Malaysia is rapidly reshaping its urban landscape with world-class infrastructure, and one of the most significant catalysts for future growth is the MRT 3 Circle Line. Designed to complete the Klang Valley rail loop, MRT 3 will not only redefine mobility but also unlock new opportunities in the property sector.

The 51.6-kilometre line will loop around Kuala Lumpur and connect with the MRT, LRT, KTM, and Monorail networks through 10 interchange stations. It will feature 33 stations in total—including 7 underground (with 1 provisional) and 26 elevated (with 2 provisional). This extensive coverage is set to enhance accessibility across both mature and emerging neighbourhoods.

Public feedback has been strongly supportive, with 93% in favour during the 2024 inspection. Communities and developers can expect growth corridors to emerge along the alignment, as enhanced connectivity typically drives higher land values, stronger housing demand, and new commercial potential.

With final approval granted in July 2025, land acquisition is now underway. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027, with completion targeted for 2032. Once operational, MRT 3 will ease congestion, shorten commutes, and transform Greater Kuala Lumpur’s property market by creating new growth corridors and investment hotspots.
