Connectivity to drive real estate market as Johor boosts infrastructure

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 16 — Connectivity will remain a key factor for real estate developers, with states like Johor increasing infrastructure investments and cross-border linkages, according to industry analysis.

Developers are focusing on projects near transport hubs and border areas to capitalize on improved access.

"Infrastructure upgrades are essential for attracting buyers and investors," a real estate analyst said.

Johor's investments aim to enhance economic ties with neighboring Singapore.

Cross-border projects are expected to see higher demand due to these developments.

The trend reflects a broader shift toward location-based value in property markets.

Real estate experts note that connectivity reduces commute times and boosts property values.

Historical data shows infrastructure spending correlates with real estate growth in the region.

Future plans include more highways and public transit expansions in key areas.

Market observers predict sustained interest in well-connected properties over the next decade.
