Warehouse for Rent in Tanjung Langsat and Pasir Gudang offers Singapore companies the most competitive logistics space rates in the JS-SEZ, with direct port access for marine cargo. Johor Port Authority.
Overview: Warehouse Space in Tanjung Langsat and Pasir Gudang — Warehouse for Rent
Tanjung Langsat and Pasir Gudang form Johor’s primary port-industrial corridor — the densest concentration of logistics and warehousing real estate in Johor, sitting between Malaysia’s third-largest port and the eastern Straits of Johor. For Singapore companies needing Malaysia-based warehousing, cross-border distribution, or port-adjacent storage, this corridor offers an unmatched combination of connectivity, established infrastructure, and competitive rents. This guide covers available warehouse types, current market rates, and what to check before signing a lease.
Quick Facts
- Location: Tanjung Langsat Industrial Complex and Pasir Gudang port area, eastern Johor
- Distance from Causeway: ~35 km / 35–50 min
- Warehouse rent range: RM 0.75–1.50 psf/month

Key takeaway: Tanjung Langsat is better suited than Pasir Gudang for general logistics — newer facilities, better road access, and a cleaner industrial environment. Pasir Gudang port-adjacent warehousing makes sense only when you need direct proximity to Pasir Gudang Port’s bulk/breakbulk terminals.
Tanjung Langsat Industrial Complex
Tanjung Langsat is a 3,620-acre integrated industrial complex developed by Tanjung Langsat Port Sdn Bhd, featuring a dedicated jetty for bulk liquid cargo, a petrochemical cluster, and general industrial facilities. The complex is better planned than the older Pasir Gudang estates — wider internal roads, more modern warehousing, and better environmental management systems.
| Facility Type | Size Range | Rent (psf/mth) | Specification |
|---|---|---|---|
| General warehouse | 10,000–50,000 sqft | RM 0.80–1.20 | 8–10m clear height, dock levellers, concrete floor |
| Chemical/liquid storage | 5,000–20,000 sqft | RM 1.20–2.00 | HDPE bunding, chemical-resistant flooring, DOE compliant |
| Cold storage | 2,000–15,000 sqft | RM 2.00–3.50 | -18°C to +5°C range; food-grade certification |
| Open yard (container storage) | 1–5 acres | RM 0.08–0.15 psf/mth | Hardstanding; container stackable |
Key Considerations for Warehouse Leasing
- Clear height. Standard general warehousing requires minimum 8m for single-deck racking with forklift. For double-deck racking or automated storage/retrieval systems (ASRS), 12m+ is needed — this significantly narrows available options.
- Floor loading. Standard warehouse slab: 20–35 kN/m² for racking with goods. Heavier industrial storage may require 50+ kN/m². Always get the structural engineer’s certification of actual floor loading capacity before installing racking.
- Dock levellers and truck access. For container-based logistics: minimum 4m × 4m dock door opening, 40-foot container turning radius in the yard, and dock leveller rated to your pallet/goods weight. Inspect this before signing — not all warehouses have adequate container access.
- Fire protection. BOMBA (Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department) certification and sprinkler specifications vary by goods hazard classification. If storing flammable or hazardous goods, confirm the warehouse’s fire protection system matches your DOE hazard classification.
