business parks

Commercial building developments

Business parks are commercial developments designed to house multiple businesses in a campus-like setting, typically featuring office buildings, light industrial facilities, or research centers sharing common infrastructure and landscaping.

They're usually located in suburban areas with ample parking: The tech company moved its headquarters to a business park off the highway.

The term often implies a planned, cohesive environment distinct from scattered commercial buildings.
