GXO Signs Landmark Tenancy Deal with Equalbase Sunway 103° Free Commercial Zone
GXO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: GXO), the world’s largest pure-play contract logistics provider, has signed a long-term tenancy agreement with Equalbase, a Singapore-headquartered sustainable industrial real estate developer specializing in modern logistics and industrial spaces across Asia. The deal secures GXO the entire 720,000 square foot warehouse at 103° Free Commercial Zone Phase I in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
This state-of-the-art facility will serve as a central hub to support GXO customers across the region, boosting efficiency and strengthening their supply chains. The space is built to international standards in health, safety, compliance, and sustainability. Spanning 55 hectares with a gross development value of RM 8 billion, the project underscores a long-term commitment to Johor’s growth and regional logistics leadership.
Strategically located within the Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), the warehouse aligns with Malaysia’s national agenda to attract high-value investments, support regional economic integration, and boost Johor’s economic growth. The facility also facilitates cross-border trade with Singapore through streamlined customs processes and tax-efficient logistics benefits.
“This new, modern site represents our expanding business in the region and further adds to our global capabilities in the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone,” said Jorge Guanter, President, Americas and Asia Pacific, GXO.
“Along with its advanced logistics capabilities and superior safety and sustainability credentials, the site allows GXO to offer valuable free trade zone benefits to customers that need to import, store and export goods without incurring customs fees. Our new facility gives brands the flexibility and value they need while taking the complexity out of their global supply chain.”
With GXO moving in, Warehouses 1 and 2 of Phase I are now fully leased. The development of Phases 2 and 3 is underway, featuring advanced multistorey logistics facilities to meet growing regional demand for efficient distribution and last-mile logistics in Southeast Asia.
The project is also expected to generate new employment opportunities for Johoreans in operations, supply chain management, safety & compliance, and green logistics services. It is projected to create thousands of new jobs, advancing Malaysia’s national objectives for job creation and human capital development while contributing to the state’s growth targets.
“We’re thrilled to welcome GXO to 103°,” said Nicholas Bischoff, CEO of Equalbase. “This isn’t just a warehouse—it’s a grade A hub built for operational excellence and future growth. Partnering with GXO, a leader in innovation and sustainability, reflects our shared commitment to the next generation of logistics infrastructure.”
103° is the first Free Commercial Zone that is rapidly emerging as one of the most compelling logistics hubs in the region co-owned by Equalbase in partnership with Sunway Group, one of Southeast Asia’s foremost conglomerates. Its green-certified infrastructure, global-grade specifications, and strategic access to Singapore and Johor’s fast-evolving JS-SEZ make it a prime location for top-tier companies.
