For commercial agents and valuers, building materials stores are a category of large-format commercial property with specific plot requirements (typically 5 to 15 decares) and location patterns (good access, good parking, moderate rents). For residential developers, being close to building materials is both a quality of the plot and a retail indicator of how far the area has come in its development.
