Datacenters Are Looking for Land — Yours Might Be a Fit

Demeter helps landowners like you evaluate, lease, or sell land for datacenter development. These high-tech facilities require land with access to power and internet and they’re paying top dollar for the right parcels.

Whether you’re looking for long-term income or a full sale, we help you understand your options and make informed decisions.

What Is a Datacenter?

Datacenters are secure buildings that store and manage the digital infrastructure behind cloud computing, banking, artificial intelligence, and more. Major tech companies, enterprises, and hyperscale operators need new land to build facilities that are:

They’re the modern equivalent of utility infrastructure — and they need land just like solar and energy developers do.

Why Consider Selling or Leasing Your Land for a Datacenter?

Long-Term Passive Income (Lease)

Enterprise tenants sign long-term agreements — often 20 to 30 years — with built-in rent escalators.

Clean Exit at Market Premium (Sale)

Some landowners prefer a lump-sum buyout. If your land is near power and fiber, it may be worth significantly more than market agricultural value.

Low Impact, High Value

Unlike factories or subdivisions, datacenters operate quietly with limited staff, few vehicles, and low environmental impact.

What Makes a Good Site?

You may qualify if your land meets some of these criteria:

Within 1–3 miles of a transmission substation
Access to high voltage transmission lines
Near fiber internet (along roadways or utility corridors)
Flat, buildable land
Outside floodplains, wetlands, or protected areas
Occasionally being near natural gas lines can help
10 to 50+ acres (varies by datacenter type)

We use GIS and utility data to help landowners pre-screen parcels quickly and for free.
