Sime Darby Property Berhad (Sime Darby Property or the Company) marked a major milestone with the groundbreaking of Vision Business Park (“VBP”), the latest industrial development within Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0 (“MVV2.0”). This project is part of the MVV2.0 Heartbeat Project and is poised to strengthen Negeri Sembilan’s position as a key industrial hub in Malaysia.
The event was officiated by YAB Dato’ Seri Utama Haji Aminuddin Harun, Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar, and attended by state officials and other dignitaries.
Spanning 760 acres with an expected gross development value (“GDV”) of RM2.4 billion, VBP is anticipated to generate 15,000 job opportunities, contributing to Negeri Sembilan’s economic expansion. The project aligns with the State’s economic vision of attracting RM294 billion in investments and creating 600,000 jobs. VBP is also part of a strategic step in realising the phased development of MVV2.0, which spans 379,100 acres in Negeri Sembilan. The Company has developed over 6,000 acres in
Negeri Sembilan and is now expanding its footprint through industrial development in Southern Nilai.
Sime Darby Property’s Group Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Seri Azmir Merican, said, “Vision Business Park is a key step in our commitment to industrial development, supporting Negeri Sembilan’s economic transformation. As a future-ready industrial hub, VBP will attract businesses, create jobs, and strengthen the state’s position as an industrial growth centre. Building on the success of Hamilton Nilai City, operational since 2021, VBP supports the growth of light and medium industries, driving innovation and expansion.”
VBP features an 80:20 industrial-to-commercial ratio, offering 623 acres for industrial opportunities and 137 acres for commercial businesses that cater to businesses of all sizes. The development provides a comprehensive industrial ecosystem, featuring ready-built factories, industrial plots, shop offices and research & development (“R&D”) centres, designed to support growing businesses. Its clustered masterplan fosters business synergies, complemented by centralised amenities such as dedicated labour quarters & centralised heavy vehicle parking to support operational efficiency.
Positioned within MVV2.0, VBP benefits from direct access to the Nilai-Labu-Enstek Road (“NLE”), facilitating seamless transportation to key industrial and logistics hubs such as Nilai Inland Port, KLIA and KLIA 2. In addition, the NLE Road connects VBP to the North South Expressway (“NSE”) enhancing logistics efficiency for regional and international trade.
Beyond its accessibility, VBP is designed with sustainability in mind, setting a new benchmark for industrial zones. The incorporation of green & blue lifestyle linkages enhances the business environment with integrated green spaces, water features and eco-friendly infrastructure. These elements contribute to workforce well-being and long-term business resilience, in line with Sime Darby Property’s commitment to sustainable development.
“With rising demand for logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing amid e-commerce expansion and supply chain shifts, VBP’s prime location, strong connectivity, and sustainability-driven design make it an attractive investment for businesses looking to expand and future-proof operations,” concluded Dato’ Seri Azmir Merican.
VBP is set to strengthen Negeri Sembilan’s positioning as a key industrial hub in Malaysia, while reinforcing Sime Darby Property’s leadership in the sector. Expanding from the success of Hamilton Nilai City, XME Nilai, and Serenia Industrial Park in the region, the development fosters a dynamic industrial ecosystem that will drive long
term economic resilience cementing its role as a key driver for regional industrial growth.
