Bro slow the fuck down. If you don't already know if poly or glass is better then you're not ready to run a greenhouse that size. Also assume 20-80 dollars per square foot depending on materials used, dirt vs concrete flooring, heating/ventilation, etc etc. So, 1.1 to 4.4 million to build it. Then you have to consider operational costs, eg hydroponic equipment, heat, electric.

If you want to operate a greenhouse that size you had better have
-Experience
-A detailed cost analysis

well, put it this way, i used poly panels (suntuf) for my 96sqft greenhouse, and it was ~700 for the panels + fasteners. (and that's only for the roof and southern exposure)

glass is way more expensive and harder to install (though poly can be trixy to get 100% leakproof, jfc. if you go this route, a small tip: apply some silicone caulking around each of the screws)

as another anon said, you're putting the horse before the cart here.
