The station stands at the northern gateway to Kajang town, along Jalan Cheras (which is part of Malaysia Federal Route 1 Federal Route 1) and just south of the southern end of the Grand Saga Expressway Cheras–Kajang Expressway. There is a Lotus's Kajang branch, as well as the KPJ Kajang Specialist Hospital and the Hulu Langat district education department located in the vicinity.

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.
