on the specific listing; photograph every item and surface at handover.
- Retail-floor traffic and noise — 58 retail units sit within the development; units closer to the retail podium may carry more daytime foot traffic and noise than higher floors.
What to check before viewing and signing
Confirm the commute from your specific block, test water pressure and aircon, check parking bay inclusion, and pay only to verified accounts. Take dated handover photos before moving in.
| Item to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Real commute route | Driving time varies by destination and peak hour — test it before signing |
| Parking bay | Confirm whether the bay is included in rent or priced separately |
| Water pressure | Multi-floor buildings can have pressure variation; test in bathrooms and kitchen |
| Aircon condition | Test all units; repair or replacement is a common dispute point |
| Furnishing inventory | Photograph every item and surface before move-in |
| Payment route | Verify the landlord or agent through the SPEEDHOME platform before paying — never cash only or to an unverified personal account |
| Stamped tenancy agreement | Do not move in without a stamped TA; stamping is via e-Duti Setem on MyTax |
| Tower confirmation | Confirm in writing which tower (Harvard, Oxford, or Cambridge) and floor your unit is in |
| Access card fee | Some developments charge separately for the access card or replacements; confirm up front |
Use the move-in and move-out checklist to prepare a complete handover record. Dated, acknowledged photos are your main protection if a dispute arises at the end of the tenancy.

Renting at Harvard Tower with Zero Deposit

FAQ
How much rent should I expect to pay at Harvard Tower in 2026?
Indicative asking rent varies by unit size and floor across the 450–1,000 sqft range. Smaller units at the lower end of that range typically command the lowest asking rents; larger units near 1,000 sqft sit at the upper end. Check the live SPEEDHOME listing for the current asking on the specific unit — published portal ranges are indicative only.
Is Harvard Tower pet-friendly?
Pet policy is set by the joint management body, not published at the building-name level. Ask for the house rules in writing and check with the management office before you apply or move a pet in.
Are units at Harvard Tower furnished or unfurnished?
Furnishing level is not standardised across the development — confirm the inventory list on the live listing and photograph every item at handover.
Is Harvard Tower near an MRT station?
No MRT station is within walking distance. The nearest is Cyberjaya City Centre MRT on the Putrajaya Line, approximately 1.5km from Garden Plaza, reachable by feeder bus lines T507, T512 or T523. If you need a walkable rail commute, this building is not a fit.
What is the typical deposit at Harvard Tower?
Standard market practice in the Klang Valley is two months' rent as the security deposit, plus half a month's rent as the utility deposit, plus the first month's rent in advance — so 3.5 months' value of cash to move in for a furnished unit. On eligible SPEEDHOME listings, Zero Deposit replaces the security-deposit leg; the utility deposit and rent in advance still apply. Eligibility is per listing, not building-wide.
Can I rent at Harvard Tower with Zero Deposit?
Zero Deposit options are available through SPEEDHOME on selected listings. Zero Deposit is a managed rental-risk system — it replaces the upfront cash deposit; you remain responsible for the condition of the unit at move-out. Check live listings to confirm which units qualify — not every unit is eligible.
