We buy land near substations and transmission lines across North Texas directly from landowners, heirs and brokers. Free screen, honest answer within the week, cash close.
North Texas is the most active data center land market in the state. The Dallas–Fort Worth metro is one of the largest data center clusters in the country, and the development ring around it keeps pushing outward along I-35, I-20, I-30, US-287, US-75 and US-380 into counties that were farm and ranch land a decade ago. If you own acreage anywhere in that ring near a 138 kV or 345 kV line, or within a few miles of a substation, it is worth a conversation.
Transmission in most of North Texas is owned and operated by Oncor, with distribution in the rural counties handled by electric cooperatives such as CoServ, Farmers EC, Trinity Valley EC, Wise EC, United Cooperative Services and Grayson-Collin EC. AEP Texas North serves the counties toward Vernon and Wichita Falls. The region is dense with 345 kV backbone lines and substations, but many of those substations are already fully subscribed, which is exactly why we screen capacity before we talk price.
We look for 40 to 700 acre tracts outside floodplain, ideally with road frontage, within roughly five miles of a substation that has headroom. Large ranch tracts on the west side of the metro (Wise, Parker, Hood, Johnson, Jack counties), the Red River counties (Wilbarger, Wichita, Grayson), and the east side along I-20 and I-30 (Kaufman, Van Zandt, Hunt, Lamar) are all active for us.
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 North zone that sits near high-voltage transmission or a substation.

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.
