Mitraland Group has partnered with RHB Bank Bhd to introduce the SME Green Building Financing Scheme, a financing initiative designed to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) invest in sustainable industrial and commercial properties while gaining earlier access to working capital.
The scheme combines property financing with business funding support, enabling companies to secure capital for operational setup, equipment purchases, business expansion and cash flow management during the early stages of their investment journey.
The financing programme is available to purchasers of Mitraland’s GreenRE-certified developments, namely ELEV8 Entrepreneurs’ Park in Dengkil and Novva Nexus, a Grade A office tower located within the Gravit8 township in Klang South. Eligible buyers who submit industrial property financing applications before Dec 31, 2026, may also benefit from preferential financing packages.
A key feature of the scheme is the availability of financing of up to 205%, which can cover property acquisition costs, insurance premiums and working capital requirements. This comprehensive financing structure is intended to reduce entry barriers for SMEs while encouraging investment in environmentally sustainable commercial and industrial assets.
According to Mitraland Group chief executive officer Chris Chen, the collaboration demonstrates both parties’ commitment to advancing sustainable development and improving access to financing for businesses and entrepreneurs. He noted that the scheme supports SMEs in acquiring green-certified properties while providing additional funding flexibility for business growth.
RHB Banking Group managing director of group corporate and business banking Wendy Ting highlighted that the initiative goes beyond traditional property financing by allowing SMEs to access working capital before project completion. This enables businesses to better manage cash flow, operational expenses and expansion plans during critical growth phases.
She added that as sustainability expectations from customers and business partners continue to rise, businesses are becoming increasingly conscious of how they invest and expand. The financing scheme aims to help SMEs meet these evolving requirements while strengthening their long-term growth prospects.
