**Mak Mandin Industrial Area** offers well-serviced industrial units with established infrastructure, popular with light to medium manufacturing operators.

**Batu Kawan** is Penang newest industrial growth corridor. Large land parcels, modern infrastructure, and proximity to the Penang Second Bridge make this a strong long-term investment zone.

**Ceiling/eave height** — minimum 6 metres required for most modern operations
