| Kapar | RM495 | 51 | 55,334 sq ft | 29% | 90% |
| Puncak Alam | RM475 | 23 | 36,110 sq ft | 9% | 0% |

| Jenjarom | RM455 | 16 | 56,035 sq ft | 31% | 100% |
| Banting | RM381 | 22 | 68,476 sq ft | 23% | 50% |

Read the table top to bottom and the heavy-power share climbs as the price falls. The cheapest area on the list, Telok Panglima Garang at RM370 psf, has 60% of its stock at 1,000A or above. Balakong, at more than double the price, has none.
This is not a coincidence and it is not a bargain waiting to be taken. It reflects what got built where. The outer belt was planned for heavy industry on large plots with the grid capacity to match, while the central areas were built for lighter industrial and warehousing use closer to the labour pool, on smaller lots, decades ago.
The practical consequence: if your process needs serious amperage, paying more does not get it. A TNB upgrade runs into months and capital, and in older central estates the constraint is often the incoming supply to the estate, not just your building. Buyers who insist on a central address and then discover the power ceiling usually end up back on the outer belt having lost a quarter.
Average built-up runs from 16,000 sq ft in Balakong and Petaling Jaya to 123,000 sq ft in Telok Panglima Garang, roughly 7x.
That means area choice is partly made for you by your size requirement. A 60,000 sq ft brief simply has very little to look at in Balakong or PJ, and a 12,000 sq ft brief will find the outer belt is mostly selling something much larger. Before shortlisting areas, fix your built-up range and let it filter the map.
Tenure is not evenly mixed. On live stock: Glenmarie, Semenyih and Jenjarom are effectively all freehold. Puncak Alam has no freehold factory listings on the market. Petaling Jaya is only 17% freehold.
If your financing or your exit plan requires freehold, that removes several areas before you look at a single building. Browse by tenure directly: freehold factories for sale, leasehold factories for sale.
Heavy manufacturing, high amperage, large plot. Telok Panglima Garang, Jenjarom, Banting, Kapar. Cheapest per sq ft, largest buildings, deepest heavy-power stock. The trade-off is distance from KL and a thinner labour catchment.
Port-driven logistics and distribution. Port Klang and Kapar. Port Klang alone carries 178 live sale listings, the deepest inventory in the state, at RM500 psf with an average building of 63,000 sq ft. Proximity to Northport and Westport is the whole argument.
Light industrial, assembly, workforce-dependent. Shah Alam is the practical default: 98 listings, RM671 psf, 70% freehold, and the mature expressway grid with the deepest labour pool. Subang and Puchong sit alongside at similar rates.
Operations with a client-facing or corporate component. Glenmarie, Petaling Jaya, Sungai Buloh. You pay RM700 to RM820 psf for the address and the commute, and you accept small buildings and thin power. Glenmarie being 100% freehold is a genuine plus for a long hold.
Budget-constrained but wanting to stay reachable. Semenyih, Rawang, Puncak Alam, Sepang. Middle of the table on price, still inside the wider commuting ring. Note Puncak Alam is leasehold only.
The table above ranks averages, and an average hides the building you will actually buy. Two units on the same road can differ 30% or more on rate depending on power, ceiling height, floor loading, loading provision, building age and certification status.
The efficient order is: fix built-up range and power requirement first, filter to the buildings that meet them, and only then compare areas on what is left. That usually produces a shorter and more honest shortlist than starting from a map.

Area averages get you to a shortlist. These four checks decide whether a specific building works, and all four are cheaper to do before the offer than after.
What is the best area to buy a factory in Selangor?
It depends on the binding constraint. For heavy power and large plots, Telok Panglima Garang and Jenjarom (RM370 to RM455 psf, 31% to 60% of stock at 1,000A+). For port logistics, Port Klang (178 listings, RM500 psf). For workforce-dependent light industry, Shah Alam (98 listings, RM671 psf, 70% freehold). For a corporate address, Glenmarie or Petaling Jaya at RM716 to RM744 psf.
Which area in Selangor has the cheapest factories?
Telok Panglima Garang at about RM370 psf on live asking prices, followed by Banting at RM381 and Jenjarom at RM455. These are also the areas with the largest average buildings, so the total ticket is not necessarily small.
Where should I buy if I need 1,000A or more?
Telok Panglima Garang (60% of listings), Port Klang (33%), Jenjarom (31%) and Kapar (29%) carry the deepest heavy-power stock. Central areas such as Balakong, Puchong and Glenmarie have very little, and a TNB upgrade there takes months.
Is Shah Alam a good place to buy a factory?
It is the most balanced option and has the widest choice in the state after Port Klang: 98 live sale listings, RM671 psf average, 70% freehold, average building 41,000 sq ft. You pay a premium over the outer belt for connectivity and labour supply.
Which Selangor areas are freehold?
On live stock, Glenmarie, Semenyih and Jenjarom are effectively all freehold, and Kapar and Bandar Puteri Klang are around 90%. Puncak Alam has no freehold factory listings, and Petaling Jaya is only 17%.
How much does a factory cost in Selangor in 2026?
Live asking prices range from about RM370 psf to RM819 psf depending on area, with the state's deepest markets (Port Klang, Shah Alam) at RM500 to RM671. On a 40,000 sq ft building that is roughly RM20 million to RM27 million before stamp duty and legal fees.
