Woodfine direct-hold deployments fall into three classes: Professional Centres, Vertical Warehouses, and Parking Structures. Each class addresses a distinct occupier demand category and corresponds to a specific proximity relationship with the power centre anchor. The class determines the physical form — including structural system, floor plate geometry, and building services — while the co-location strategy determines the site.

Professional Centres

Professional Centres are multi-storey office buildings that serve the five target tenant categories: academic, business, civic, laboratory, and medical. They are the primary and most widely deployed class, positioned within 1.0 kilometre of a power centre.

Professional Centre deployments include four sub-types based on proximity and market context:

Professional Offices are the baseline multi-storey office product. Each occupier category — academic, business, civic, lab, medical — receives a purpose-configured fit-out within the fixed floor plate, with furniture and equipment geometry derived from the specific use case.

Retail Select positions single-storey commercial-retail uses (bank branches, drive-through services) within the 1.0-kilometre power centre radius. These serve as street-level complements to the multi-storey professional building in a campus deployment.

Suburban Office places multi-storey office product within 2.0 kilometres of the power centre anchor, where site geometry or land availability prevents 1.0-kilometre positioning.

Vertical Warehouses

Vertical Warehouses are intended as a purpose-built solution for inter-city fringe locations requiring vertical stacking of industrial and logistics functions. Unlike low-rise warehouse platforms, the Vertical Warehouse model is designed to address urban land scarcity while serving last-mile and regional logistics demand concentrated near population centres.

Vertical Warehouses are planned for locations beyond the power centre proximity criterion; their site selection is governed by inter-city logistics network topology rather than retail adjacency. The class is under development and is intended to expand the direct-hold portfolio beyond the office-focused Professional Centre model.

Parking Structures

Parking Structures are intended for deployment at regional transit hubs and airport catchment zones, providing multi-storey structured parking infrastructure as a standalone direct-hold asset. The transit hub context means the occupancy driver is regional mobility infrastructure rather than retail anchor adjacency.

Parking Structures are planned as part of the Woodfine direct-hold portfolio expansion. The co-location adjacency methodology does not apply to this class; site selection is governed by transit hub capacity and modal connectivity analysis.

The rollout program as a cross-class framework

The rollout program — the systematic repetition of a standardized design across multiple sites — applies to all three classes. Each class has its own prototype geometry and fixed floor plate standard, enabling consistent cost and schedule performance across deployments regardless of market or jurisdiction.

The class taxonomy is exhaustive and categorical. A deployment is a Professional Centre, a Vertical Warehouse, or a Parking Structure — no hybrid classifications exist within the direct-hold portfolio framework.
