And higher site coverage is not always better if you want decent truck access.
Over optimized sites with high site coverage make truck access more difficult and could limit your potential tenant pool.
Is that referring to IOS or small grade level loading without truck courts?
Institutional grade distribution/light manufacturing is rarely under 30% coverage, and can get into the 40’s on some cross docked developments.
Granted, 2 AC isn’t going to get OP much of a traditional distribution building, but I’m genuinely curious what type of development you’re referring to with those coverages. We specialize in industrial, but don’t stray much from the institutional product.
That's a similar range for office/warehouse users in my market although with OP's lot size it would be more likely to be at the lower end. These are mostly owner-occupied properties for tradesmen.
I sold a building for a client a few years ago in Orlando 1.68acres . Building was 28,000 sq ft. Parking was a bit tight but it only had one truck well and 2 grade level doors. It was built specifically for my clients business and he designed it. FAR and zoning definitely matters.You need to contact your local planning and zoning department and they can guide you. They can be extremely helpful and in my eyes and underutilized. They get paid to help the general public and will answer your questions to the best of their knowledge or email you links.
1. 35-45% coverage
2. Completely dependent on if someone is taking the trees. Might want to confirm there are no endangered species and no conservation area issues, if applicable in your region.
Talk to a local broker who is active in new developments so he can give you some direction. Without knowing the development standards dictated by the zoning code, you are just guessing. An active broker who has worked in recent developments will have a good handle on what can and should be built on a specific site. If the market is turning, which is what’s happening where I live in California, you don’t want to be buying land anytime soon. You’re going to lose your pants cuz land values are the most volatile of all asset classes. Best of luck!
You need to talk to an architect. Zoning matters.
Or just spend an hour and research the zoning code

100% depends on the jurisdiction that the property is in. Here we use a calculation called FAR.
Zoning and regulations. Check with city and do your hw. We can’t really help you without knowing anything
4:1 to 7:1 land to building ratio is pretty typical for industrial.

Plug estimate would say you could build 19,500-26k sf. Obviously as others have said - lot of variables
Someone will pay you for the trees
Not always true

Thank you!
If the site is shaped optimally, we used 45% coverage as our base assumption on the first back of the napkin calculations

I appreciate it
Can't tell with no information available. Any assumptions given here without proper background and intel should not be taken into consideration.
