Regalway Industrial Hub @ Simpang Ampat, Penang

The official site plan numbers its lots 1 to 65 across three phases. Reading the legend’s colours, lots 1 to 38 are detached factories, lots 40 to 60 are semi-detached units, and six lots (39 and 61 to 65) are two-storey commercial showrooms.

The brochure’s aerial view labels Phases 1 and 2 as detached factories, with commercial showrooms in Phase 1, and Phase 3 as semi-detached commercial units. Which lots are still available is not published; message me and I will send the current list.

The official brochure prints ‘Freehold’ on its cover. The text of the project page itself does not mention the tenure, so the brochure is the source.

Tenure, the category of land use and any restriction in interest are settled by a title search. Tell me which lot you are considering and I will ask for its title details so that your solicitor can verify them.

The official page prints the land as from 98 ft × 195 ft and the brochure as from 99 ft × 195 ft, both with 19,289 sq ft onwards. The figures do not multiply out exactly, so treat them as approximate, as the disclaimer says, and rely on the survey plan of the specific lot.

The official floor plan gives the detached factory a built-up area of 9,780 sq ft and draws the building 18 m wide. The specification on the project page: a 34 ft double-volume ceiling, 4.5 m loading bays at the front and side, 2 ton/m² loading on the ground floor, a columnless production area and a 200 amp supply.

This is industrial property, and the rules are not the same as 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 apply the residential thresholds or the residential stamp duty rules here. Tell me the shareholding of your company and your intended use, and I will confirm the position with the developer and a solicitor before you go further.

No completion date appears in the text of the official project page, which was published in November 2023. Portals quote an estimated date, but I do not repeat it because I cannot trace it to the project’s own material.

An industrial scheme has no government progress record the way a housing project does. Ask me and I will get the current construction status, and the handover date written in the sale and purchase agreement, from the developer.

Start with the land, because the detached factory is the same building throughout. Lots begin at 19,289 sq ft and go upward; a larger or corner lot gives you more room to turn a container lorry and to store outdoors. The site plan on this page shows where each numbered lot sits; ask me for each lot’s land area.

Then think about the two loading bays, at the front and at the side: a lot where the side bay opens onto usable compound space is worth more to a distributor than one where it faces the boundary. I will mark those on the plan for you.

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 portals.

Whether the hub is guarded, and what the maintenance or security charges are, is not published either. Message me and I will send the current price list, the available lots and the charges in writing.

They are different products. Regalway is a detached factory on land from 19,289 sq ft with a 34 ft ceiling. Nexus Industrial Hub, covered on its own page on this site, is a scheme of two-storey semi-detached units with built-up areas of 4,998 to 8,172 sq ft on land from 8,797 sq ft, 1.7 km in a straight line from the Jawi toll plaza.

If you need your own compound, more height and room for container lorries, look at Regalway. If a smaller semi-detached unit beside the expressway is enough, read the Nexus page. Visit both before deciding; the road you use every day matters more than the brochure.

For staff: in a straight line Pearl City Mall in Bandar Tasek Mutiara is 3.9 km away, Simpang Ampat KTM station 4.9 km, Iconic Point in Simpang Ampat town 5.4 km and Sungai Bakap Hospital 8.0 km. Housing estates in Simpang Ampat and Bandar Tasek Mutiara are where most workers would live.

For renting: I do not quote rental figures or yields. A detached factory of this size is let to one tenant at a time, so a vacancy means no income at all until the next tenant signs. If you are buying to let, ask me what comparable factories in the Valdor and Simpang Ampat area are being let for, and I will show you actual listings.
