Buying land

Size is only the first filter

Once the arithmetic works, the questions that decide whether a parcel suits your plant are zoning and land use category, plot ratio and setbacks, access for heavy vehicles, and the cost of bringing power and utilities to the boundary. Our industrial land listings set out location and size, and we can advise on the planning position of specific parcels.

Questions

Land measurement, answered

How many square feet are in an acre?

One acre is 43,560 square feet, or about 4,047 square metres. A hectare is 10,000 square metres, which works out to 107,639 square feet or roughly 2.47 acres. Malaysian industrial land is commonly marketed in acres while titles and approvals may use hectares or square metres, so the same parcel is often described three different ways.

Why is industrial land marketed in acres but priced per square foot?

Convention. Acreage communicates the scale of a site at a glance, while a per-square-foot rate makes parcels of different sizes directly comparable. To move between them, multiply the psf rate by 43,560 - land asking RM 60 psf is about RM 2.61 million per acre. The calculator does this conversion for you and totals the parcel value.

How do I compare a per-acre asking price with a psf price?

Divide the per-acre figure by 43,560 to get the psf rate, or multiply psf by 43,560 to get the per-acre figure. Comparing on the same basis matters in negotiations, because a rounded per-acre number can hide a meaningful psf difference across a large site - on a 10-acre parcel, a single ringgit psf is RM 435,600.

Can the marketed land size differ from the title?

Yes. Marketing particulars are often rounded, and the definitive area is the figure on the individual or strata title, sometimes stated in hectares or square metres. Survey adjustments, road reserves and surrender requirements can also shave usable area. Always verify the title area and any encumbrances before pricing a deal on a per-square-foot basis.
