KSS knows industrial. For two decades, we have designed versatile industrial buildings that maintain long-term value and improve the quality of life for tenants, businesses and the environment. Times have changed. We have identified the most critical issues facing industrial architecture, planning and development in the new and emerging market.

Focus on Corporate Industrial
Corporate industrial facilities are important tools of business specialized for uses such as pharmaceutical, automotive or printing, or designed around the special needs of high value product. They are sophisticated workplaces reflective of a corporation's identity and green values. Whereas speculative development was once king, user-driven, corporate industrial development now rules.

Reposition Industrial Assets
Industrial demands progress and competition leaves no room for compromise. Location is more critical than ever due to increased energy costs and need for efficient product delivery. Older industrial properties have a monopoly on location. Reconsidering the building by raising the roof, improving the floor, introducing green technology and re-examining land use creates new, high performing industrial developments that capitalize on the value of great industrial heritage.

Good Buildings Attract Good Tenants
Competition is everything. Cost relies on flawless development and expertly designed and constructed buildings. But that isn't enough. Industrial architecture must respond to tenants and have the right loading docks, clear height and proportions. The space must be versatile and allow the client to expand, grow and transform. A good industrial building stands out when its design represents quality.

Go Green in a Big Way
Industrial development offers great potential for sustainable design. Today's climate demands it. Sustainable strategies in energy, lighting, material and land impact require unique thinking. The projects' immense scale translates into opportunities for sustainable industrial architecture to have a significant, positive impact on the environment as well as the sophisticated building user.
