Boy howdy, I am sure glad I threw that parcel up on LandApp! I got a solar lease offer that is about 80% higher than what the other guys were offering, and I don't think we are done! Seriously, I'm pretty sure you guys just made my children a few 10 million bucks over the next 40 years."

“You offer such a great service! Especially for people who have no clue as to what values might be for these energy-related opportunities. The website and listing service are really nice. We have a LOT of wind and solar projects going in around our area in NW Ohio and I am going to definitely recommend LandApp to others who have acreage available and are considering leasing to a wind or solar company.”

Our son was able to list one of our Fulton County, IL properties on LandApp. We very quickly received interest in the property for a solar project from a reputable company. After some due diligence and discussions we were able to execute a solar lease. Without LandApp this process would not have been so easy!

Many factors affect whether or not a property is suitable for a data center. These factors include property size, location, proximity to electrical infrastructure, zoning, physical property characteristics, environmental concerns, the political climate, and water access. You can learn more about the property qualifications for data center development.
Data center developers engage in both leasing and purchasing land for their facilities, although it is generally more common for them to invest in buying land. This preference for ownership allows developers to have greater control over their operations, zoning regulations, and potential for future expansion.
However, the decision to lease or buy can vary depending on several factors, including the developers' available capital, risk appetite, and the specific needs of the project. Ultimately, the choice reflects a strategic balance between financial considerations and operational goals.
A data center is a dedicated space—whether a room, building, or facility—designed to house IT infrastructure essential for developing, operating, and delivering applications and services. It also serves as a secure environment for storing and managing the data connected to these applications and services.
A low index score on a particular property indicates that the property has a relatively low value compared to similar properties nationwide. A high index score suggests that the property has a higher value compared to similar properties nationwide. Learn more about LandApp's index scores here.
