Egypt offers lease-to-own industrial land option for investors

Egypt’s government announced on August 11, 2026, a lease-to-own system for industrial land through the Digital Industrial Platform, allowing investors to lease land for factory projects first and later apply to purchase it under specified conditions. The measure is intended to reduce upfront project costs and provide investors with more flexible land-allocation options.
Lease terms will range from seven to a maximum of 21 years, with annual rent calculated at 5% of the applicable price per square metre of land. The structure is designed to allow investors to direct more of their initial capital toward factory construction, machinery and production lines instead of paying the full land purchase cost at the start.
Ownership is not automatic when the lease ends. Investors may apply to purchase the land under the applicable rules. If approved, rent already paid will be deducted from the land’s total value, after which the investor must pay 25% of the remaining amount, with the balance divided into three annual instalments.
Applications can be submitted electronically throughout the year through Egypt’s Digital Industrial Platform, where investors can review available opportunities and land plots, access application requirements, select suitable sites and complete fees and procedures online.
The government says the scheme is intended both to ease access to industrial land for serious investors and to discourage speculation by ensuring that allocated plots are used for their intended industrial purposes.
