If you are looking for industrial space around Kota Kinabalu's southern side, Putatan Gateway Socio-Industry is the new project to put on the map. The development brings 43 two-storey light industrial units to a 13.41-acre site in Putatan, with the developer positioning it for businesses that need warehouse, production, showroom and office space in one address.
The official Putatan Gateway project site lists 43 units on 13.41 acres. It describes the project as a modern light industrial enclave, with semi-detached two-storey industrial units and a mixed-use industrial environment aimed at adaptable business operations.
The location is the practical part. The project site says Putatan Gateway is about 1km from the Putatan interchange of the Pan Borneo Highway, 2km from Putatan town, 5km from Kota Kinabalu International Airport and 10km from Kota Kinabalu city. For occupiers moving goods through the city, the airport or the wider west coast road network, those distances are the selling point.
See Hua Daily, reporting on the launch on 22 September 2026, said Putatan Gateway is being developed by Golden Land Berhad and its project company Putatan Emas Sdn Bhd. It reported that the project will be delivered in two phases: 18 semi-detached light industrial factories in the first phase, followed by 22 semi-detached units and three detached factory units in the second phase.
Unit scale is aimed at small and mid-sized operators rather than heavy industrial users. The official site lists semi-detached units with a built-up area of 4,650 sq ft and land areas from 8,590 sq ft to 12,985 sq ft. See Hua reported a wider land-area range up to 15,056 sq ft, so buyers should confirm the exact lot size for the specific unit type they are considering.
For a factory buyer, the details to check are straightforward:
- The project is positioned for light industrial, showroom, office and warehouse combinations.
- See Hua reported floor loading of 10kN per sq m for warehouse areas and 5kN per sq m for showroom areas.
- The official site highlights modular frontage walls, future mezzanine potential and three-phase power supply.
- The project's Rummah launch page is now live for buyers tracking the project.
Putatan Gateway is Golden Land's second Kota Kinabalu project after The Playground @ Kota Kinabalu, according to See Hua. For Sabah businesses that have outgrown rented shoplot-style premises, the pitch is simple: a purpose-built light industrial address close to the airport and the Pan Borneo Highway, without moving far from the city.
