Pulau Meranti is attracting a new wave of factory buyers — from logistics firms and automation companies to cold storage operators and e-commerce SMEs. This blog explores who’s investing and why this Puchong industrial hub is gaining serious momentum.
Who’s Buying in Pulau Meranti? SME Profiles and Investment Trends
Pulau Meranti Industrial Park Phase 2 in Puchong is quietly emerging as a preferred address for a new generation of business owners and industrial investors. But who exactly is buying here — and what are the investment trends shaping this up-and-coming industrial zone?
1. Logistics & Distribution Players
With easy access to SKVE, MEX, ELITE, and LDP, Pulau Meranti offers seamless connectivity to KLIA, Port Klang, Putrajaya, and Subang. This makes it highly attractive for 3PL (third-party logistics) firms, last-mile delivery companies, and regional distribution centers seeking a strategic base.
2. Automation & Light Manufacturing SMEs
Buyers in this segment are typically automation system integrators, small-scale equipment producers, and component manufacturers. They value the factory’s 10kN/m² heavy-duty floor load, 1.5T hoist lifts, and 150 amp+ power supply — allowing them to run machinery and assembly operations efficiently.
3. Cold Chain & Storage-Ready Operators
With the rise in demand for cold storage, several SMEs investing in Pulau Meranti are adapting units for temperature-controlled environments — including food distributors, seafood processors, and pharma logistics providers. The wide container access and high ceiling (27’ floor-to-floor) make it suitable for racking and cold room conversion.
4. E-Commerce Fulfillment & Packaging SMEs
Pulau Meranti is also attracting online retailers, fulfillment vendors, and packaging service companies that need flexible space for warehousing and shipping. These businesses are drawn to the proximity to Cyberjaya, Putrajaya, and KLIA — key delivery nodes in Malaysia’s e-commerce ecosystem.
5. Owner-Occupiers Looking to Upgrade from Rental
Many buyers are established SME owners who were previously renting in older industrial zones like Seri Kembangan or Subang. With prices starting from RM4.1 million, they’re seeing Pulau Meranti as a long-term upgrade — one that provides ownership, modern facilities, and long-term appreciation potential.
What Makes Pulau Meranti Appealing to These Buyers?
- Gated and guarded low-density layout with only 21 units
- Solar PV, EV charger, and rainwater system readiness
- Factory sizes from 6,373 to 10,331 sq. ft. built-up on land sizes up to 17,701 sq. ft.
- Flexible layout for multi-use operations — warehousing, manufacturing, and office
Outlook: A Rising Star for Strategic SME Expansion
As land scarcity and aging infrastructure push businesses out of mature zones like Subang and Shah Alam, Pulau Meranti is benefiting from overflow demand. Its combination of accessibility, modern features, and pricing appeal is drawing a very targeted group of buyers — all focused on operational efficiency and long-term asset growth.
