Freehold status means permanent ownership with no lease renewal required. In Malaysia, freehold landed property in a growing corridor like Kulim is a more secure long-term asset than leasehold — and easier to obtain full bank financing on.

3. KHTP: RM181.5 Billion & 45,000 Workers — The Engine Behind Kulim Property
Kulim’s property demand cannot be understood without understanding Kulim Hi-Tech Park (KHTP) — Malaysia’s first high-technology industrial park and the primary driver of housing demand in this area.
In H1 2024 alone, new investments worth RM30.3 billion were recorded at KHTP — showing undiminished momentum nearly 30 years after its establishment. Infineon alone announced a €7 billion SiC fab investment in Kulim in July 2025.
KTPC via Grokipedia (2026); Wikipedia KHTP (2026) — cumulative investment 1996–May 2025
| KHTP Milestone | Data | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Cumulative investment | RM181.5 billion | 1996–May 2025 |
| New investment H1 2024 | RM30.3 billion | H1 2024 |
| Total workforce | ~45,000 workers | 2025 |
| Operating companies | 100+ (Intel, Infineon, AT&S) | 2025 |
| Industrial zone size | 2,161 acres — 100% fully tenanted | 2024 |
| KHTP 2 expansion | 12,000 acres planned (from 5,557 acres) | Announced Nov 2024 |
| Infineon SiC fab investment | €7 billion | July 2025 |
The KHTP connection to Kulim’s property market is direct: approximately 45,000 workers employed at KHTP need somewhere to live. With the industrial zone already fully tenanted and a KHTP 2 expansion to 12,000 acres under planning, housing demand in Kulim is expected to keep growing. Projects like Taman Selasih Indah DSTH are the natural choice for professional workers who want to live close to their workplace without bearing Penang island property costs.
4. Kulim vs Penang: A RM313–513 psf Value Gap
Data from JPPH/NAPIC reveals a substantial value advantage for Kulim property compared to Penang and the national average.
| Location | Average Price / Median Terrace | PSF (estimate) | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kedah (State Average) | RM322,890 | ~RM230–350 psf | JPPH Q3 2025 |
| TSI Kulim (real transactions) | RM542,200 | RM387 psf | Brickz.my 2025 |
| Malaysia (National Average) | RM494,384 | — | JPPH Q3 2025 |
| Penang (State Average) | RM504,845 | RM700–900+ psf | JPPH Q3 2025 |
The +4.6% annual growth in Kedah’s terrace house price index (Q2 2025 vs Q2 2024) exceeds the national average of 4.2%. Kedah is also among the states recording positive residential transaction growth in H1 2025 per NAPIC.

TSI’s RM387 psf means buyers get nearly double the floor space versus a comparable terrace in established Penang areas at the same budget. For KHTP workers or those who commute across both states, this is a value proposition that is difficult to dismiss — particularly with BKE access to Butterworth at just ~26 km.
| Market Indicator | Data | Context |
|---|---|---|
| OPR (Bank Negara Malaysia) | 2.75% | Lowest in 5 years (BNM, Jul 2025) |
| Unemployment rate | 3.0% | Lowest in 10 years (end 2025) |
| 2026 price growth forecast | ~2% | Range 0–4% (Bamboo Routes, 2026) |
| Kedah residential transaction growth | Positive | H1 2025 (NAPIC H1 2025) |

ℹ️ Nota:
For under-construction purchases like TSI (~2026 completion), buyers typically pay progressive instalments during construction rather than full monthly repayments immediately. Check the Progressive Payment Schedule with the developer and ensure your cash flow can accommodate both the progressive payments and your current commitments before signing the SPA.
