Can one Matterport digital twin remain clear and useful across an approximately 82,000 sq ft logistics park containing 20 industrial units and three separate buildings?
Logicor Park Dartford shows how.
360 View captured the development over two days using a Matterport Pro3 camera. The site combines large warehouse floors, internal offices, external routes, service yards and parking areas used by delivery vehicles and staff.
The result is one coordinated Matterport model with website integration and ongoing management as unit availability changes. Explore the live model below to see how a carefully planned digital twin can support a large and complex industrial property.

What We Delivered
We created one coordinated Matterport model that brings together the captured warehouse, office and external areas across the development.
Unit specific starting links open the tour at the relevant entrance. Someone interested in a particular unit can therefore begin in the right place without searching through the entire park.
We supplied the Matterport embed code and the unit specific links used by the official Logicor Park Dartford website. A clear selector above the embedded viewer displays the units currently being marketed, with each button opening the same model at the corresponding entrance.
Mattertags inside the tour identify each unit and display its published floor area or dimensions. This answers common questions while the viewer is exploring, without requiring them to leave the model. These details provide useful marketing context and do not replace formal property particulars or a measured survey.

Ongoing Support as Availability Changes
The project did not end when the model went live. We continue to support the public presentation as the leasing position changes.
When a captured unit becomes available, it can be added to the selector and opened at the correct starting position. When a unit is let or occupied, it can be removed from the public selector and the published visitor journey can be adjusted. This keeps the tour aligned with the units being marketed without creating a completely new model each time availability changes.
About Logicor Park Dartford
Logicor is a European logistics real estate company that owns, manages and develops warehouses and distribution properties near important transport hubs and major population centres. Its current company profile describes a portfolio of more than 17 million square metres of warehouse space across 16 countries, supporting over 1,700 customers from different industries.
Logicor Park Dartford is a Grade A light industrial development beside the M25 and Dartford Crossing. The park contains 20 units arranged across three buildings, with internal offices, service yards and parking areas supporting delivery and staff access. Logicor lists the development at 81,092 sq ft, which is approximately 82,000 sq ft.
The units also include features such as solar panels, electric vehicle charging and LED lighting, with BREEAM Excellent and EPC A credentials. For this Matterport project, however, the defining challenge was the combination of scale, repeated industrial spaces and three separate buildings that needed to remain clear within one digital experience.
Planning and Capturing a Large Industrial Site
A large warehouse is not simply a small property with more floor area.
Open industrial spaces can contain long sightlines, repeated columns, similar entrances and fewer visual reference points than a furnished shop or office. These conditions make the capture order, spacing and alignment especially important. Matterport’s guidance for scanning large spaces also recommends planning the alignment path and checking the model carefully for alignment issues.
At Logicor Park Dartford, the route also needed to connect exterior areas with warehouse interiors and offices across three buildings. We planned the work building by building and unit by unit so the finished model would remain understandable to someone who had never visited the estate.
Why We Used the Matterport Pro3
We captured the project with the Matterport Pro3. Its LiDAR capture is designed for large indoor and outdoor spaces, including exterior work in direct sunlight. This made it well suited to a development where the route moves between service areas, unit entrances, warehouse floors and internal offices.
On site capture took place over two days. After capture, we organised the model, checked the transitions and prepared it for the website experience.
What Property Teams Can Understand from the Model
Photography, plans and property specifications remain important, but they cannot provide the same freedom to move through a space and understand how its visible areas relate to one another.
The Matterport model can help prospective occupiers, agents and advisers:
- See the approach to a building, service yard and unit entrance
- Understand the relationship between warehouse and office areas
- Review the visible layout and proportions before arranging a visit
- Open the tour directly at a unit being considered
- View published unit information through Mattertags
- Revisit areas and share one visual reference with colleagues
- Prepare more focused questions for an in person inspection
The model supports preliminary remote review. It does not replace measured drawings, technical due diligence, a formal survey or a physical inspection.

Matterport and Google Street View Serve Different Purposes
360 View also created a separate Google Street View project for Logicor Park Dartford. The two services support different parts of the property journey.
Matterport provides a structured digital model that can be embedded on a website, labelled with useful information and opened at selected positions. Google Street View publishes navigable imagery through Google Maps, providing public location, road and route context.

Matterport Is Not Limited to Small Properties
Matterport is often associated with homes, shops and individual commercial units. Logicor Park Dartford demonstrates how the same platform can be planned for a much larger industrial development when the camera, capture route, model structure, website journey and ongoing management are considered from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions About Matterport for Large Industrial Sites
Can Matterport capture spaces of 100,000 sq ft or more?
Yes. Matterport can be used for large and complex spaces of 100,000 sq ft or more, including warehouses, offices, museums, educational buildings, visitor attractions and multi-building developments.
Can one Matterport model include several buildings?
Yes, when the buildings can be joined through a clear and reliable capture route. At Logicor Park Dartford, the exterior areas helped connect three separate buildings within one organised digital experience. Physically isolated buildings or areas with different access requirements may be clearer as several linked models.
Why was the Matterport Pro3 used for this project?
The Matterport Pro3 uses LiDAR and is designed for indoor and outdoor capture, including work in direct sunlight. It was well suited to the large warehouse interiors, offices and exterior transitions at Logicor Park Dartford.
Can each industrial unit have its own Matterport starting link?
Yes. Different links can open the same Matterport model at selected starting positions. At Logicor Park Dartford, the website selector opens the shared model at the entrance to the relevant available unit.
Can the public tour be updated as unit availability changes?
Yes. If a unit has already been captured, its starting link and place within the public website journey can be updated as availability changes. A return visit may be required if an area was not previously captured or if the property has materially changed.
Can unit names and dimensions be shown inside the model?
Yes. Mattertags can identify a unit and display its published floor area or dimensions at the relevant point in the tour. This information is useful for property marketing, but it does not replace certified measurements, a lease plan or a measured survey.
Can a warehouse remain operational during Matterport capture?
Often it can, but this depends on site activity and safety requirements. Moving vehicles, equipment and people can affect access and image consistency. Capture may need to be divided into zones or arranged during quieter periods in agreement with the site team.
What affects the cost of a Matterport capture, and what information is needed for a quotation?
Cost is influenced by the floor area, number of buildings, units and floors, site geometry, access and safety restrictions, operational activity, required model structure, website delivery and any ongoing support. The most useful information is the address, a site or floor plan, areas to include or exclude, operational hours, intended audience and required outputs. These details allow us to recommend the capture plan, model structure and quotation.
