Kerian Grandeur @ Parit Buntar, Perak

The published listing gives a total of 14 lots, all two-storey semi-detached factories, on 8 acres of development land. That is a listing figure, not a figure from a developer brochure.

Fourteen semi-detached units would stand as seven pairs. No site plan or lot schedule is in public view, so I will ask for both and send them to you.

The listing describes it as freehold with an individual industrial title for each lot, and as a non-Bumiputera lot.

A listing is not a title. Before you sign, your solicitor’s search will confirm the tenure, the category of land use and any restriction in interest on the lot you are buying.

The listed built-up area is 7,330 sq ft over two storeys, on land of 17,750 to 20,064 sq ft a lot. The listing also gives a 150 amp power supply, upgradable to 200 amp, and a floor loading of 2 tonnes per square metre.

It calls the scheme medium industry. The industrial category approved for each lot decides which activities are allowed, and it is written on the title and the planning approval, so I will ask for those before you plan your operation around it. Ceiling height is not published.

This is industrial property in Perak, so the Perak state rules apply and they are not the same as the rules for homes. A purchase by a foreign individual or a foreign-controlled company needs state consent, and the conditions depend on how the buying company is structured and what it will do on the land.

I do not quote a threshold figure here and I do not apply the residential stamp duty rules to a factory. Tell me the shareholding of your company and your intended use, and I will confirm eligibility for the unit with the developer and a solicitor before you go further.

No completion date has been published. The open map has shown the land as a construction site since January 2025, and the listing of March 2025 gives no date.

Factories have no public progress record the way housing projects do. Ask me for the current stage of building; the delivery date that binds the developer is the one in the sale and purchase agreement, together with the damages for late delivery.

The building is listed at one size, so the choice comes down to the land: 17,750 to 20,064 sq ft. If lorries have to turn inside your compound or goods are stored outdoors, the larger lots earn their keep; if you only need the floor space, a smaller lot does the same job.

Then look at position along the strip. A lot beside the entrance is easier for visitors and deliveries to find, while an inner lot sees less passing traffic. The site plan that would show this is not published, so I will get it before you decide.

There is no public price information I will quote. An industrial scheme is not on the housing register, so there is no government permit band, and I do not repeat figures from property listings.

Nothing is published about maintenance or security charges either. Message me and I will send the current price list, the available lots and the charges in writing.

Both are freehold two-storey semi-detached factories, 16.3 km apart in a straight line. Nexus Industrial Hub, across the state border at Jawi in south Seberang Perai, is the larger scheme with 40 units of 4,998 to 8,172 sq ft built-up; Kerian Grandeur is listed as 14 units of 7,330 sq ft on lots of 17,750 to 20,064 sq ft.

Choose by where your customers and workers are. Jawi sits beside the Penang industrial belt; Kerian Grandeur is in Perak, on the trunk road between Parit Buntar and Bagan Serai. The other difference is information: that scheme has a named developer, and this one does not yet.

For staff: KTM Bagan Serai station is 3.6 km from the pin and KTM Parit Buntar station 8.6 km, so workers can come from either town. SJK(C) Wai Sin is 4.4 km away and Hospital Parit Buntar 8.7 km, all straight-line.

For renting: I do not quote rental figures. Whether a tenant’s activity is allowed depends on the approved industrial category of the lot and on any conditions the developer sets, so ask me before you buy with a tenant in mind.
