Registered prices sit below many current asking prices because registered deals include older, smaller units, and because asking prices are where negotiation starts.
Rents for comparison
Registered factory tenancies in Semenyih & Beranang had a median of RM1.20 psf a month (typical RM0.77 to RM1.64): semi-detached RM1.17 (about RM9,000 a month for 9,720 sq ft) and detached RM1.36.
Is an Older Factory Worth It?
Saving = price gap − (renovation cost + cost of the months you cannot operate)
Example only: if a newer unit costs RM1.5 million more than a comparable older one, and the older one needs RM600,000 of work and three months of downtime, the older unit saves money; if it needs more than the gap, it does not. Ask two or three contractors to quote on site before you sign the SPA, covering wiring and power supply, floor repair, roof, office and fire safety upgrades.
A recent example: buying ready-built in Bandar Rinching
In April 2026 WTEC Group, a foam and fabric products maker, agreed to buy a ready-built detached factory with office in Bandar Rinching, Semenyih, from Athens Park Machineries for RM10.8 million, to consolidate manufacturing from four facilities under one roof (The Edge). In August 2026 it agreed to buy a second factory, still under construction, at I.MAS Industrial Park in Bandar Rinching for RM7.74 million (The Star). One buyer, both routes: a building it could use quickly, and a new one it would wait for.

How to Buy a Semi-D Factory in Semenyih
- Define your requirements: built-up area, land, power supply in amps, floor loading and ceiling height.
- Set a budget: compare asking prices with the registered semi-D median of RM3.6 million.
- Choose new or old using the saving test above.
- Check the title: freehold or leasehold, and the remaining lease.
- Check approvals: the CCC and approved use with the Majlis Perbandaran Kajang (MPKj); check older units against Selangor's unauthorised factory (KTK) list.
- Arrange financing: banks can lend up to about 85% to 90% of an industrial property's value, depending on the borrower and property; compare rates on our commercial loan rates page.
Common Pitfalls
- Skipping renovation quotes: structural problems found after the SPA can be costly.
- Ignoring land area: a small plot limits parking and future extension.
- Leasehold surprises: check the remaining lease on older leasehold units.
- Approval delays: modifications need MPKj approval.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a semi-D factory in Semenyih?
JPPH-registered semi-detached factories in Semenyih & Beranang sold at a median of RM3.6 million (RM260 psf of land) over the 24 months to July 2026. Current listings ask about RM4 million to RM8.5 million.
Should I buy a new factory or an old one and renovate?
Compare the price gap with the renovation cost plus the months you cannot operate. If renovation costs less than the gap, the older unit saves money; otherwise the new one is the better buy.
How much does it cost to renovate an older factory?
It depends on size, condition and your use. Get quotes from contractors after a site inspection; typical work covers wiring and power, floors, roof, office and fire safety.
How do I calculate my monthly loan repayment?
Monthly repayment = loan × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)^−n), where r is the monthly interest rate and n the number of months. A RM4 million loan at 4.5% a year over 20 years works out to about RM25,300 a month. Our mortgage calculator does the sum for you.
Are Semenyih factories freehold?
Most are. In the registered data, 137 freehold factory deals were recorded against 38 leasehold over the 24 months to July 2026.
