Learn which commercial design trends are popular in the rising cannabis industry.
Recently, the commercial real estate and construction industries have been revitalized by the newest business—cannabis cultivation, harvesting, and distribution. Curious to see how this new industry is affecting commercial construction? Your Pleasanton contractor is ready to give you the low-down on some of the most prevalent commercial construction trends in the cannabis industry.
Greenhouses
Designed to enable the cultivation of cannabis in urban settings, most commercial greenhouses consist of a concrete pad and a metal framework as the base structure. From there, the unique needs of the grower determine which lighting, irrigation, humidity control, and temperature control systems will be implemented. Generally, these greenhouses are also designed to handle the packaging and shipping of the product after a harvest is complete.
Security
As a new business sector, the cannabis market is booming and this means that there is a lot of capital at play. This is why most cannabis facilities need a heavy-duty vault on the premises for both money and product security. The vaults should implement the use of armored walls and a complex locking system. It’s important that the vault be as close to impenetrable as possible; it could be the last thing standing in a criminal’s or a natural disaster’s way.
Tenant Improvements
Not all cannabis construction projects are ground-up construction. In many cases, growers are converting existing buildings to create growing spaces. Depending on the existing design of the building and the growers’ needs, these construction improvements can be termed change of use, adaptive reuse, or remodels.
