Market Comparison

Global Land Price Comparison

Industrial land prices across key markets for reference. Context for evaluating the A4Corridor's positioning relative to the buyer's home market and competing investment destinations.

United States

US Industrial Land Prices

US industrial land prices vary significantly by market, from subsidized mega-sites at €6–47/m² to urban industrial corridors at €107–215/m². Subsidized transactions involve multi-billion dollar state incentive packages and are available only for very large investments. Unsubsidized market-rate land in developed industrial areas provides the relevant comparison.

US Market€/m²Context
Dallas-Fort Worth (urban industrial)€107–215Major logistics and manufacturing hub
Columbus, Ohio (major urban)~€36Midwestern manufacturing center
TSMC Phoenix (2026 acquisition)~€47Subsidized semiconductor site
Intel Ohio (mega-factory)~€32Subsidized with state incentive package
Tesla Giga Texas~€10Heavily subsidized mega-site
Hyundai Georgia (rural)~€6State-provided subsidized land
A4Corridor (our plots)€94–127Permanently zoned, infrastructure-served

For a mid-size facility investment (€20–100M), where state-level subsidized land is typically unavailable, market-rate US industrial land runs €36–215/m². The A4Corridor's €94–127/m² falls within this range while offering EU market access and significantly lower operating costs.

Sweden

Swedish Industrial Land Prices

Swedish industrial land prices range from €2–15/m² in rural municipalities to €141–281/m² in Stockholm prime logistics zones. The majority of Swedish municipalities (78%) sell industrial land at or below €47/m².

Swedish Market€/m²Context
Stockholm prime logistics€141–281Capital region, highest demand
Gothenburg industrial€75–187Major port and manufacturing city
Malmö/Öresund€56–141Cross-border region with Denmark
Mid-size cities (Västerås, Linköping)€14–55Regional manufacturing centers
78% of Swedish municipalities≤€47SKR National Survey data
Rural Sweden€2–15Municipal industrial zones
A4Corridor (our plots)€94–127Within established Swedish cluster

The investment case for the A4Corridor is operational, not land-cost driven. Polish labor runs 40–50% below Swedish rates. For a manufacturing operation where labor represents 50–70% of ongoing costs, annual labor savings of €500K–2M+ dwarf the one-time land premium. Electrolux, Essity, MCC, and Autoliv made this calculation and chose this exact corridor.

Central & Eastern Europe

CEE Industrial Land Prices

Poland's primary CEE competitor for industrial investment is the Czech Republic. Comparable permitted industrial land in Czech Republic runs €150–200+/m² — positioning the A4Corridor 18–47% below Czech equivalents.

Market€/m²Context
Czech Republic (Prague/Brno, permitted)€150–200+Poland's direct CEE competitor
Czech Republic (unpermitted)~€50Requires zoning process
Hungary (Budapest area)€50–100Comparable to Poland on some metrics
Romania (Cluj, highest)€45–75Emerging market, limited infrastructure
Romania (Bucharest West)€20–25Lower infrastructure density
Poland / A4Corridor (our plots)€94–127Permanent MPZP zoning included
Poland / Warsaw industrial€130–220Capital city premium

The A4Corridor sits between the Czech premium and the Romanian discount — reflecting Poland's position as Central Europe's largest economy with infrastructure quality, labor pool depth, and institutional stability that exceed the lower-cost alternatives.

Context

Land Cost in Perspective

For a facility investment of €50–500M, land at €389K–3M represents 0.1–6% of total project cost. Equipment, construction, and labor dwarf land cost in any manufacturing investment. The relevant comparison is total cost of operations over 10–20 years — where Poland's labor cost advantage, EU market access, and infrastructure quality create substantial value.
