MRT3 Phase 1 Alignment
The MRT3 Circle Line Phase 1 confirms a new Bangsar station. It will also add a Pantai Dalam station by 2030. Commuters can bypass central city interchanges easily.
Impact on Property Values
Properties near Kerinchi LRT and Universiti LRT already command high demand. The new MRT3 stations will boost capital values by 3% to 5% annually. Early buyers will benefit from the transit premium.
Bangsar vs Bangsar South
Bangsar offers freehold homes but higher prices. Bangsar South offers leasehold options at RM600 to RM980 psf. Both areas will see increased rental interest from corporate tenants.
Our Buying Recommendation
Do not wait until 2030 to make a purchase. Select projects like Parkside Residences or River Park by Malton now. Secured entry prices today ensure better future capital gains.
