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.
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 | €/m² | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Dallas-Fort Worth (urban industrial) | €107–215 | Major logistics and manufacturing hub |
| Columbus, Ohio (major urban) | ~€36 | Midwestern manufacturing center |
| TSMC Phoenix (2026 acquisition) | ~€47 | Subsidized semiconductor site |
| Intel Ohio (mega-factory) | ~€32 | Subsidized with state incentive package |
| Tesla Giga Texas | ~€10 | Heavily subsidized mega-site |
| Hyundai Georgia (rural) | ~€6 | State-provided subsidized land |
| A4Corridor (our plots) | €94–127 | Permanently 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.
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 | €/m² | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Stockholm prime logistics | €141–281 | Capital region, highest demand |
| Gothenburg industrial | €75–187 | Major port and manufacturing city |
| Malmö/Öresund | €56–141 | Cross-border region with Denmark |
| Mid-size cities (Västerås, Linköping) | €14–55 | Regional manufacturing centers |
| 78% of Swedish municipalities | ≤€47 | SKR National Survey data |
| Rural Sweden | €2–15 | Municipal industrial zones |
| A4Corridor (our plots) | €94–127 | Within 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.
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 | €/m² | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Czech Republic (Prague/Brno, permitted) | €150–200+ | Poland's direct CEE competitor |
| Czech Republic (unpermitted) | ~€50 | Requires zoning process |
| Hungary (Budapest area) | €50–100 | Comparable to Poland on some metrics |
| Romania (Cluj, highest) | €45–75 | Emerging market, limited infrastructure |
| Romania (Bucharest West) | €20–25 | Lower infrastructure density |
| Poland / A4Corridor (our plots) | €94–127 | Permanent MPZP zoning included |
| Poland / Warsaw industrial | €130–220 | Capital 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.
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.
