Sime Darby Property Berhad and its joint venture partner ESR have expanded the E-Metro Logistics Park in Bandar Bukit Raja, Selangor. The real asset owner and manager announced the completion of one Grade A logistics facility alongside the start of construction on another. The updates add more than 2,200,000 square feet of warehouse space to the development.

The expansion involves the completion of Metrohub 4 and the groundbreaking of Metrohub 3. Located near Port Klang, the park offers direct access to expressways across the Klang Valley, linking tenants to regional markets. The new spaces aim to meet rising regional demand for modern industrial infrastructure. The first two phases, Metrohub 1 and Metrohub 2, are already completely full with e-commerce, third-party logistics and supply chain tenants.

Metrohub 4 spans approximately 1,380,000 square feet, making it the largest multi-tenanted ready-built warehouse in the portfolio. Global beverage chain MIXUE has secured space as the first pre-committed customer, taking up 13.4 percent of the net lettable area before the official opening.

Metrohub 3 is scheduled to finish construction in the third quarter of 2027. The site will consist of two distinct warehouse blocks totaling around 840,000 square feet. One block will include specialised storage for dangerous goods. This addition accommodates the rising import of electric vehicle components, particularly lithium batteries, into Malaysia.

Both buildings are targeting LEED Gold certification. The properties include provisions for solar power, electric vehicle charging stations, energy-efficient LED lighting and water-saving fittings. The layout also features staff cafeterias, driver lounges and separate lanes for heavy and light vehicles to improve safety.

Dato’ Seri Azmir Merican, Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Sime Darby Property, said: “E-Metro Logistics Park represents a key component of the industrial and logistics ecosystem within Bandar Bukit Raja, one of our flagship industrial townships in Selangor. The development was made possible via the support of the institutional investors in our inaugural RM1 billion Industrial Development Fund, for which we are appreciative. Upon completion of both Metrohubs, the portfolio size within E-Metro Logistics Park will exceed 4.2 million sq ft of modern warehouse space, advancing our portfolio towards high-specification, institutional-grade logistics facilities targeted for multinational tenants.”

Jai Mirpuri, Head of Southeast Asia, ESR, said: “Demand for high-quality logistics infrastructure continues to grow across Southeast Asia, and Malaysia is one of the region’s most compelling markets for that investment. Metrohub 3 and 4 represent the next phase of our commitment here, underpinned by a strong partnership with Sime Darby Property and the continued confidence of our capital partners. E-Metro Logistics Park reflects what customers are looking for as they expand and strengthen their supply chains across the region.”

David Aboud, Head of Malaysia, ESR, said: “Having been in the Malaysian market since 2021, we have taken a long-term view on where logistics demand will concentrate and how it will evolve. Working closely with Sime Darby Property, we have translated that conviction into modern assets that are strategically located and built for future customer needs. The total occupancy of Metrohub 1 and 2, together with the early customer commitment secured at Metrohub 4, demonstrates the strength of what this partnership delivers on the ground.”
