Land prices significantly lower than in Flemish Brabant
BureauxLocaux and UnEmplacement.com (2025-2026) place the sale price of industrial land in Hauts-de-France between €15 and €23/m² depending on the location and the surface area. In Belgium, the average price reaches €429/m² in Flanders and €227/m² in the capital region (Notaire.be, 2023). CBRE (2025) confirms that land prices remain highest in the capital and along the logistics corridors of northern Belgium. The difference with Hauts-de-France represents savings exceeding 90% on acquisition costs, freeing up budget for building construction and facility equipment.
These plots are often located in areas eligible for regional financial incentives, particularly under the Rev3 programme, the regional industrial and ecological transition initiative. The region also has a labour pool of over 70,000 jobseekers in industry and logistics. Nord France Invest provides an online cost simulator to evaluate price differences between the region and key Belgian locations.
Direct access to Brussels, Zaventem and Flemish Brabant
Hauts-de-France benefits from direct road connections to the main logistics hubs across the border. The E19 links Lille to Brussels in under 1h30, with quick access to the ring road (R0) and the business parks in Flemish Brabant. Zaventem airport, an international air freight hub, is reachable in under 2 hours for express shipments.
For companies whose goods regularly transit between France and Belgium, this positioning near Brussels reduces transport costs and delivery times. Trucks can serve the capital, Antwerp and the wider market from Hauts-de-France within a single day of transport, without the congestion of the ring and the urban periphery. The industrial land available in the region benefits from multimodal transport infrastructure: motorway (A1, A2, A26), inland waterways (1,035 km) and European rail connections. The full range of commercial property in the region is available in the NFI catalogue.
