See How a Mixed Industrial Park Fills Your Whole Site
Start from a multi-building industrial park that fits itself to your parcel, with single-loaded and cross-loaded warehouses on internal drives. In one pass you see the total building area and dock doors the site supports, before it goes to committee.
How Many Warehouses Will Fit My Industrial Site?
TestFit is real estate feasibility software that generates site plans on your parcel and calculates what they yield. For a mixed industrial park, the answer comes down to three things that are hard to judge from a parcel map.
Two building types, one site
Deep parts of a parcel can carry a cross-loaded building; narrow strips only fit single-loaded. The mix you land on sets total building area and dock count.
Drives and courts take their share
Every building in a park needs truck access, and those drives and courts come out of the same acreage as the buildings. How efficiently they lay out moves the yield.
The edges decide the yield
Setbacks, neighbors and irregular lot lines leave strips a big box can't use. Whether those edges hold buildings decides how much of the site earns rent.
From Your Parcel to a Deal You Can Underwrite
Start from the industrial park your team would build, tune it to your standards, and finish with one model for the site, plan, tabulation and pro forma.
Your parcel and its constraints
- Site boundary: pick the parcel from built-in parcel data with current owner info, draw it, enter metes and bounds, or import a KML/KMZ file
- Setbacks and frontage: front, side and rear setbacks set to the parcel edges
- Zoning: FAR, building and impervious coverage, height limits and parking ratios, pulled in for your parcel so you don't have to dig through the zoning code
- Easements: areas the layout keeps buildings out of
- Site conditions: flood zones, wetlands and topography from Site Intelligence
Every layout starts inside your site's real constraints.
Your product, fine-tuned on the site
- Product: single-loaded and cross-loaded warehouses, with buildings along the site edges
- Site layout: truck courts, trailer and car parking, internal drives between buildings
- Your edits: building mix and sizes, docks, courts, parking and circulation
You see the building your team would propose, on your parcel.
A source of truth for the deal
- Site plan geometry: buildings, courts, parking and drives drawn to the parcel
- Tabulation for this product: building sf, dock doors, trailer and car stalls against what's required, site coverage and FAR
- Earthwork: cut and fill for the layout
- Financials: the geometry turned into development costs, revenue and returns
- Shareable results: a link or PDF report for your team, partners and other stakeholders
You know whether the deal works, with numbers to back it.

Industrial Park Site Planning FAQ
What is a mixed industrial park?
A multi-building industrial site that combines different warehouse types, here single-loaded and cross-loaded buildings, so each part of the parcel gets the building that fits it best.
Why mix single-loaded and cross-loaded buildings?
Cross-loaded buildings need depth for a truck court on both sides, while single-loaded buildings fit narrower strips and edges. Mixing them lets an irregular parcel hold more building than one type alone.
What kind of site suits a mixed industrial park?
Larger or irregular parcels where one big box leaves leftover land. Load your parcel in TestFit with this layout to see how the buildings and drives fill it.
What is internal circulation on an industrial site?
Truck drives run through the interior of the site between buildings instead of only around the perimeter. That lets buildings sit along the edges and share access from the middle.
Can I change the layout after it generates?
Yes. Start from this layout, then edit the buildings, docks, courts, parking and circulation in TestFit. The site plan and yield recalculate as you go.
