KLANG, 29 AUGUST 2022 – Sime Darby Property Berhad (“Sime Darby Property”), Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd, joint venture Sime Darby Property MIT Development Sdn. Bhd. (“SDPMIT”) marked a significant milestone with the commencement of groundwork for its latest project at Bandar Bukit Raja Industrial Gateway in Klang today.

Selangor State Executive Councillor for Investment, Industry & Commerce and Small & Medium Enterprises YB Dato' Teng Chang Khim officiated at the event to commemorate the groundbreaking ceremony to develop the multi-tenanted Ready-Built Warehouse (“RBW”).

The RBW project has secured pre-committed tenancy for the entire warehouse by logistics tenants CEVA Logistics, a global logistics and supply chain company; together with SL Ng, a leading home grown FMCG market expansion service provider in Malaysia. Both tenants will occupy the two-storey warehouse with approximately 487,000 sq ft Gross Floor Area.

This is the third project to kick-off at the Bandar Bukit Raja Industrial Gateway developed by SDPMIT that aims to provide solutions for the global supply chain industry, featuring infrastructure that offers operational and technological scalability, as well as easy access to highways to transport goods.

Sime Darby Property’s Group Managing Director, Dato’ Azmir Merican said that clients can expect a comprehensive suite of modern features from the RBWs built in Bandar Bukit Raja Industrial Gateway and are welcome to work closely with SDPMIT to customise the features of their assets to suit operational needs.
 
“The market demand for industrial and logistics products remains healthy, and we will continue to provide solutions to suit our clients’ needs. In terms of location, Bandar Bukit Raja Industrial Gateway is conveniently integrated with its surrounding ecosystem, offering easy access to road networks that connect with seaports and airports, as well as nearby residential areas,” he said.

Daiji Kojima, the Managing Director of Mitsui & Co. (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd and the President of the Japanese Chamber of Trade & Industry Malaysia (“JACTIM”) said that it is a privilege to partner with global and local third-party logistics players such as CEVA Logistics and SL Ng.

“The development at Bandar Bukit Raja represents a world-class industrial hub in Malaysia and it is our desire to keep our valued tenants satisfied with tailored features to suit their business and operational requirements,” said Kojima.

Bandar Bukit Raja Industrial Gateway spans across 39 acres of prime land, consisting of 10 plots for bespoke Grade A facilities. Two completed Built-to-Suit projects totalling 384,000 sq ft are now fully occupied with the first project handed over to Senheng Electric (KL) Sdn Bhd in 2020, while Leschaco (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd and CEVA Logistics receiving their shared product a year later.

The construction of this RBW has commenced and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2023. The two remaining projects are currently in various stages of negotiations with prospective tenants which include third party logistics providers, warehousing and distribution centres and cold chain logistics. The full take-up of this RBW demonstrates the marketability of Bandar Bukit Raja to meet the increasing global need for quality logistics products, infrastructure, as well as efficient supply chain management.

Bandar Bukit Raja is easily accessible via major highways such as the New Klang Valley Expressway (“NKVE”), Federal Highway, KESAS Highway, and the recently opened West Coast Expressway (“WCE”). These expressways connect Bandar Bukit Raja to major logistics hubs such as Port Klang and the Kuala Lumpur International Airports, and significantly to other Sime Darby Property industrial parks located in the City of Elmina and Serenia City in Selangor, and Hamilton Nilai City in Negeri Sembilan, among others.
