Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS) is a statutory body established on 1 August 1964 under the Selangor State Development Corporation Enactment (1964), operating as the official development agency for the Malaysian state of Selangor. Headquartered at the Green Building Index-compliant Laman PKNS in Shah Alam, the company develops and sells residential, commercial, and industrial properties across multiple Selangor townships, manages land sales and leasing portfolios, and operates the GRIP (Green Industrial Park) managed industrial facility at Kota Puteri Crown City. PKNS also administers the Rumah Selangorku affordable housing program in partnership with the Selangor State Government, targeting Malaysian citizens with household incomes between RM3,001 and RM8,000 per month. The company maintains over 14 subsidiaries spanning property development, hospitality, healthcare, renewable energy, facility management, education, and MSME development.

Proprietary features include smart living integration (EV charging, energy-efficient design), eco-construction practices, and the GRIP managed industrial park concept positioning sustainability as a brand differentiator.
