PETALING JAYA (Nov 11): Matrix Concepts Holdings Bhd is taking an integrated township approach to its development in the Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0 (MVV 2.0) corridor, combining industrial, commercial and residential components to serve businesses and their workforce. Its general manager of group sales and marketing Chris Choy Ying Loong said attracting industrial investors required more than land and factory buildings. Connectivity, supporting infrastructure and the living environment available to employees also influenced where businesses chose to establish operations.
Speaking at the Malaysia Industrial Forum 2026, Choy said housing, schools and recreational facilities were important considerations for companies seeking to attract and retain talent. Matrix’s 2,382-acre MVV City Phase 1 development is planned as an integrated township within the wider MVV 2.0 corridor, bringing together industrial activities, a commercial component known as MVV Exchange and a residential component called MVV Gardens.
The approach draws on Matrix’s experience at Bandar Sri Sendayan, where industrial development sits alongside housing, schools, commercial areas and recreational facilities. Choy said Matrix had about 15 years of industrial development experience, including Sendayan TechValley, where it had attracted manufacturers from China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Germany, France and the United States.
In the early stages, the company’s efforts to attract investors centred on presenting its master plan and development vision. Operating factories and surrounding amenities had since helped establish the area as an industrial location, he said. He attributed that progress to consistent delivery and Matrix’s development track record, alongside market timing.
Bandar Sri Sendayan spans more than 6,800 acres and includes schools, recreational facilities, places of worship and commercial areas. Choy said these facilities helped businesses address their employees’ needs beyond the workplace. Drawing on Matrix’s earlier industrial development experience, Choy said businesses needed different plot sizes and land configurations to suit their operations. Rather than focus only on smaller plots, the company had opted to offer a wider range to accommodate varying requirements across the industrial value chain.
Beyond individual townships, Choy said infrastructure and connectivity were essential to developing MVV 2.0, providing access to industrial sites and supporting the movement of goods and people. The state-led, private sector-driven corridor spans approximately 379,087 acres across Seremban and Port Dickson and aims to attract investment and create business and employment opportunities. Choy highlighted Midport, the planned smart artificial intelligence (AI) container port in Port Dickson, as infrastructure that could support the corridor’s growth. The project held its groundbreaking ceremony in July 2026. According to a report carried on developer Tanco Holdings Bhd’s website, Midport is planned to have a handling capacity of up to eight million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) upon full completion. Choy said completion was targeted for 2030.
Matrix is seeking further participation from investors and developers to support the growth of the MVV 2.0 corridor, he added.
