Guangzhou Nansha Flexible Land Supply: 20-40 Year Industrial Leases Cut Costs

Guangzhou's Nansha district, Guangdong Province's first comprehensive land management reform pilot zone, is offering flexible industrial land leases of 20, 30, or 40 years instead of the traditional 50-year term, combined with district-level price discounts. To date, 90 industrial land parcels have adopted this model, saving enterprises over RMB 2.1 billion in land costs. TCL's Guangzhou smart manufacturing base, a 303-mu project, secured a 30-year lease and saved nearly RMB 127 million. Finnair Technology's headquarters project also used a 30-year lease, saving nearly RMB 30 million, and was selected by the Ministry of Natural Resources as a first-batch innovation case. Nansha also offers a 1.5-level development model, leasing land on a paid short-term basis with government reclamation upon expiry. In June 2026, Guangzhou's first batch of 1.5-level development land was supplied, including the Hengli City Plaza commercial plot of about 30,000 square meters with a 10-year initial lease. Who should participate: manufacturers seeking expansion, industrial park operators, and commercial developers. How to participate: apply to Nansha's planning and natural resources bureau for flexible-term leases or 1.5-level development land. Time window: the policy is ongoing; Nansha has already supplied 4,861 mu of industrial land this year, exceeding its annual target ahead of schedule.
