Can You Convert a Factory into a Showroom, Studio or HQ?

Today’s factories aren’t just for storage and manufacturing. Thanks to modern design and developer foresight, many new industrial units can be easily converted into stylish showrooms, creative studios, or SME headquarters.

One prime example is Pulau Meranti Binastra Industrial Park Phase 2, where flexibility meets functionality. Let’s explore how and why these modern factories are perfect for repurposing.

What Makes a Factory Design “Flexible”?

A flexible-use factory typically includes:

  • Modern full-glass façade – client-facing design
  • 3-way opening doors – separate access for goods, office staff & customers
  • Double-volume height – ideal for interior renovation or mezzanine use
  • Ample parking & wide frontage – accommodates client or retail traffic
  • Ready infrastructure: 150A power, hoist lift, EV charger point

These design elements allow for visual appeal and functional separation of office, showroom, and operational zones.

What Can You Convert a Factory Into?

1. Showroom + Storage

Furniture, lighting, tiles, auto parts, sanitary ware, and construction material companies can combine elegant displays with backend stock.

2. Creative or Industrial Studio

Designers, architects, content producers, and interior fit-out firms can use the space for creative production and client presentations.

3. Corporate HQ + Light Warehouse

Ideal for SMEs needing both a polished office for meetings and internal space for logistics or product fulfillment.

4. Training Centre + Workshop

Education firms, maintenance operators, or franchisors can utilize the factory for both staff development and operations.

Pulau Meranti: Built for Business Versatility

This project offers semi-D and detached factories from 6,373 to 10,331 sq ft, with land areas up to 17,701 sq ft. Features include:

  • Motorised roller shutters
  • Hoist lift (1.5 tonne)
  • Rainwater harvesting & solar PV-ready
  • EV charger point-ready

With gated access, wide roads, and a clean layout, this is one of the few industrial parks where SMEs can present a premium image to clients.

Real-World Success Example

One buyer recently converted a Pulau Meranti unit into a minimalist HQ and sample showroom for their e-commerce logistics business — maintaining a reception area, demo rack zone, inventory section, and small photo studio.
