KLANG: Sime Darby Property Bhd (Sime Darby Property) and Asia Pacific-focused real asset owner and manager ESR have expanded E-Metro Logistics Park in Bandar Bukit Raja, Selangor, with two new Grade A logistics facilities.
Metrohub 3 and Metrohub 4 will add over 2,200,000 sq ft of warehouse space in E-Metro Logistics Park, near Port Klang. Metrohub 4 will serve as the regional distribution centre for Mixue, occupying 13.4% of the space. Metrohub 3 is expected to be completed in Q3 2027 and will include two blocks totalling 840,000 sq ft, with provisions for dangerous goods storage to meet rising demand for EV component imports.
“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,” said Sime Darby Property group managing director and chief executive officer Datuk Seri Azmir Merican.
“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,” added ESR Southeast Asia head Jai Mirpuri.
“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 full 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,” said ESR Malaysia head David Aboud.
Also present at the event were Klang Royal City Council deputy mayor Zary Affendi Arif, Sime Darby Property property development managing director Datuk Sohimin Alayedin, investment and fund management chief operating officer Aurelia Lee and Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) maritime and logistics services division director Habibah Enok.
Both Metrohub 3 and 4 are designed to meet customers’ evolving sustainability and workplace expectations, with targets set on LEED Gold certification.
