Speed

Warehouses do not require much hassle to be construct. If companies built their warehouses, they would be built very quickly. However, getting all the necessary permits, utilities and location next to highway exits should be arrange for and agree upon. This can add to the time and cost of constructing a warehouse. However, in warehouses located in industrial parks, the whole process takes much less time as all the utilities and requirements are connected to the industrial park’s location and are prepared in advance for development. The permits are already granted, making the process much more manageable.

Investment Opportunities

Freestanding warehouses are pretty common, but the warehouses that acquired the most funding are located inside the industrial park. This makes sense from an investor’s point of view as custom-built warehouses are easier to adapt for speculative leasing in an industrial park than outside. The reasons for this assumption are the same- management Synergy and infrastructure. Many players in the market would instead rent than have their own warehouses. In certain situations, a developer may have surplus space for some time. If they are located in an industrial park, they find tenants for occupying that space more quickly than when they are freestanding. Thus, the residence status gives certain freedom of action that adapts to changes in company strategy or requirements space after a certain period.
