Filmed at the show unit in April 2026, while the project was still being built. Finishes, prices and surroundings may have changed since.
What sets it apart
Ikon Residences has 778 units on 4.6 acres of freehold land, on commercial title above 15 shops. Residents have their own lanes and elevated car park, separate from the shoppers' basement, and a ground-floor kindergarten has a public entrance so it can draw children from outside. The level-seven deck has an infinity pool, an elevated gym, a co-working space, and a fire staircase decorated as a vertical jogging track.
Layouts range from studios to 990 sq ft two-bedrooms and a 1,184 sq ft three-bedroom dual key, with versions that have a hackable wall or wheelchair-friendly bathroom access. Sean viewed the 764 sq ft two-bedroom Type B, whose second bedroom is larger than the master. Prices average about RM500 psf, from RM220,000 for a studio.
Where it is
The project faces the new Ikon commercial centre in Seremban 2, near S2 Sentral, Mydin, Uptown Avenue and AEON Mall, with a Starbucks, Uniqlo, McDonald's and a Village Grocer under construction. Schools, the City Park and a specialist hospital under construction are close. Seremban 2 is also on the way to KLIA, and Sean links demand to the Malaysia Vision Valley growth corridor.
A kindergarten open to the public
Kindergartens tucked inside condo facilities rarely survive on residents' children alone, so this one is on the ground floor with its own road and entrance for families from outside. Sean calls it fabulous: the project is integrated with the neighbourhood from the start.
3 on 3
The three things Sean likes and the three he doesn't, from his own list at the end of the episode.
- 1A mature township: Seremban 2 has run out of land for landed homes, so high-rise is the next step, and buying from the township developer protects early buyers' interests.
- 2Convenience at the doorstep: shop lots, standalone retail, a mall and 15 shops of its own, all walkable, unlike landed homes where you must drive.
- 3Design: a wide buffer and water feature against road noise, the slope used for a commercial basement, a big facility deck, a co-working space for those who travel to KL, and many layout options.
- 1High-rise living in Seremban: cheap landed homes are long gone, but buyers may still compare this price with a landed house, and condo living may be a culture shock for locals.
- 2The micro site: four-lane roads where cars speed, and crowds around the shops, so it will be noisier than a landed home.
- 3The mixed development: thriving shops mean congestion at the entrance, which drivers from one direction can only reach by passing the shopfronts; failing shops would hurt the project's image.
Sean says that for buyers too late for landed homes in Seremban 2, this is the option now, with smaller units for investors and larger ones for own stay.

Sources & Verification Data
Based on Sean's full English captions for this April 2026 episode. The 3 on 3 follows the three things he likes and the three concerns he names, in his order, at the end of the video. The developer's team showed Sean the show units at the sales gallery and the nearly finished site. Rents and a studio size he quotes are unclear in the captions, so they are left out.
