Sforno on Deuteronomy

ויתן לנו את הארץ הזאת, after we had left Egypt as free men we did not have any part of the land to settle in, and He gave us this land which is a superior land flowing with milk and honey.

Siftei Chakhamim

As indicated by the plain connotation. And therefore perforce “this place” refers to the Beis Hamikdosh. But if the explanation of “He gave us this land” is not according to its simple meaning, we could then explain that “to this place” means the Land of Israel.
