Common questions about industrial property in Rawang, answered with live data from our listings.
Rawang, located in Selangor’s northern corridor, is rapidly emerging as a strategic industrial property hotspot for manufacturing, fabrication, and logistics companies. Known as the "Northern Gateway," Rawang offers better value for money and less traffic congestion than central Klang Valley areas, while maintaining strong connectivity via the LATAR Expressway (35 minutes to KLCC) and PLUS Highway. This makes it ideal for businesses serving the Northern Malaysian markets (Perak, Kedah) or needing quick access to Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.
Rawang offers competitive pricing compared to Shah Alam or Subang Jaya. While exact prices vary, the area provides strong potential for capital appreciation due to limited land supply and growing demand. For current listings, check factories for sale and factories for rent.
Top parks include Bukit Raja Industrial Park (Klang), Shah Alam & Subang Jaya (mature zone), Puncak Alam (new logistics hub), Banting (south-west corridor), and Rawang (northern gateway).
Bukit Raja offers strategic location, excellent highway connectivity (NKVE, Shapadu, WCE), proximity to Port Klang, modern detached factories, large warehouses, wide roads, and strong rental demand.
The top five hotspots are: 1) Bukit Raja, Klang; 2) Shah Alam & Subang Jaya; 3) Puncak Alam; 4) Banting; 5) Rawang.
Rawang provides better value for money, less traffic congestion, strong highway connectivity (LATAR, PLUS), and high capital appreciation potential, attracting manufacturing and logistics companies.

Industrial rents vary widely with location (Klang Valley vs. Northern/Southern corridors), built-up area, ceiling height, power capacity (single- vs. 3-phase), dock-levellers, overhead cranes, road access for trailers, and lease tenure. Larger units typically negotiate lower per-sqft rates; build-to-suit and sale-and-leaseback structures price differently again. Always compare multiple comparable units before signing.
Service tax on rental and leasing services for commercial and industrial properties is 6% (reduced from 8% effective 1 January 2026). It is charged on top of the monthly rental and collected by the landlord for remittance to Customs. The annual sales threshold for SME exemption was raised to MYR 1.5M, and newly-registered SMEs receive a 1-year grace period from SST on rental.
Standard factory leases run 2–3 years with an option to renew. Some landlords offer 1-year terms for flexibility. Industrial leases often include a 2-month security deposit plus 1-month advance rent.
Key checks: electrical capacity (3-phase power), water supply, floor loading capacity, ceiling height (minimum 6m for most manufacturing), fire safety compliance, truck access and loading bay availability, and zoning approval for your intended industrial activity.
