KUALA LUMPUR, June 26 — IJM Corp Bhd’s (IJM) wholly-owned subsidiary has been awarded a RM653.6 million contract to develop phase one of the Shah Alam International Logistics Hub (SAILH).
In a statement today, IJM said the project, commissioned by Global Vision Logistics (GVL) to IJM Construction Sdn Bhd, would establish the country’s first green-certified logistics hub, one of the largest in the Asean region.
“Construction is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of this year, with an estimated completion timeline of 26 months.
“Upon completion of phase one in 2025, the development will have a total net lettable area of 2.8 million square feet,” it said.
Located on a 28.73-hectare site in Shah Alam, the facility would feature cutting-edge logistics infrastructure, advanced technology and systems, and a range of sustainable elements.
Phase one of SAILH includes a four-storey warehouse complex, a four-storey multi-level parking facility, and a one-storey office alongside ancillary buildings, including testing and commissioning works.
The SAILH contract further strengthens IJM Construction’s outstanding order book to RM5.1 billion, comprising a mix of high-profile private and public sector projects in building construction and civil engineering.
“Our partnership with GVL allows us to create a world-class logistics hub that not only aligns with our net zero commitments but also sets new industry benchmarks,” said IJM group chief executive officer and managing director Lee Chun Fai.
According to the statement, SAILH will incorporate eco-friendly features from construction to operational phases which include the use of low-carbon building materials during construction to the installation of solar panels, efficient water fittings and energy-efficient lighting, elevators and air-cooling systems. — Bernama
