I am Ken Cheow, an industrial and commercial real estate specialist based in Johor, Malaysia.

Since joining The Roof Realty in 2018, I have worked with local and international clients from China, the United States, Europe, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and beyond to supporting corporate expansions, relocations, acquisitions, leasing and investments.

My role goes beyond introducing properties.

I focus on understanding each client’s business operations, facility requirements, commercial objectives and long term plans before proposing practical real estate solutions.

Industrial Real Estate Focus
My team and I specialise in:

* Factories & Manufacturing Facilities
* Warehouses & Logistics Facilities
* Industrial Land
* Build to Suit Requirements
* Corporate Expansion & Relocation
* Industrial Property Acquisition & Leasing
* Investment Properties

With extensive exposure across Johor’s key industrial corridors, we support manufacturers, corporate occupiers, investors and business owners from market exploration and site selection through evaluation, negotiation and transaction.

For industrial requirements, the right property is not determined by location and price alone. Operational suitability, infrastructure, power supply requirements, accessibility, facility specifications and expansion potential can be equally important.

Our responsibility is to understand these requirements before recommending a solution.

Leadership & Track Record
I began my career as an individual negotiator before founding the TRR Johor Bahru Industrial Team in 2020 and The Pillars Group in 2021.

Today, The Pillars Group has grown to nearly 150 full time real estate negotiators.

Selected Career Milestones & Recognition

* TRR Top Rising Star Award (2018)
* TRR Agent of the Year & Nationwide Top 10 Sales (2019)
* Founded TRR Johor Bahru Industrial Team (2020)
* Founded The Pillars Group (2021)
* Outstanding Leadership Award (2023)
* TRR Top 50 Achiever — Malaysia Book of Records Achievement (2023)
* Multi Million Leader & TRR Leader of the Year — Champion (2024)
* First Class Multi Million Leader (2025)

To me, these milestones represent more than recognition. They reflect consistency, responsibility and the trust placed in us over the years.

An Owner & Investor Perspective
My real estate journey has also led me to become an industrial property owner and investor.

This gives me an additional perspective when advising clients. I evaluate property not only from a transaction perspective, but also through operational suitability, commercial value, risk and long term potential.

When capital and business operations are involved, a property decision must make sense beyond the transaction itself.

Our Approach
A significant part of our business is built through referrals and long term relationships.

We believe trust is earned through integrity, transparency and professional responsibility.

Every business is different.

Listen carefully. Understand precisely. Propose responsibly.

From a solo negotiator to building a group of nearly 150 professionals, the principle has remained unchanged:

Create real value.
Earn lasting trust.
Stand firm on integrity.

If your business is considering an expansion, relocation, acquisition, leasing requirement or industrial property investment in Johor, my team and I are ready to understand your objectives and support your next property decision.
