Enhanced connectivity for greater economic growth<br />
Commencement of the RM9bil Light<br />
Rail Transit Line Three (LRT 3) project<br />
in 2016, is timely with the next wave<br />
of development <strong>WCT</strong> Land has in store for<br />
Klang South. The mature and established<br />
residential townships of Bandar Bukit<br />
Tinggi 1 & 2 has in place the right mix of<br />
infrastructure and socio-economic diversity<br />
for the emergence of modern integrated<br />
commercial hubs.<br />
The sizeable population here provides<br />
a captured market that is ready and<br />
hungry for mega mixed-development<br />
projects comprised of trendy and<br />
contemporary corporate towers, retail,<br />
commercial, hospitality, and entertainment<br />
establishments.<br />
In anticipation of current market demands,<br />
<strong>WCT</strong> Land will soon be introducing<br />
next-generation concepts of integrated<br />
corporate offices, hotels and retail centres<br />
all seamlessly linked and supported by<br />
a comprehensive public transportation<br />
network.<br />
With these projects in the works, we will<br />
soon see Klang South as Klang Valley’s<br />
new hot-spot for business and leisure with<br />
distance no longer a barrier.<br />
Given the ease of access to Klang<br />
South through numerous highways,<br />
and its strategic location between three<br />
international airports (Subang Airport ,KLIA<br />
and KLIA 2), two seaports (West Port &<br />
North Port) as well as five Komuter train<br />
stations, this high economic growth region<br />
has long been deemed as the promised land<br />
of boundless possibilities, both socially and<br />
economically.<br />
The LRT3 project undeniably adds value<br />
to the attractiveness of Klang South as a<br />
property hot-spot. And why shouldn’t it?<br />
Everything one could ask for in terms of<br />
modern living necessities and conveniences<br />
could be enjoyed here, with cost of living<br />
that is comparatively more affordable than<br />
other parts of the Klang Valley.<br />
Apart from attracting many to reside<br />
or relocate to Klang South, the factors<br />
above have inadvertently opened the<br />
new commercial<br />
HUB emerge<br />
flood gates of property and infrastructure<br />
construction initiatives by other players in<br />
the development industry.<br />
Complementing each other to meet the<br />
diverse and sophisticated needs of the<br />
property market, these initiatives have<br />
driven positive development to the greater<br />
Klang Valley area while addressing the issue<br />
of over congestion in the central regions.<br />
As new commercial and residential<br />
townships emerge, new access routes and<br />
highways are also being constructed for<br />
greater value creation through enhanced<br />
connectivity and<br />
accessibility. Travelling<br />
between various<br />
townships and major<br />
Klang Valley destinations<br />
are getting increasingly<br />
shorter with a lot less<br />
hassle.<br />
<strong>On</strong>e highly anticipated highway development<br />
set to propel the southern Klang<br />
development to the next level is the West<br />
Coast Expressway (WCE). Running parallel<br />
with <strong>WCT</strong> developments along Jalan Langat,<br />
the WCE is a 233km long highway linking<br />
Banting in a straight line to Taiping. This<br />
essentially would make travelling times<br />
from Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, KLIA, Sepang<br />
International Circuit and other destinations<br />
along 21 interchanges in Selangor and<br />
Perak to southern Klang significantly<br />
shorter.<br />
With distance no longer a prohibiting<br />
factor, greater opportunities are presented<br />
for capital appreciation for properties in<br />
southern Klang. Commercial ventures will<br />
benefit from the imminent increase in traffic<br />
flow, and greater demand can be expected<br />
for sale and rental of real estate in general.<br />
