The strategic partnership aims to position EBP 7 as a future-ready hub for high-value investments.
ECO Business Park 7 (EBP 7) is designed to meet the modern needs of industrialists, offering a blend of innovation, connectivity and sustainability to support a new generation of high-value businesses.
Developed through a joint venture between Eco World Development Group Bhd, SD Guthrie Bhd and NS Corp, EBP 7 is positioned to reshape the region’s industrial landscape with its forward-looking planning, strategic location and integrated ecosystem.
With a gross development value of RM2.95bil, the project has already attracted strong market confidence – its first phase, SME Core, has achieved an impressive 85% take-up rate since launch.
Anchored in MVV 2.0
Spanning 483.6ha (1,195 acres), EBP 7 is strategically located within the Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0 (MVV 2.0) economic region in the Labu district of Negri Sembilan.
MVV 2.0 is a large-scale development corridor anchored on four key economic drivers – high-tech industry, services and tourism, education and research, and logistics and aviation.
As a major component of Parcel C, EBP 7 sits within an area specifically earmarked for industrial, logistics and economic clusters, positioning it at the heart of MVV 2.0’s long-term growth plans.
This prime positioning is not incidental, as EBP 7 is purpose-built to be the nucleus driving the future of clean and efficient industry in the region.
The park’s location in Labu is perfectly integrated into a mature industrial ecosystem, offering enhanced accessibility and connectivity for modern commerce.
It enjoys direct access to Jalan Salak Besar and is less than 1km away from the Nilai-Labu-Enstek Expressway.
For national and international logistics, its proximity to KLIA Expressway (18km), North-South Expressway (21km) and Elite Highway (25km) makes global supply chain management more efficient.
Beyond transportation links, the development benefits from an abundance of surrounding amenities, such as renowned educational institutions like INTI International University, KPJ Healthcare University and Nilai University.
Lifestyle and medical needs are also met by nearby centres such as Aeon Nilai and Mitsui Outlet Park and hospitals, such as Aurelius Hospital, Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital and Columbia Asia Hospital.
Masterplan for growth
EBP 7’s masterplan has been crafted to support a diverse range of targeted industries.
This includes small and medium enterprises (SMEs), halal-related sectors, life sciences, aerospace, logistics, cold chain and warehousing, and electrical and electronics (E&E).
Phase 1 of the development offers a selection of 372 units across various scalable factory and land options, designed to accommodate businesses of all sizes.
Targeted for completion in 4Q28, it ensures businesses can plan for long-term growth on a secure freehold land tenure.
Cluster factory options are available in 60’ x 100’ (3,300 sq ft) and 60’ x 120’ (3,900 sq ft) built-ups, with prices starting from RM1.9mil.
Semi-detached factory options are available in large format units, at 75’ x 130’ and 75’ x 140’ layout configurations with 5,900 sq ft built-ups and prices starting from RM3mil.
Meanwhile, prime industrial land lots, up to 2.02ha (one to five acres), are available at RM75 per sq ft.
The park’s commitment to creating a holistic environment is also evident in its facilities, which move beyond standard industrial provisions.
These include a dedicated worker dormitory within the development, as well as business incubator facilities to support emerging enterprises.
Central to the community is the 12.14ha (30-acre) business district, complemented by 24.28ha (60 acres) of green lungs, complete with jogging and cycling tracks, ensuring a balanced, productive environment for workers and management alike.
Next-gen business
The key to EBP 7 lies in its “eco” approach, which integrates cutting-edge infrastructure and sustainability features.
EBP 7, designed as a smart business park, leverages technological advancements for efficiency and environmental stewardship.
Within the development, all parks and streets are solar-powered to reduce carbon footprint and operational costs.
It also features a comprehensive rainwater harvesting system to promote water conservation, while flood and weather monitoring systems ensure business continuity and asset protection.
Additionally, factories are designed with optimal orientation to minimise heat gain, while maximising natural ventilation and daylight to reduce reliance on artificial cooling and lighting.
In terms of green logistics, the park is fitted with electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, facilitating the transition to EV commercial vehicles.
Moreover, EBP 7 ensures that tenants can operate their businesses without friction through virtually uninterrupted water and electricity supply, high-speed broadband connectivity and wide, reinforced roads capable of handling heavy logistics traffic.
Adding to the operational certainty is the park’s round-the-clock advanced security.
As a gated and guarded compound, backed by trained security personnel, auxiliary police and a digital visitor management system, it ensures that assets are protected 24/7.
Trusted pedigree
The EBP 7 project was officially launched on Nov 11 during an event that coincided with the grand opening of its sales gallery.
The ceremony was officiated by Negri Sembilan Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun, who said that the project could boost the state’s industrial growth, showcasing its significance to the state’s economic future.
This landmark development leverages on the combined expertise of its key partners to deliver a next-generation industrial park within the MVV 2.0 economic region.
The EBP 7 sales gallery is now open to the public, offering prospective investors and business owners the chance to view the industrial lots and standard-built factories.
