For an industrial park to attract and retain tenants efficiently, it must go beyond zoning and utility readiness. The design layout, flexibility, and functionality of the park play a critical role in increasing lease-up speed, tenant satisfaction, and long-term occupancy rates. Well-planned parks create operational ease, cost efficiency, and future-proofing for diverse users.
Below are the key design features that significantly enhance lease-up success:
1. Flexible Plot Sizes and Modular Layout
- Offer a range of plot sizes (e.g., 0.5 to 5+ acres) to cater to MSMEs, medium, and large-scale units.
- Allow for plot consolidation or division based on tenant demand.
- Provide pre-defined build-to-suit options for quick setup.
- Grid-based layout with looped road networks simplifies vehicle movement and expansion.
2. Wide, Heavy-Vehicle-Compatible Internal Roads
- Minimum 12–18 meter road width with strong pavement design for 40-ton trucks.
- Turning radii and access points are suitable for trailers and containerized transport.
- Separate entry/exit gates with weighbridges and queuing lanes for peak-hour traffic control.
3. Ready-to-Connect Utilities with Redundancy
- High-tension power, water lines, sewage, and drainage networks are in place before tenant arrival.
- Spare capacity for future load upgrades.
- Dual feeder power lines or captive power zones offer energy security.
4. Common Infrastructure and Shared Amenities
- On-site administrative office, security post, and visitor parking.
- Truck terminals, drivers’ rest areas, and canteen spaces improve tenant logistics.
- Shared stormwater ponds, STPs/CETPs, and firefighting infrastructure reduce individual tenant CAPEX.
5. Zoning and Regulatory Compliance Built In
- Pre-cleared land with industrial zoning, environmental approvals, and compliance buffer zones.
- Marked Green Belt, Fire Zones, Utility Corridors, and no-build areas.
- Simplifies approval timelines for tenants and enhances investor confidence.
