Master Planning

With over one million acres of master planned sites completed, we bring unmatched expertise in shaping large-scale industrial developments. Our process evaluates public circulation, truck and automobile networks, and urban planning frameworks to ensure seamless integration with surrounding communities. Every plan is designed for the future and next generation, balancing land use, infrastructure, and environmental considerations with regulatory requirements and market feasibility. By creating frameworks that support long-term revenue generation for stakeholders, we deliver sites that emphasize functionality, efficient truck circulation, and operational performance—ensuring projects remain competitive and adaptable well into the future

Business Park

A successful business park provides the flexibility and scale needed to attract the widest range of tenants. Our designs emphasize building diversity, offering a mix of sizes and configurations that can accommodate everything from mid-size users to large anchor tenants. By planning sites with efficient circulation, dock access, and expandable layouts, we create business parks that deliver full coverage for the largest possible tenant pool. This approach ensures long-term marketability, adaptability to shifting demand, and lasting value for both developers and tenants. Successful business parks are planned with the future in mind. Flexible site layouts and scalable infrastructure ensure the park can adapt to changing tenant needs, market growth, and evolving business landscapes.

Built to Suit

Every client has unique operational needs, and our built-to-suit solutions are tailored to meet them. We translate business objectives into high-performing facilities by optimizing layouts, integrating technology, and designing production and logistics areas that maximize efficiency. Our buildings are designed to work efficiently today and adapt to future needs, while consistently meeting budget and schedule requirements. By aligning design with business goals, we deliver facilities that perform from day one and continue to create value long term.

Logistics &
Distribution

Our team designs large-scale facilities that support efficient, high-volume goods movement across complex networks. Site layouts are carefully planned with separation of truck and automobile circulation, optimized dock positions, and adequate truck queuing areas to ensure safe and efficient flow. Buildings are engineered with high clear heights, ESFR fire protection, and flexible racking layouts to accommodate diverse operational requirements. By focusing on circulation, flow, and operational efficiency, we create distribution centers that keep freight moving and businesses competitive.

Food Processing and Cold Storage

We deliver specialized facilities designed to meet the highest standards of performance, hygiene, and regulatory compliance. Our designs incorporate temperature-controlled environments, high-performance insulated building envelopes, and robust mechanical and refrigeration systems to maintain product integrity. Cold storage areas are optimized with insulated metal panels, vapor barriers, and floor systems designed to withstand thermal cycling. Food processing is designed for sanitation, with durable, cleanable finishes, segregated process flows, and integrated utility systems to support safe and efficient operations. Every solution is tailored to ensure long-term reliability, energy efficiency, and compliance with code and industry standards.

Years of
Experience

Industrial design is evolving quickly. We’re seeing growing demand for higher clear heights (40’+), expanded trailer parking, and EV-ready infrastructure. Energy efficiency is a major focus—many projects now include solar panels, LED lighting, more efficient HVAC systems. Flexibility for multi-tenant use and streamlined permitting strategies are also increasingly important. HPA stays ahead of these trends to help ensure your building is competitive, energy-efficient, and future-ready.

Most building codes, including the California Building Standards Code (Title 24) and the International Building Code (IBC), are updated on a 3-year cycle. California also issues mid-cycle updates called Intervening Supplements about 18 months after the main update. Other states typically adopt new IBC editions on a similar 3-year timeline, though adoption timing varies by jurisdiction.

Clear height, column spacing, dock count, trailer parking, and office flexibility are key. We stay on top of industry trends to ensure your building stays competitive in today’s market.
It depends on several factors, including your project’s location, jurisdiction, proximity to sensitive receptors, and whether a rezone is involved. At HPA, we’re happy to provide a complimentary site analysis—just reach out to get started.

New green building regulations are placing more focus on reducing the environmental impact of construction materials. This can include using lower-impact products like efficient concrete mixes or conducting assessments that measure and reduce a building’s overall carbon footprint. These strategies are becoming more common as energy and sustainability codes continue to evolve. Check out our white paper on embodied carbon for more insight.

The industrial market is shifting as demand for space continues to grow. Developers are looking beyond traditional core markets toward areas with more available land, greater flexibility, and long-term growth potential. At the same time, there’s an increasing focus on speed-to-market, entitlement strategies, and future-ready design features like EV infrastructure and energy efficiency.​
