Oriental Kopi to Acquire Its Puchong HQ for RM23 Million
Fast-growing kopitiam chain operator Oriental Kopi Holdings Bhd is taking a strategic step to secure its long-term expansion by purchasing the Puchong factory lot it currently rents.
The group’s wholly owned unit, Oriental Coffee International Sdn Bhd, has agreed to acquire the leasehold industrial property in Taman Perindustrian Putra, Puchong, for RM23 million.
This move reflects not just operational streamlining—but growing investor confidence in Selangor’s industrial property sector.
Property Details: A Strategic Commercial Site in Taman Perindustrian Putra
The property sits on approximately 5,260 square metres (about 1.3 acres) of leasehold land and comes with a fully built-up factory lot.
Located along Jalan TPP 3, the site is currently home to Oriental Kopi’s head office and warehouse.
📍 Location Highlights:
-
Mature industrial zone in Puchong
-
Easy access to LDP, KESAS, and Elite Expressway
-
Surrounded by logistics, F&B, and light manufacturing operations
The seller, Icon Facade Sdn Bhd, is a private aluminium and glass specialist in the construction sector.
Why Oriental Kopi Is Buying Instead of Renting
According to its stock exchange filing, Oriental Kopi believes acquiring the site offers key operational and financial benefits, including:
-
✅ Cost savings: Avoid rising rents and reduce logistics costs
-
✅ Security of tenure: Eliminate risk of lease termination
-
✅ Asset ownership: Gain long-term control over strategic infrastructure
-
✅ Business continuity: Ensure stable HQ operations for future growth
Given the brand’s rapid expansion and IPO in recent years, owning key operational real estate aligns with a more sustainable and scalable growth strategy.

Implications for Puchong’s Industrial and Commercial Market
This acquisition reflects broader market trends in the Greater Klang Valley industrial property sector, where more owner-occupiers are moving to secure sites as rents rise and land becomes scarce.
📈 Key Takeaways for Investors and Business Owners:
-
Puchong remains a hotbed for SME logistics, food production, and light industrial businesses
-
Leasehold industrial units in mature townships are gaining value due to limited new supply
-
Factory lots with highway frontage or accessibility can command a premium in the resale or rental market
Many Malaysian businesses are reassessing rental strategies, and Oriental Kopi’s move could set a precedent for other fast-growing F&B or retail operators.
Leasehold Doesn’t Deter Strategic Acquisitions
The site is leasehold, a factor that sometimes deters small-scale buyers. However, for well-situated commercial and industrial lots—especially in strategic zones like Puchong—the benefits often outweigh the title limitations.
-
Long-term leasehold (often 60+ years) offers ample usage horizon
-
The property’s income-generating nature can support loan approval
-
Land scarcity in central Selangor continues to support asset appreciation
What Should Buyers and Tenants in Puchong Watch For?
If you’re a business owner or investor looking to buy or lease industrial property in Selangor, here’s what to watch:
✅ 1. Location with Built-In Demand
-
Areas near highways, populated townships, and MRT/LRT corridors are in high demand.
-
Taman Perindustrian Putra is a textbook example of a well-connected, value-holding location.
✅ 2. Operational Flexibility
-
Factory lots that allow warehousing, light manufacturing, or even F&B central kitchens have wider appeal.
✅ 3. Strong Surrounding Ecosystem
-
Look for nearby logistics support, raw material suppliers, and last-mile delivery access.
-
Businesses like Oriental Kopi benefit from being near vendors, highways, and a ready workforce.
Final Thoughts: A Smart Move by a Fast-Rising Brand
In an age of rising rent volatility and supply constraints, Oriental Kopi’s decision to own instead of rent is a sound one—especially as it anchors future expansion on a secure operational foundation.
For real estate watchers, this deal also reaffirms the investment-grade quality of commercial and industrial land in Puchong, particularly for mid-sized enterprises.
As more local brands scale up, expect a growing shift from leasehold dependency to strategic property ownership—especially for companies with long-term brand visions like Oriental Kopi.
