The lot area of 3654 sqm allows for the construction of 12 warehouses, each thoughtfully designed to offer both functionality and visual appeal. The design emphasizes ease of access, spacious interiors, and modern facilities to cater to the logistics, storage, and operational needs of businesses.


Key Features of the Warehouse Design

1. Modern Facade Materials

The warehouses are designed with a focus on aesthetics, using high-quality modern facade materials that not only enhance the appearance but also contribute to durability and low maintenance.

  • Aluminium cladding and glass panels for a sleek, professional look.
  • Concrete and steel structural elements to ensure longevity and strength.
  • Energy-efficient windows that maximize natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.
