What is Industrial Land?
Industrial land refers to a specific type of real estate that is used for manufacturing, warehousing, or other industrial activities. This can include land used for factories, processing plants, distribution centres, and other similar facilities. Industrial land is typically zoned for industrial use and may have special infrastructure and environmental requirements to support industrial activities.
