One common question from first-time buyers is: What is a detached factory? A detached factory is a standalone building with no shared walls, typically larger and more private than semi-detached or terrace units. Semi-detached factories share one common wall, while terrace factories (also called link factories) share both side walls.
| Type | Typical Built-up (sqft) | Land Area (sqft) | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terrace / Link | 2,000–8,000 | 1,500–5,000 | Lower entry price, easier to resell, lower maintenance | Limited yard space, shared walls, may restrict heavy industrial |
| Semi-Detached | 5,000–15,000 | 3,000–8,000 | Balance of space and cost, good for medium operations, better access | Shared wall may limit expansion; common driveway |
| Detached | 8,000–40,000+ | 5,000–20,000+ | Full privacy, customisable, high ceiling heights, potential for heavy industrial, higher capital appreciation | Higher upfront cost, higher property tax, longer sale period |
Key advice: For first-time buyers with modest space needs, a semi-detached factory in a good park like Hicom Glenmarie or Bukit Kemuning offers the best value. For heavier industrial operations, prioritise detached units in I-Parc 2 or Seksyen 26/27.
Shah Alam’s industrial zones are well-served by a network of highways:
