The station stands at the northern gateway to Kajang town, along Jalan Cheras (which is part of Malaysia Federal Route 1 ) and just south of the southern end of the Grand Saga Expressway . Near this station is a branch of Tesco Extra hypermarket, as well as the KPJ Kajang Specialist Hospital and the Hulu Langat district education department.

During construction, the station was first provisionally named Saujana Impian, then Sungai Kantan, after the nearby housing project of Saujana Impian and Kampung Sungai Kantan village. This is one of two stations serving Kajang's town centre, the other being Stadium Kajang.

All levels are linked by lifts, stairways and escalators.
