The investment market of non-corporate developers in Poland – analysis of the feasibility studies

The paper is the second part of the study conducted on the market of investments carried out by small, non-corporate developers, analysing the object of their investment activities. The study adopted a two-stage research method – analysis of source materials and a case study summarised by quantitative research. The main objective was to analyse the potential of land properties and the characteristics of land plots in terms of their suitability for development investments. In the examples studied, investments were made on plots of land with an average area of 2760 m2. It was observed that the built-up intensity in this case does not differ, regardless of the size of the plot and the type of development – for most of them the same ratio of the usable floor area of dwellings to the area of the plot is obtained. It is concluded that the size is close to the maximum density of development specified for the site. A characteristic feature of non-corporate developers is to invest in intermediate types of development – semi-detached two-unit (side-by-side or stacked) buildings. The development methods of the plots usually consist of using the maximum allowable built-up intensity.
