Business park

A business park or office park is an area of land in which many office buildings are grouped together. The first office park opened in Mountain Brook, Alabama, in the early 1950s to avoid racial tension in city centers.[1]

Not to be confused with Industrial park.
For a property containing a group of businesses, see serviced office.

Business parks are often developed in suburban locations where land and building costs are cheaper. They also tend to be located near motorways or main roads for easy access.

Criticism

The impact of business parks on surrounding areas and communities has been criticized:

  • Large gaps between urbanized zones, increasing the suburban sprawl.
  • The appearance of the buildings.[2]
  • Obsolescence, vacancy, and disrepair.[3]
