Symphony Tower (Menara Simfoni) is a freehold serviced residence in Balakong, Seri Kembangan, built by Cheras Hong Soon Development Sdn Bhd — a car-first fit for the Balakong / Cheras Selatan corridor rather than walk-to-rail commuters.

The public record identifies 3 towers totalling 1,675 units — 616 SOHO units of 486 sq ft and 1,059 serviced apartments of 951-1,114 sq ft — launched 2015 and completed circa 2018-2019 by Cheras Hong Soon Development, on an 8-acre site adjacent to the SILK Highway. Furnishing, floor level, parking allocation and what the landlord includes in utilities all shift the live listing by hundreds of ringgit at the same address. Check the specific unit before viewing or committing.
No MRT, LRT or KTM station is within walkable distance of Symphony Tower — plan a car or e-hailing commute and time the actual route before signing.
Recorded facilities include a swimming pool, gymnasium, sauna, badminton court, BBQ area, multi-functional hall and kindergarten. As of 2026, monthly rent on SPEEDHOME's active Balakong / Seri Kembangan listings varies widely by layout — check the live listing rather than relying on a building-level figure.
Tenancy law is the same as anywhere else in Malaysia: the agreement and general contract law (Contracts Act 1950), with stamp duty and adjudication routes through MyTax. As of 2026 the proposed Residential Tenancy Act is still a draft Bill, not yet tabled in Parliament, so rights and obligations come from the tenancy agreement and the courts — there is no dedicated residential tenancy tribunal.
What should you check before signing at Symphony Tower?
Verify the exact unit, not just the building name. Furnishing level, parking allocation, internet provider and the access-card process differ unit by unit — confirm each at viewing, not from the listing description alone.
A good viewing at any Symphony Tower unit covers:
- Air-conditioning — switch on every unit, confirm it cools, and ask for the most recent service record
- Water pressure — test all bathrooms and the kitchen tap at the same time
- Appliances and furniture — check every item on the furnished list against what is physically in the unit
- Parking — confirm the exact bay number, whether it is covered, and visitor-parking rules
- Access cards — how many are included, replacement cost, and whether the JMB requires owner registration before move-in
- Mobile and internet signal — check inside the bedrooms and at the parking level
- Handover photos — take dated photos of every wall, fitting and appliance before signing the tenancy agreement
Pay rent only to a company account or the named owner on the title — never to a third party based on a listing alone.

How does renting at Symphony Tower with Zero Deposit work?
Selected Symphony Tower listings on the platform offer Zero Deposit — no upfront cash deposit required at move-in. Not every unit qualifies; confirm on the live listing before expecting it.
Zero Deposit is a managed rental-risk system, not a financial guarantee product. It replaces the upfront cash deposit; in the rare case of severe end-of-tenancy damage the recoverable amount can be limited. SPEEDHOME-managed tenancies on Zero Deposit show a roughly 70% on-time rental rate (Q1 2026 platform records) — the deposit method does not change what the tenant owes, only when the cash is paid.

FAQ
How much is rent at Symphony Tower right now?
The live Balakong, Seri Kembangan listing on SPEEDHOME is the current price, not a building-level figure. Furnishing, floor, parking bays and what the landlord includes in utilities shift the figure by hundreds of ringgit at the same address. Check the unit-specific listing before viewing or committing.
Is Symphony Tower walkable to a station?
No — no mrt, lrt or ktm station is within walkable distance of symphony tower — plan a car or e-hailing commute and time the actual route before signing. Time the actual route on a weekday before relying on any "near station" wording in a listing.
Is Symphony Tower a good fit for families with school-age children?
Workable if the daily school run is reachable by car or shuttle. For households that need a walk-to-school daily routine, a different Balakong, Seri Kembangan address may suit better. See the Who is Symphony Tower for? section for the fit checklist.
What should a landlord at Symphony Tower do if the tenant stops paying?
The lawful route is the same as anywhere in Malaysia: serve a written cure notice, terminate under the tenancy agreement clause if unpaid, and proceed through the civil courts. SPEEDHOME-managed tenancies follow the platform's default-management process (cure notice, then mediation) before any court step; for non-SPEEDHOME tenancies the landlord runs the same notice-then-court path directly. Locking the tenant out or disconnecting water or electricity is unlawful under section 7(2) of the Specific Relief Act 1950, regardless of what the tenancy agreement says.
How does Symphony Tower compare with other Balakong, Seri Kembangan condominiums?
The honest answer is that the comparison depends on layout, furnishing and what the landlord includes — not the building name. Browse the live Balakong, Seri Kembangan rentals on SPEEDHOME for the unit-by-unit shortlist.
