Given its established presence in Johor since 1997 and rising private/foreign investments at Iskandar, it made sense to venture into industrial properties. In 2011, Setia Business Park was launched. It was well sought after, with Singapore-based companies moving in.

Setia Business Park 1 and 2 set the benchmark for an eco-friendly development, catering to businesses with strong green credentials, as well as those that required clean manufacturing facilities. Both business parks are strategically located and served by world-class infrastructural facilities and connectivity.

 

They are regarded as the international gateway for high-value investments and business expansion. The facilities offered by Setia Business Park 2 include covered parking, high-speed broadband Internet infrastructure, recycling systems, and 24hr security surveillance.
