Selangor is Malaysia's industrial powerhouse, offering unmatched connectivity, established infrastructure, and dynamic growth. This guide breaks down key insights for factory and warehouse seekers.
Prime logistics space in the Klang Valley shows steady rental growth (3-5% annually) and high occupancy (85-95%), signaling robust demand. Driven by e-commerce/3PL growth and high-tech manufacturing, freehold industrial assets and well-located leasehold factories remain highly sought after for their stable yields.

While Selangor leads Malaysia's industrial belt, serious buyers often compare these adjacent states:
Land prices vary widely with state and corridor (Klang Valley vs. Northern/Southern), zoning class (light, medium, heavy industrial), title category (freehold vs. leasehold vs. Pajakan Negeri), road frontage and access for trailers, infrastructure readiness (power, water, drainage), and proximity to ports, airports, and major highways. Always evaluate the all-in cost including any conversion premium and infrastructure capex.
You need land conversion (if applicable), planning permission from local authority, building plan approval, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for larger developments, and Department of Environment compliance. The process typically takes 6–18 months.
Minimum industrial lot sizes vary by state and zone. Light industrial zones typically start from 0.5 acres, while heavy industrial zones may require 1–5 acres minimum. Check with the local District Land Office.
Freehold land has no expiry and easier resale, ideal for long-term holding or self-development. Leasehold (60–99 years) is 15–30% cheaper and often in mature industrial parks. For commercial development with quick turnaround, leasehold can offer better ROI.
