Will the newly revived expressway project called Lebuhraya Nilai-Labu-Enstek (NLE) serves as a catalyst for development for towns close to this highway? Towns such as Sepang, Labu, Nilai, Batang Benar, Pajam, Mantin, Lenggeng.

According to media report, the project to build a new express highway from Nilai - Labu to Bandar Enstek and further extension to KLIA, is expected to be fully completed in July 2026.

According to AI:-
Why NLE Still Matters Despite Existing Highways?
◆PLUS is congested and inter-regional, not optimized for local development.
◆LEKAS is helpful, but doesn’t connect directly to KLIA or eastern Nilai/Enstek areas.
◆NLE enables direct economic corridors to logistics hubs, industry parks, and airport zones ~ attractive to investors needing faster access and dedicated infrastructure.

For your information, the NLE highway track is already visible in Google Map and Google Earth, starting from Jalan Pajam-Nilai-Salak.

Please share your thought.

Talks of KLIA connectivity has been around since 2012. Marketing tool used by Sendayan developer. Fast forward 2025, nothing.

Even NLE has been delayed and progressing very slowly.

Not sure what impact this highway is going to provide, there is hardly any traffic around this area. Without the highway itself it only takes less than 30mins to get from the start and endpoint of this NLE which is approx 22km journey.

For someone been living here for the past 11years (Sendayan). This NLE wont bring any significant impact to the area.

Correct. Somehow, while researching for houses (2 storey for my forever home, explicitly said to them I want near to Putrajaya), most of the agents told me to buy Eka Residence (even more before the end of this month). They mentioned the NLE and the proposed MEX2 as their key selling point for road connectivity.

Straight up said no to them. Paiseh 1 hour plus driving is not my forte.

MEX2 not enough cash to proceed

TELL THE AGENT fly kite

enstek industrial park really need a good highway man

Extra accessibility is always good.
The connectivity (linking) major industrial area, logistic hub, commercial areas, KTM, KLIA, future HSR, etc is definitely good. I remember initially there were many skeptical even about the feasibility of shopping malls to be constructed in Nilai, being a new township. Now, people no longer doubt the population growth down south of Selangor. Having said that, development was gradual.

You sound exactly like those property agents selling narratives. Fact remains Nilai, Seremban are "cold" areas. Property prices are stagnant for years. Hardly any hypes and yes future HSR is something 30yrs down the road.

If those agents keep selling MEX2...

Then better just throw eggs into their face...

Noob...

Already in news outlets big big... Got big case Tan Sri involved....

Still want to con people buy there ke

TQ so much for the compliment. I wish I am an agent but I am not.

Perhaps checking out with AI might help.

Would the upcoming Lebuhraya Nilai-Labu-Enstek and extension to KLIA, probably give the property developer more reasons to invest in Batang Benar, Pajam, Mantin and Lenggeng?

ChatGPT said:
Yes — the upcoming Nilai–Labu–Enstek (NLE) Expressway, especially its proposed extension toward KLIA, significantly strengthens the case for property developers to turn their attention to areas like Batang Benar, Pajam, Mantin, and Lenggeng. Here’s why:

🛣️ 1. NLE + KLIA Extension = Major Connectivity Boost
The NLE Expressway, spanning ~16 km and costing ~RM413 million, is slated for completion soon, with an extension directly linking to KLIA
This highway dramatically improves access to KLIA, Nilai, and Seremban. By 2026, the southern corridor from Kajang through Semenyih, Beranang, Pajam, Mantin, to Seremban will gain streamlined route connectivity

🏗️ 2. Proven Catalyst for Development
Just like how the introduction of highways and rail (ERL, SKVE, ELITE, PLUS) around KLIA accelerated Bandar Enstek, Sepang, Nilai, Cyberjaya, and Putrajaya, the NLE+KLIA link is poised to replicate that success
Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0 (MVV 2.0) is already creating industrial and residential demand along this southern axis, and the NLE is central to this expansion

🎯 3. Direct Implications for Batang Benar → Lenggeng Region
Pajam, Mantin, Lenggeng, Batang Benar already have highway interchanges on the Kajang–Seremban Highway, and the NLE enhances these links further
With direct access to KLIA and Nilai, land in these zones becomes highly viable for low- to mid-density housing, logistics hubs, and supporting industrial parks.

📈 4. Why Developers Will Shift Focus South
Tighter land supply north of Kajang pushes growth downstream.
Highway and airport connectivity are key drivers cited by JLL and CBRE for southern corridor growth
MVV 2.0’s ambition (153,000 ha, RM290 billion) outlines demand for township and industrial zoning

⏰ Timeline — When Developers May Move South
Phase Milestone/Event Likely Timeframe
NLE + KLIA link Highway opening By mid‑2026
MVV 2.0 Activity Phase 1 industrial growth Ongoing through 2025–2026
Landbank Moves Developer acquisitions 2025–2027
Pilot Projects Launch of townships, industrial parks 2026–2028

✅ Bottom Line
The NLE–KLIA extension significantly raises infrastructure readiness for the southern border areas.
Historically, such transport links kickstart development—as seen in KLIA’s wake.
These combined factors suggest that Batang Benar, Pajam, Mantin, and Lenggeng are primed to be the next wave of Selangor–Negeri Sembilan growth, likely beginning in earnest within the 2026–2028 window.

I live here, heard this same script since 2012. AI gets all their data from websites, developer info and all the points from sales brochures. You will only hear/read "nice to know" stuff. The real deal is far from whats told by sales agents/developers. Come and see for yourself how dead things are here.

Half of the info there is false, there is no KLIA link from NLE-KLIA. It connects to the old existing road.

MVV have yet to start so the word "ongoing" is not true.

And don't trust AI 100%, its just another "wikipedia" based on garbage in garbage out facts.

I suspect it's would take like another 10 years before we could see anything significant...

As for now...
It's just tcss only

Sales agent talk up selling to unsuspecting victims water fish...
