TKB Industrial Park — 3 Storey Semi-D Light Industrial

Why these specifications matter

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.

Ground floor 3-phase 60 amp; 1st & 2nd floor single phase 30 amp 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.

45' x 97' (show units 45' x 90') 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 TKB 3 Storey Semi-D may suit

The developer does not publish a target-industry list for this product, so the profiles below are read off the specification rather than quoted from marketing. Each one may suit — none is a recommendation, and all of them depend on permitted use for your specific activity.

• SME owner-occupier. A business paying rent on similar space and wanting to own it, with the instalment carrying an asset rather than a landlord.
• Warehouse and storage. A single-volume ground floor suited to racking, subject to your racking height and pallet throughput.
• Distribution and logistics. Turns on vehicle access and yard space more than on the building — check the approach and turning circle on site.
• Light manufacturing, assembly or workshop use. Subject to permitted use and to whether the supplied power and floor loading match your equipment.
• A business needing separated floors. Operations on the ground floor with administration above, without renting an office elsewhere.

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.

What to check before buying at TKB 3 Storey Semi-D

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.
