Jalan Klang Lama, or better known as Old Klang Road, is rapidly developing despite having the word “old” in the English version of its name. Constructed by the British Federated Malay States in 1908, this road is not only one of the oldest, but it was also a historically significant road in Kuala Lumpur because it was believed to be the only link that will connect Kuala Lumpur to Port Klang, which is located at the southern end of the Selangor’s coastline a few decades ago. In the old days, Old Klang Road started from the Public Bank building of Jalan Syed Putra, which was formerly known as Lornie Drive. Influenced and spurred by the constant development and town-planning of Old Klang Road, today, this is a road that stretches from Mid-Valley Megamall, the longest mall in Asia, to Guinness Anchor Berhad Brewery with a distance of 11km.

Despite the road-widening works done on Old Klang Road, it is still considered as one of the busiest roads leading to Kuala Lumpur from Jalan Puchong. It still manages to attract big property developers such as MRCB and UOA to invest in this location.

“This is a fantastic area in terms of accessibility. It is a middle point for travelling to many places within Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. Many of the commercial activities such as food and beverage centres, and entertainment outlets, which provide many job opportunities, can be found here. There are also many notable landmarks in Old Klang Road such as Scott Garden, Pearl Point and Mid Valley Megamall, which are situated at the end of the Old Klang Road. However, sooner or later, the landmarks will soon be redefined as few other significant projects will be built, such as 9 Seputeh by MRCB,” said Oregeon Property Consultancy director Sr. Kok Chin Yee.

Looking at Google map, one would realise that the area is actually a prime location in the sense that it is cocooned within the commercial and retail hubs of Bangsar, KL Sentral and Mid Valley.
