Going Forward

As sturdy as Mont Kiara is, there are several areas that could be improved. The issues of connectivity, traffic congestion (like many other parts of Klang Valley) and the scarcity of land, are things that everyone concerns in Mont Kiara.

To solve the congestion issue, there are plans to open up alternate route parallel to Jalan Kiara between Plaza Mont Kiara and Lanai Kiara, leading towards Segambut which will be connecting at the intersection between MK28 and Mont Kiara Meridin. This new route will bypass the schools and commercial areas, simultaneously diverting traffic away from Jalan Kiara, especially during peak hours.

The construction of MRTS Circle Line that connects East Sentul, Mid Valley, Bangsar, Mont Kiara, Matrade Centre and Ampang, is expected to improve Mont Kiara connectivity. The line is expected to boost up housing and rental values as well as occupancy rates of areas within proximity of the stations. Mont Kiara will definitely reap the spillover benefit of the new line.

Besides, Prime minister has just launched KL Metropolis which will be the largest Meetings, Incentives, Conventions & Exhibitions (MICE) destination in Malaysia after the likes such as KLCC. This Naza TTDI development of KL Metropolis, will significantly contribute into turning Kuala Lumpur a world class city. There will be a MRT station on the southern boundary of KL Metropolis side, and this will increase the connectivity and accessibility in Mont Kiara.
