Shaftsbury Residence is a freehold serviced apartment and SOHO component within a mixed development in Cyber 6, Cyberjaya.

What is Shaftsbury Residence?
Shaftsbury Residence — also searched as Shaftsbury Residences, Shaftsbury Square Residence or Shaftsbury Square Cyberjaya — is a freehold serviced-apartment / SOHO component within a mixed development in Cyber 6, Cyberjaya, with public sources supporting Shaftsbury Capital / iKHASAS involvement, completion around 2013, and the retail/food convenience of Shaftsbury Square and the nearby D'Pulze area. Unit-count sources conflict between the residence subset and the broader mixed scheme, so treat any single unit-count figure with caution until confirmed at viewing. The managed-portfolio experience across over 30,000 Malaysian tenancy agreements shows that for Cyberjaya mixed-development blocks like this one, the right fit is the right block and the right unit — not the building name alone.

How the SPEEDHOME platform works at Shaftsbury Residence
The platform listings at Shaftsbury Residence are individually verified before going live, and the platform has had zero reported rental scams on the platform since April 2026; selected listings carry Zero Deposit — its managed rental-risk system — but not every unit qualifies, and eligibility depends on the listing and screening outcome. Zero Deposit is the platform's managed rental-risk system — not a financial guarantee product — that replaces the upfront cash deposit, so tenants move in without tying up cash while landlords stay protected through rental protection instead of holding a deposit. For severe end-of-tenancy damage beyond fair wear and tear, the standard protection claims process applies.
For landlords at Shaftsbury Residence, SPEEDHOME's managed model handles tenant screening, tenancy-agreement preparation, and rent collection end to end. SPEEDHOME platform data (most recent measured period, 2026): roughly 70% of managed tenants pay rent on or before the due date, and roughly 87% pay within 3 days of the due date.
The full-service landlord fee is 2.19% + SST of monthly rent, payable only once a unit is tenanted. To see which Shaftsbury Residence units are currently listed with Zero Deposit, browse the live filter on All live SPEEDHOME rentals. For the landlord view, see List with SPEEDHOME (landlords).
What should you check before and during the Shaftsbury Residence viewing?
Building name does not guarantee unit quality, parking allocation, or commute time; verify each of these at the viewing before you pay anything. A mixed-development SOHO/serviced-apartment block is only as good as the unit you are about to sign for, and the unit-count ambiguity here makes block-and-floor confirmation more important than usual.
| Checkpoint | What to verify | Why it matters for Shaftsbury Residence |
|---|---|---|
| Commute route | Your real door-to-destination time at your travel hour | MRT Putrajaya Line area relevance, but direct MRT adjacency is not confirmed — drive or transit the route at your real travel hour before signing |
| Highway / road noise | Which side of the building faces the main road and which faces the back | Units fronting Shaftsbury Square / D'Pulze traffic catch more noise — verify at the viewing hour you will actually live with |
| Unit condition | Water pressure, air-conditioning units, windows, ceiling, cabinet doors, tiling | Defects discovered after move-in are harder to resolve |
| Parking | Whether a bay is included, optional, or unavailable in the listing | Parking bay allocation is a common dispute point — confirm in the tenancy agreement before signing |
| Upfront cash | Total move-in cost: deposit, first month's rent, utility transfer fees | Know your full exposure before committing; ask if the listing has Zero Deposit |
| Tenancy terms | Lease duration, break-clause, maintenance fee responsibility | Clarify who pays maintenance charges and how renewal works |
| Building amenities | Current operating state of pool, gym, security, lifts | Advertised facilities are not always in service |
| Sinking fund / special assessment | Current JMB sinking-fund balance and any pending special assessment | A weak sinking fund or pending special assessment will land on the next tenancy |
Who does Shaftsbury Residence fit — and who does it not?
The fit depends on your commute, transport, and what you verify at the viewing; the building name alone is not a fit verdict. Use the bullets below as a sanity check, then verify the specific unit.
- Fits — tenants who work in or near Cyberjaya's tech park and want to walk to Shaftsbury Square's food and retail without a long drive; tenants who will confirm unit condition, parking, and maintenance fee responsibility at viewing; tenants who want a live filtered listing with Zero Deposit on selected units.
- Skip if — you need confirmed walk-to-MRT doorstep access and can't verify the actual distance; you cannot absorb move-in cash before Zero Deposit is confirmed; you need a brand-new unit and a building completed around 2013 doesn't fit that bar.
How Shaftsbury Residence compares with nearby buildings
The most direct comparison is to run the same-day live filter on All live rentals for two or three named buildings in the same sub-area; do not rely on article figures as quoted rent. Asking rents move with the season and the corridor.
| Comparable building | Why compare |
|---|---|
| Shaftsbury Residence (this page) | Anchor building — see live filter on All live SPEEDHOME rentals |
| Other Cyber 6 / Shaftsbury Square SOHO and serviced-apartment blocks | Same mixed-development profile, same retail/food convenience, similar 2013-era completion band |
| D'Pulze-area Cyberjaya condos | Freehold corridor contrast nearby, useful for an age and facility-set comparison |
| Other Cyberjaya stratified blocks on the MRT Putrajaya Line corridor | Useful for a commute-versus-walk-to-MRT trade-off |
When shortlisting, run the same live filter for two or three named buildings and compare the asking ranges on the same day — listing prices move with the season and the corridor.
