Formerly an oil palm plantation owned by Batu Kawan Bhd, Batu Kawan covers 6,781 acres. The opening of the Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge in 2014 helped create further interest in Batu Kawan. Notable developers in Batu Kawan include Eco World Development Group Bhd, Aspen Group Bhd and Paramount Corp Bhd. Since the development of the Batu Kawan Industrial Park (BKIP), the area has attracted many international companies. Property consultants believe that Batu Kawan will continue to grow, thanks to population growth, the expanding industrial sector, and new property projects in the pipeline.
