Investment plot – what is it?
An investment plot is land intended for investment purposes. These types of plots are designated in spatial development plans for potential investors. The main feature of investment plots is that they cannot be used for residential development. However, you can allocate an investment plot for industrial or warehouse buildings, commercial facilities, offices or other typical investment solutions. Investment plots are divided into two groups: service plots and industrial plots.

Service plot – definition
A service plot is an area on which service development can be carried out. These types of plots are separated in spatial development plans (such plans are issued by municipalities) and marked with the letter U. A service plot can be used for various service and commercial purposes. It may contain an office, a restaurant, a shop, etc. The definition of a service plot may vary, depending on local regulations and spatial development plans. This means that the area of such a plot can be adapted to the needs of business and commercial activities, in accordance with specific regulations.

Typically, service or investment plots are intended for commercial or industrial development, not residential development. You should look for information in local regulations and spatial development plans about what types of buildings are allowed on specific plots.

However, it is worth remembering that this is a time-consuming procedure that does not always end in success.
