KUCHING: Vista Industrial Park (VIP) here by Hock Seng Lee Bhd ( HSL) is open for business. At 200 acres, VIP is one of the largest privately built industrial zones in East Malaysia.

HSL announced it secured Occupation­al Permit (OP) recently for the first 48 semi- detached industrial units.

These units are move-in ready. Owners are using the units for manufactur­ing, storage, offices and also for retail, said senior property developmen­t manager

Units facing the park are higher in demand. We are happy business owners have responded positively to this design element. It shows businesses want a better working environmen­t and quality master planning.

Business owners have chosen VIP due to the strategic location near Samajaya High Tech Park, two seaports, Borneo Convention Centre Kuching, Kuching Internatio­nal Airport and other key destinatio­ns like Sejingkat. VIP is 8km to the city centre.

Accessibil­ity is excellent via a newly built double dualcarria­geway from Jalan Setia Raja, a major highway linking Samarahan, Pending and Petra Jaya.

A network of new internal roads wrapped neatly around the business estate.

Befitting its name, a 3.3- acre landscaped park is a key component of VIP.

“Units facing the park are higher in demand. We are happy business owners have responded positively to this design element. It shows businesses want a better working environmen­t and quality master planning,” said Tay.

The main selling point is the oversized premises. All units are 8m to 8.8m in width, 17.5m to 21m in length.

Ground floor entrances and ceilings are extra tall to accommodat­e heavy machinery.

Separate entrances with stairways have been created for upper floors, which are similarly wide, airy and multi-use friendly.

Unit sizes are from 3,053 sq ft with land areas from 13.84 points. The largest, a detached unit under constructi­on in a new phase, has a floor space of 5,658 sq ft and 32.37 points of land.

“VIP is suitable for a wide range of operations, including those needing a clean, quality-controlled environmen­t. A popular food and beverage franchise has set up its central kitchen at VIP,” said Tay.

VIP is one of HSL’s most important long-term real estate projects.

“We have new phases planned. VIP has room to grow. It will become a major integrated business hub.

“Currently, we units completed constructi­on.”

Portions of the 200-acre site are earmarked for HSL’s own usage. Although plans are under wraps, HSL’s own developmen­ts within VIP are expected to be significan­t and ensure investor confidence.

HSL Constructi­on Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary, is developing the similarly sized La Promenade, Samariang Aman 2 and 3, among others. have 195 or under
