MB World Launches RM2.03 Billion MBW Innexus Industrial City in Johor

Johor’s transformation into a regional investment powerhouse has taken another major step forward with the launch of MBW Innexus Industrial City, a 732-acre freehold heavy industrial project by MB World Group Bhd through its subsidiary Rising Gateway Sdn Bhd. Strategically located within the Forest City Special Financial Zone (SFZ), part of the Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), the development carries a gross development value of RM2.03 billion.

Strategic Location Near Key Ports

MBW Innexus enjoys a prime location in Tanjung Langsat, just 6km from Tanjung Langsat Port and 14km from Johor Port. It also offers excellent connectivity to both Senai International Airport and Singapore’s Changi Airport, providing global logistics advantages for investors, manufacturers, and exporters.

This connectivity positions MBW Innexus as a regional logistics and industrial hub, capitalizing on Johor’s growing role as a bridge between Malaysia and Singapore.

Smart & ESG-Aligned Infrastructure

To future-proof the development, MB World has partnered with Telekom Malaysia’s TM One to design the Smart Industrial Park Blueprint for MBW Innexus. This includes:

Enterprise 5G connectivity
Internet of Things (IoT) integration
AI-powered surveillance systems
Cloud-based digital infrastructure
ESG-compliant, sustainable facilities

Such features ensure that MBW Innexus will meet the demands of modern industries while attracting multinational corporations (MNCs) and SMEs seeking resilience and efficiency in their operations.

Financing & Development Phases

A bilateral financing agreement with Maybank Islamic Bhd worth RM635.6 million has been secured to support project delivery.

Phase 1, comprising 13 industrial plots, is scheduled for completion by Q2 2027, paving the way for long-term development that will include industrial parks, commercial zones, affordable housing, and community facilities.

Government Support & JS-SEZ Advantages

The launch was officiated by Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, who highlighted how MBW Innexus will benefit from pilot policies under the JS-SEZ. These policies are designed to:

Reduce bureaucratic red tape
Accelerate investment approvals
Ease immigration, customs, and talent mobility

Tengku Zafrul emphasized that Johor’s talent base and supply chain ecosystem will be a boon for MBW Innexus investors, while also catalyzing co-location opportunities for SMEs and MNCs to strengthen supply chain resilience.

Impact on Johor’s Growth & Property Market

According to MB World executive director Datuk Rohman Ahmad, MBW Innexus is not just an economic catalyst but also a community-focused development. It will integrate industrial, residential, and commercial elements, creating real value for residents, workers, and businesses.

For property investors, the rise of projects like MBW Innexus signals a new growth frontier in Johor. The JS-SEZ and Forest City SFZ are set to boost demand for both industrial and residential assets, driving long-term appreciation in property values across southern Johor.
