Manufacturers are not just considering government incentives and ready built infrastructure and utilities when choosing a location to set a manufacturing plant. Emphasis and priority is also being placed towards the benefits and convenience offered to workers. This has caused a shift of demand from traditional industrial parks to modern, eco-friendly industrial facilities.

To cope with market demand, industrial parks in Johor have evolved from traditional dull and monotonous factory buildings to modern and contemporary buildings that are either gated or guarded. Furthermore, land use within the parks tend to be mixed and flexible to ensure the integration of “live, work and play” elements and includes recreational parks, worker’s dormitory and other conveniences for inhabitants.
