industrial buildings

Where goods produced

Industrial buildings are structures designed for manufacturing, processing, storage, or distribution of goods rather than for residential or commercial retail purposes.

They typically feature large open floor plans, high ceilings, loading docks, and heavy-duty infrastructure to accommodate machinery, equipment, and freight movement.

Warehouses, factories, and distribution centers all fall under this category.

The old industrial buildings along the waterfront have been converted into loft apartments.
