The launch of Eco Business Park 7 (EBP 7) marks a pivotal moment in Negeri Sembilan’s economic trajectory and the broader ambition of Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0 (MVV 2.0). As the first industrial development in Parcel C, the 1,195-acre project does more than open a new chapter for the corridor — it initiates the long-anticipated transformation of this strategic zone into a vibrant industrial and logistics hub that will strengthen the Central Region’s industrial landscape.

EBP 7 is the result of a robust public–private partnership between Eco World Development Group Bhd (EcoWorld), SD Guthrie through its wholly owned subsidiary SD Guthrie Land Ventures Sdn Bhd (SDGLV), and NS Corporation, the state agency driving the MVV 2.0 agenda. This collaboration unites EcoWorld’s expertise in industrial park development, SD Guthrie’s strategic land resources and NS Corp’s long-term economic vision for the state — collectively shaping an industrial ecosystem designed to attract quality investments and generate skilled employment.

Located on freehold land in Mukim Jimah, Port Dickson, Eco Business Park 7 enjoys strategic access to key regional and national transport corridors. Its proximity to the proposed Nilai–Labu–Enstek Expressway (NLE) will further enhance connectivity, providing seamless links to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), Port Klang and the PLUS Highway — critical arteries for manufacturing, logistics and high-technology operations. This level of accessibility strengthens EBP 7’s appeal to businesses that depend on efficient supply chains, workforce mobility and regional reach.

With an estimated GDV of RM3 billion, EBP 7 serves as the anchor development for Parcel C under the Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0 (MVV 2.0) blueprint. As the first industrial project to be launched within the parcel, it establishes the development benchmark for a zone earmarked for industrial and logistics clustering, clearly signalling the transition from masterplanning to implementation.

At the official launch and opening of its sales gallery last month, YAB Dato’ Seri Utama Haji Aminuddin Bin Harun, Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan and Chairman of NS Corporation, described EBP 7 as a landmark development that reflects the state’s strategy of leveraging public–private partnerships to deliver long-term economic outcomes.

He noted that MVV 2.0 is a state-led, private sector–driven initiative designed to attract high-impact industries, generate quality employment and strengthen Negeri Sembilan’s competitiveness within the Central Region. In this context, EBP 7 was positioned not merely as a standalone industrial park, but as a catalytic project that would accelerate the activation of Parcel C and reinforce investor confidence in the corridor.

Phase 1 of Eco Business Park 7 is anchored by the SME Core, a carefully planned launch phase designed to meet the operational and growth needs of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The strong market response has been immediate: approximately 85% of the Phase 1 SME Core has already been taken up, underscoring investor confidence in EBP 7’s location, product offering and long-term value proposition.

The first phase offer a mix of scalable factory and industrial land options, all set within a secure freehold industrial address. With completion targeted for 4Q 2028, businesses are able to plan expansions and capital deployment with clarity and certainty — a key consideration for SMEs navigating long-term growth strategies.

To cater to varying operational requirements, the SME Core features ready-built cluster factories in 60’ x 100’ (3,300 sq ft) and 60’ x 120’ (3,900 sq ft) configurations, with prices starting from RM1.9 million. These units are well-suited for light manufacturing, logistics, assembly and technology-driven operations, offering a cost-efficient entry point into a modern industrial ecosystem.

For businesses requiring greater scale and flexibility, semi-detached factories are available in  75’ x 140’ formats, providing 5,900 sq ft of built-up space from RM3 million. These larger layouts support higher-value manufacturing, automation-intensive processes and future expansion, making them attractive to growing enterprises and established operators.

EBP 7 also offers prime industrial land parcels ranging from 1 to 5 acres (up to 2.02ha) at RM75-RM80 per sq ft, giving companies full autonomy to develop bespoke facilities tailored to their operational needs. Larger tracts are available for enterprises seeking to consolidate regional operations or develop purpose-built manufacturing plants.

Across all ready-built factories, EBP 7 incorporates design features commonly associated with EcoWorld’s industrial developments. These include high ceilings, flexible floor layouts, , and an emphasis on natural lighting and ventilation through skylights and large windows — enhancing energy efficiency while supporting modern production requirements.

Taken together, the strong take-up rate of the Phase 1 SME Core reflects market confidence in EBP 7 as a competitive industrial destination. For SMEs and industrial players alike, the development offers not only a range of practical, scalable products, but also a foothold within a masterplanned ecosystem positioned for long-term growth in the Central Region.

Within the development, EBP 7 offers facilities designed to create a balanced, self-sustaining industrial environment. These include a dedicated worker dormitory to support workforce accessibility and business incubator spaces intended to nurture emerging enterprises.

At its core lies a 30-acre business district, envisioned as the commercial and social heart of the park. This is complemented by 60 acres of green lungs, complete with jogging and cycling tracks — providing recreational space and enhancing the overall liveability of the industrial environment.

Sustainability features are woven throughout the masterplan. Solar-powered parks and roadways help reduce carbon emissions and long-term energy costs. A rainwater harvesting system supports resource conservation, while flood and weather monitoring systems enhance safety and business continuity. Building designs are optimised for natural ventilation and daylight, reducing reliance on artificial cooling and lighting. Meanwhile, lifestyle, retail and medical needs are well supported by AEON Mall Seremban 2 , Mitsui Outlet Park and major hospitals such as Aurelius Hospital, Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital and Columbia Asia Hospital. This concentration of amenities strengthens the park’s appeal to employers and employees alike.

Taken as a whole, Eco Business Park 7 represents more than the launch of a new industrial development. It reflects a maturing approach to industrial planning — one that integrates location, infrastructure, sustainability and human capital into a cohesive ecosystem. 

From its role as the anchor project for Parcel C, to the strong take-up of its SME Core and the breadth of amenities designed to support businesses and workers alike, developments like EBP 7 position Negeri Sembilan to compete effectively for the next wave of high-quality investments.

For investors and businesses, EBP 7 offers not just space to operate, but a platform to grow — within a masterplanned industrial hub built for the demands of the next decade.
