Not an ordinary industrial park

       When Hap Seng Land embarked on its first industrial and
       business park development, they wanted ‘a different concept’
       – more than just a 20-acre assemblage of land for industrial
       and commercial use. They wanted Hap Seng Business Park
       to redefine the perception of industrial parks, especially at
       Seksyen 23, Shah Alam, where industrial buildings were
       ubiquitous.

       With the growing e-commerce market and its associated
       warehousing and logistics needs, the developer recognised the
       immense potential of the industrial sector. Strategically located
       near the Bukit Megawati roundabout, it had high visibility
       while the project’s convenient highway access points promise
       tenant appeal especially to MNCs. The surrounding traditional
       warehouses and factories served as a point of departure
       driving the innovative approach to embrace green.

       The only Green Industrial Park in town

       The vision was to establish a mixed typology of industrial
       spaces that cater to a wide range of business needs such as
       manufacturing, warehousing, showroom, workshop, central
       kitchen, data center, and office, among others.

       As a responsible developer, Hap Seng Land chose to create
       a green industrial park, to promote resource efficiency and
       circular economy practices. The aim was to embed industries
       in society, drive shared economic opportunities and create
       innovative avenues for responsible business activities that use
       less energy and resources and contribute to lower carbon
       footprints.

       Comprising 10 blocks, it offers an array of detached and semi-
       detached units, including industrial offices, Flatted Warehouses,
