KVMRT

General 
Prices of houses located near proposed MRT Line are set to get a boost.

300m to 500m is the comfortable distance for people to walk to the MRT stations.

The increase will likely come nearer the completion date.

In Singapore, the premium could be as high as 30 per cent, depending on how close the residential unit is and market conditions.

The first Sungai Buloh-Kajang line has 51km in total length of which 9.5km — including seven of the 31 stations — will be underground. Thirteen of these stations are expected to have the park-and-ride facilities.

The Sungai Buloh-Kajang line is targeted to serve a catchment of 1.2 million people.

Contractors for the KVMRT projects had to allocate about 3% to 5% from their total contract value for the improved safety, health and environment measures.

MRT Corp has yet to estimate the cost of the SBK line although earlier projections were at RM40 billion including land acquisition which has delayed the start of the project.

Construction of the SBK line will begin in the second or third quarter 2012 and is scheduled to be completed by end-2016, with services commencing in January 2017.
