重点报道：土崩阴霾无阻Bukit Antarabangsa房价增长
距离市中心一箭之遥，拥有一望无际的山景，Bukit Antarabangsa曾是国内达官贵人的家园。但经历过1993年的Highland Towers 倒塌事件后，Bukit Antarabangsa的房屋从此乏人问津。 而且在25年后，很多产业投资者和购房者仍然对Bukit Antarabangsa产业有所保留。 Laurelcap Sdn Bhd执行董事Stanley Toh说：“只有惯住Bukit Antarabangsa地区的人，才会考虑在那里买房子。事实上，当年塌楼事件的阴影仍挥之不去，所以至今，当地都没有什么新发展项目。而且市议会在审批当地所有新发展项目时，都特别谨慎严格。” Jordan Lee & Jaafar Sdn Bhd执行董事Chin Shiow Wei则表示，公众对当年山泥倾泻的恐惧的确略有减退，但最近槟城发生的土崩事件，再次唤起公众对25年前Highland Towers倒塌悲剧的记忆。 尽管Bukit Antarabangsa在多年后还是无法摆脱这些阴霾，但当地房价依然表现不俗，在2017年里稳定上扬。 Nawawi Tie Lung Real Estate Consultants Sdn Bhd董事总经理Eddy Wong表示，虽然Bukit Antarabangsa房子的交易量放缓，但是价格还是录得上涨。 Chin对此表示认同，并相信周边城镇房价整体上涨，是带动Bukit Antarabangsa屋价走高的因素之一。另外，已大幅改善的交通连接，如刚完成不久的Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway (DUKE)，也有利该区房产的价格增长。 “无论是自住或是投资，Bukit Antarabangsa位于山坡位置的这个事实，确实影响了许多人的决定。买家考虑的不仅是安全问题，也是房子未来的增值潜能、是否能够顺利脱手，以及银行是否愿意发放贷款等的种种考量。” Bukit Antarabangsa还是具备一些能够吸引买家的特点。根据Toh，这些优点包括邻近吉隆坡市中心、DUKE和Middle Ring Road 2改善交通连接（距市中心约20分钟）、自然繁茂的山区环境以及Bukit Antarabangsa的知名度。 Chin点出，Bukit Antarabangsa的房价比邻近城镇来得低，例如Bukit Antarabangsa的双层排屋售价约为RM600,000，而附近的Taman Ukay Bistari和Tamana Melawati的双层排屋则以RM750,000至RM800,000左右出售，Wangsa Maju类似单位的房价更是达RM800,000以上。 至于高楼住宅，Bukit Antarabangsa大多1,000平方尺以上的公寓单位，售价约为RM400,000。 根据EdgeProp.
