With all that parking, it suggests they expect those warehouses and that small office building will be very active. I don’t buy the notion of overflow parking for the current resort personally, but we shall see!

So SandLake will be a backstage entrance, which suggests all guest traffic will be directed down Universal Blvd.
I don't understand the warehouses. Each is 200,000+ sq. ft. with 80+ dock doors. What do they need to move with that type of volume?
Could this also allow for more space to open up in the current parks, by moving offices to there?
Another option is that they could use the 2,500 temporary parking spaces they are building on a couple of parcels farther south to help solve that problem. Though those spots could also just be for the construction workers on the south site.UO TMs Park in the North parking garage, their own parking garage, and occasionally at Dr. Phillip’s High School durning Christmas peak. Even if this was just parking for Volcano Bay TMs, that would simplify things a little bit.

Yeah, they got that extension to Mandarin coming in the near future. They’ll both be public roads do guest could and will use them to get to the new resort, but I think I won’t be the main entrance area for it.Theres a Kirkman Extension thats going to run all the way to Destination Parkway that will handle a lot of Universal's guest traffic.
With how the extension cuts through the property at the Southern part, I think it'll end up like the northern property where Universal Blvd cuts through and they will bridge over it. Whether it'll be parking or Hotels on the West with the Park and everything else on the East is yet to be seen. Either way, it'll be an integral part of the resort. I personally think they will use Kirkman as their main travel route for the busses as well.Yeah, they got that extension to Mandarin coming in the near future.

Questions I've been thinking about that we don't have answers to, and likely won't:
-Warehouse 1 has 96 truck bays/dock doors, warehouse 2 has 92. Why do they need the ability to load/unload 190 trucks at once?
-Why build 2 smaller warehouses instead of one big one? Why are they different sizes rather than identical?
There's really not a ton that can be moved. Things backstage are there for a reason and it's because they serve an everyday purpose in almost all cases.Could this also allow for more space to open up in the current parks, by moving offices to there?

Not sure why offices are located so far away and uncreative.
These buildings aren't that uncreative looking... The main office building has an art-deco type of style, and the short sides of the warehouses that will face Sand Lake have a design that matches the soundstages from the parks:
