Sabah's growth reshapes Kota Kinabalu industrial property market
KUALA LUMPUR: Sabah's accelerating economic growth and infrastructure build-out are reshaping the business landscape around Kota Kinabalu, creating demand for industrial premises that can support manufacturing, logistics, distribution and increasingly diverse commercial activities.
Sabah's rapid economic growth and infrastructure development are transforming the industrial property landscape around Kota Kinabalu, according to Golden Land Bhd (GLB). The property developer is moving into the light industrial segment with Putatan Gateway Socio-Industry, a 5.42-hectare project comprising 43 two-storey factories.
GLB's CEO Stewart Yap highlighted Putatan's strategic position as a southern growth corridor, supported by improved highway connectivity, proximity to KKIA, and the expanding industrial and commercial activity in the region. The development aims to provide a new generation of industrial premises that meet the operational and corporate needs of modern businesses, offering flexible spaces for manufacturing, warehousing, showrooms, and offices.
With features like nine-meter high warehouses, 10 kN/m² loading capacity, and mezzanine-ready spaces, the units cater to a diverse range of businesses, including distributors, logistics operators, and e-commerce fulfillment centers. Putatan Gateway is GLB's second project in Kota Kinabalu, following a commercial suites development launched earlier this year, and signifies the company's entry into the city's light industrial property market.
