industrial site

Where production happens

An industrial site is a location where manufacturing, processing, or heavy commercial activity takes place—factories, refineries, warehouses, power plants.

The term often appears in zoning discussions, environmental assessments, and real estate: The brownfield was a former industrial site.

Redevelopment of abandoned industrial sites has transformed many urban waterfronts.
