We buy land near substations and transmission lines across Greater Houston directly from landowners, heirs and brokers. Free screen, honest answer within the week, cash close.
Greater Houston has the densest 345 kV transmission in Texas, built to serve the petrochemical complex along the Ship Channel and the Gulf. The counties ringing Harris County, including Brazoria, Fort Bend, Waller and Galveston, hold large agricultural and timber tracts that sit under or beside that infrastructure. Developers who can no longer find sites inside the metro are looking there.
CenterPoint Energy owns most of the transmission inside the metro, with Texas-New Mexico Power and cooperatives such as San Bernard EC in the surrounding counties. Flood zone is the first screen on almost every Houston-area site, and we run it before anything else.
We look for 40 to 500 acre tracts outside the 100-year floodplain along SH-288, SH-36, US-290, I-10 and SH-249, close to existing substations. Former rice, cattle and timber land are all in play.
Most landowners have no way to know whether their property has real value to a data center developer, because that depends on grid capacity most people never look at. These are the signals that usually mean it is worth a conversation.
Location, acreage, and anything you know about power lines or prior utility contact. Five minutes by email.
We check grid capacity, title, floodplain and zoning ourselves using public records. If it does not fit, we tell you within the week and say why.
No listing, no showings, no marketing period. Terms are usually a short paid option period followed by a cash closing.
We handle title. Closing costs are negotiated up front. You are not carrying diligence risk; we are.
We look at any tract in the ERCOT Houston zone that sits near high-voltage transmission or a substation. We look for 40 to 500 acre tracts outside the 100-year floodplain along SH-288, SH-36, US-290, I-10 and SH-249, close to existing substations. Former rice, cattle and timber land are all in play.

Flood zone is the first screen on almost every Houston-area site, and we run it before anything else. You do not need to know which one serves your tract. Tell us where it is and we will identify the transmission owner from public records.
Start by telling us where the land is and what you know about nearby transmission infrastructure. You do not need to know the voltage or ownership. We do that research ourselves using ERCOT, utility and county records, then tell you honestly whether it is a fit and what it might be worth.
No. We buy directly from landowners and brokers alike. If you already have a broker, we are glad to work with them. If you do not, you do not need to hire one to talk to us.
Proximity to a substation or transmission line is the headline, but the real driver is whether that substation has spare capacity to accept new load. Most nearby substations in Texas do not. Parcel size, shape, flood zone, water access and zoning also matter. We screen for all of it before making an offer.
Once we have confirmed the site fits, terms are usually a short paid option period of 60 to 180 days to finish utility and title diligence, followed by a cash closing. We move as fast as the utility and title work allow.
Yes. We regularly work with heirship property, estates in probate and land held across several family members. Tell us the situation up front and we will structure around it.
Start with the property address. If the land has no street address, the nearest road and cross street, a county appraisal district parcel number, or GPS coordinates all work just as well. We will identify the substation, check capacity and title from public records, and tell you whether it fits.
