Nexus Industrial Hub — 1.5 Storey Terrace Factory

The figures above are the developer’s. What follows is what each one changes for a business using the space, and what to verify before you rely on it.

26 ft clear height

Clear height decides how high you can rack and whether a gantry, mezzanine or tall machine fits at all. The floor plate is fixed once the building is up, so height is the only direction capacity can grow. It also cannot be changed after handover. What to do: measure your tallest rack, machine or tipped load and check it against the clear height under the beam — not the ridge, and not the marketing figure. Whether your operation can use the full height at all depends on what you actually do in the space.

3-phase, 60 amp (to main switch board only) power supply

Three-phase supply and its amperage decide what machinery you can run. Upgrading later is possible but it is at your cost and on the utility’s timetable, which can run into months. Where the specification says the supply reaches the main switch board only, the distribution board, sub-circuits and wiring past that point are your fit-out cost, not the developer’s. What to do: add up the connected load of everything you intend to run at once, ask for the approved supply in writing, and price the internal distribution separately. 100 amp is not automatically enough for every kind of manufacturing.

16 ft motorised high entrance door

The entrance opening sets the largest thing that can come in or out, and it is fixed at construction. Height matters as much as width: a box lorry with a raised tail-lift, a tipper, or a load on a high pallet needs more clearance than the vehicle’s own roof line. What to do: take the actual dimensions of your largest delivery vehicle to the site, and check the turning and reversing path as well as the opening itself. A door wide enough for a lorry is no use if the lorry cannot line up with it.

Factory floor — Concrete floor, 3–5 tonnes per sq m

The ground slab has a design load, and heavy machinery, racking legs and stacked stock all draw on it. Point loads under a rack upright concentrate far more weight per square metre than the same stock spread across the floor. What to do: compare the rated figure against your heaviest machine and your fully loaded racking, and ask the developer to confirm it in writing for the specific unit. If your equipment needs a designed foundation or a pit, raise it before the SPA rather than after.

25' x 75' lot

The first figure is the frontage. Frontage is what decides how many vehicles can pull up at once, whether a lorry can approach square to the door instead of at an angle, and how much of the plot is usable yard rather than manoeuvring space. Depth decides how far back you can build and what is left in front for standing and loading. A wider lot also gives more room to extend later, subject to setback and plot coverage. What to do: pace out the yard actually left in front of the building, and check that your largest delivery vehicle can enter, turn and leave without reversing onto the estate road. Do not assume any particular lorry fits — verify clearance and turning radius on site.

Who Nexus Terrace Factory may suit

The developer positions Nexus Terrace Factory for these uses:

• Vehicle service centre
• Warehouse
• Food processing
• Transportation and logistics
• Printing and packaging

That is the developer’s own list, not an independent assessment. Whether any of them works for your business comes down to the specifications above and to what the title and local authority permit for your particular activity.

Who should check further before committing

None of the following rules the unit out. They are the cases where the standard specification may not be enough, and where an extra question now is cheaper than a retrofit later.

• High connected load. If your machinery draws close to or beyond the supplied amperage, price an upgrade and confirm the timeline with the utility before you book.
• Heavy or vibrating machinery. Anything needing a designed foundation, a pit or isolation from the slab should be raised with the developer at design stage.
• Container or large rigid vehicles. Check the estate road, the gate and the turning circle in the yard, not just the door opening.
• Process requirements. Effluent, exhaust, compressed air, a larger water supply, or cold rooms are usually the buyer’s works. Confirm what provision exists.
• Regulated activities. Some uses need approvals beyond the title condition. Verify your specific activity in writing before booking.
• Larger built-up requirement. If you need more covered area than the unit provides, check what the setback and plot coverage allow before assuming you can extend.

Take this to the site visit. The specification items near the top cannot be changed after handover.

1. Permitted use — for your specific activity — title condition and local authority, in writing.
2. Title and tenure — the years remaining and whether the individual title has issued.
3. Approved power supply — the amperage actually approved for your unit, and how far it is delivered.
4. Floor loading — the rated figure against your heaviest machine and fully loaded racking.
5. Clear height — measured under the beam, and over which part of the floor plate.
6. Entrance clearance — width and height against your largest delivery vehicle.
7. Lorry access — the estate road, the gate width and the approach.
8. Turning radius — whether your vehicle can line up with the door without a shunt.
9. Loading area — yard depth in front of the building, and whether loading is front only.
10. Land area — and what setback is left if you want to extend later.
11. Built-up area — on each floor, and how much of it is usable at full height.
12. Maintenance — whether a management corporation and service charge apply.
13. SPA terms — what the developer covers, what you pay, and the liquidated damages position.
14. Completion timeline — which phase your unit is in, and what the estimate is measured to.
15. Financing — margin, tenure and rate on an industrial title — they differ from a home loan.

The general mechanics of booking — what you sign and what is refundable — are covered in the property booking checklist. For financing capacity see the DSR guide, then the monthly instalment calculator and the upfront cost calculator. What leasehold changes on resale and financing is in freehold vs leasehold.

Worth confirming before you commit: the actual approved power supply for your unit, floor loading against the machinery you plan to install, and whether your delivery vehicles clear the entrance door. Those three decide whether a factory works for your operation, and they are worth checking on site rather than on paper.
