PETALING JAYA: Tropicana Corp Bhd recently achieved a 100% take-up for Phase 1 of its first industrial venture, Tropicana Industrial Park in Iskandar Malaysia, Johor.

Its continuing success was seen in the recent sale of land parcels for RM200 million. The transactions highlight Tropicana Industrial Park’s appeal as the primary industrial hub in Johor’s Pontian district, catering for light and medium industries.

Tropicana managing director of Southern Karen Lee said with proximity to the Port of Tanjung Pelepas and the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link to Tuas in Singapore, Tropicana Industrial Park offers connectivity for investors with a host of centralised infrastructure, green features and facilities.

“This is seen in the swift takeup for Phase 1 to date. The recent transactions support the signature development’s rapid growth into a dynamic industrial hub that will propel enterprises forward,” said Lee in a statement today.
