Sunway expands Rawang industrial plans with RM65.1mil Kuang land deal
The land was acquired via a Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) through Sunway Rawang City Sdn Bhd (SRCSB), a joint venture subsidiary of Sunway Property, from Teik Sing Realty Sdn Bhd.
Strategically located adjacent to Sunway's existing 245-acre industrial site, which was designated in August 2023 for the development of a managed industrial park, the newly acquired tract is intended to enhance and integrate the group's broader vision for an industrial ecosystem in the Rawang corridor.
Located in Mukim Rawang, Gombak district, the site enjoys excellent accessibility via the LATAR Expressway, and is close to key industrial hubs including the Kuang Industrial Area and Rawang Industrial Park. Its strategic position, just 35 minutes from Kuala Lumpur city centre and under an hour from Port Klang and KLIA, makes it well-suited for industrial and logistics-led developments.
Chong Sau Min, chief executive officer of Sunway Property, described the acquisition as a strategic move to scale up and enhance the company's industrial offerings.
"The location aligns with our long-term development goals and will enable us to deliver a more robust and comprehensive industrial ecosystem in the Klang Valley."
"Our expansion in the industrial space is timely to capitalise on opportunities driven by evolving market demand from manufacturers, e-commerce players, and logistics providers. It also reflects our commitment to shaping future-ready communities anchored by innovation and sustainability," he said in a statement.
The combined landbank is set to significantly expand the scope of the planned development, with the gross development value (GDV) of the project expected to increase by at least RM700 million.
The enlarged masterplan will feature a comprehensive mix of factories, warehouses, and commercial components, underpinned by smart infrastructure and sustainable design principles. The project aims to complement the region's existing industrial development landscape while introducing enhanced functionality and environmental integration.
With a total landbank of 2,230 acres and a potential GDV exceeding RM68.9 billion, Sunway Property remains firmly positioned for long-term, multi-segment growth anchored in innovation, sustainability, and integrated community building.

Malaysia gains from supply chain shifts; Sunway to benefit: HLIB
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia continues to benefit from global supply chain diversification, which is driving sustained demand for industrial space amid rising geopolitical tensions, according to HLIB Research. In line with this, HLIB said Sunway Bhd's enlarged land bank in Rawang, Selangor, is well positioned to strengthen the group's economies of scale and deliver stronger returns. The research house noted that Sunway's recent acquisition of a 40.3-hectare parcel has increased its total land holding in Rawang to 139.6 hectares, with a combined gross development value (GDV) of RM2.7 billion. According to HLIB, the larger land bank will allow Sunway to spread common infrastructure and marketing costs across a bigger GDV, driving greater operational efficiency and improving overall return on investment. "While Sunway has prior experience with smaller-scale industrial projects in Subang and Dengkil, this represents its first full-fledged large-scale industrial park. HLIB Research added that the move allows Sunway to diversify its portfolio, reducing reliance on the residential segment and providing a more balanced, resilient revenue stream. Sunway purchased the freehold land in Kuang for RM65.1 million, with an indicative GDV of RM700 million. It will be acquired through Sunway Rawang City Bhd, a joint venture between Sunway (70 per cent) and Amal Resources (30 per cent). The transaction is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2025. The land will be developed into an industrial tech park, with the first launch targeted in the first quarter of 2028, following the construction of a LATAR Expressway interchange. HLIB Research said the acquisition price implies a land cost-to-GDV ratio of 9.3 per cent. It noted that the land comprises about 26.8 hectares zoned for industrial use, 9.7 hectares zoned for agricultural use and 3.8 hectares designated for electrical pylons. "The group is expected to incur additional costs to convert the agricultural portion for industrial use, which is projected to raise the adjusted land cost-to-GDV ratio to slightly above 10 per cent, which is still within the typical 10–20 per cent range for industrial land in the Klang Valley," HLIB Research added. The firm kept its "Buy" call with an unchanged target price of RM5.90 a share. "With the group's widening exposure in the Malaysian economy, the stock provides a good proxy to the domestic economy, which is currently entering a new phase of growth," it added.

Kelantan targets bigger onion output for nation
BACHOK: Kelantan aims to contribute significantly to the country's onion production with a total planting area of 30.85 hectares involving seven districts in the state. Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud said the implementation of the onion planting project in the state is a strategic step in strengthening the country's food security and reducing dependence on imported onions. 'This onion planting project is an important initiative that not only helps raise the income of state agri-entrepreneurs, but also contributes towards the stability of the country's food supply. 'To date, 26.85 hectares of land have been cultivated involving 52 agri-entrepreneurs in 37 project locations and the implementation will continue to be expanded with a total of 30.85 hectares covering the Bachok, Pasir Mas, Pasir Puteh, Jeli, Kuala Krai, Machang and Tanah Merah districts,' he told reporters after opening the Kelantan State Onion Plantation Project 2025 at the Permanent Food Production Park (TKPM) in Telong, here today. He said that if successful, the 26.85-hectare site will produce 108 tonnes of onions with a value of approximately RM700,000 in just three months of planting. Mohd Nassuruddin also praised the commitment of the Kelantan State Agriculture Department which has made this pilot project a success with an allocation of RM1.4 million for this year following the successful implementation earlier last year. 'We are aware that 100 per cent of the country's onion needs are still imported from foreign countries such as India and China, with total imports in 2022 reaching 685,400 metric tonnes worth RM1.58 billion. This is a worrying figure and requires comprehensive efforts,' he said. He said Kelantan was among the states entrusted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security to lead this project along with other states such as Perak, Selangor, Perlis, Penang and Pahang. 'it is hoped this project is the starting point for greater commitment by all parties to make the national food security agenda a success. Agriculture is no longer a peripheral sector but an important core to sustainable economic development. 'The state government and related agencies will continue to intensify strategic cooperation with the federal government to ensure that the national onion production target can be successfully realised by 2030, thus reducing the government's dependence on imported onions by 30 per cent,' he said.
