New York paused this in July 2026. That is the first thing to know.

We purchase and option New York land for data center development. The state put a temporary hold on permitting for the largest projects while it studies them, so anybody approaching a New York landowner with urgency right now should be asked about it directly.

See if your land qualifies

No cost, no obligation, and no pressure. We answer either way.

See if your land qualifies

Tell us about your property. There is no cost and no obligation. If it does not fit, we will tell you plainly.

A rough number is fine. If you are not sure, write not sure.

Does the property have electric service now?
Is there anything like this nearby that you know of?Check any that apply. Guessing is fine.
Are you the one who decides whether to sell?
Where are you in your thinking?

We use this only to evaluate your property and to contact you. We do not sell your information.

Who you are dealing with

We are the buyer, not a middleman

Ask anybody who contacts you about Executive Order 62

It is the cleanest test available to a New York landowner right now. A party who has done real work here will explain immediately how the pause affects their timeline. A party who has not will either not know about it or will talk around it.

A pause is not the same as a stop

Projects under 50 megawatts are not caught by the order, and permits deemed complete beforehand continue. The state has said it is developing standards rather than ending the practice. What that means for your ground depends entirely on your ground.

We are the buyer and most answers are no

We sit across the table from you rather than beside you, and anything we hand you should go to your own attorney before you act on it. Most New York ground we look at will not suit this, and when that is the answer you get it plainly rather than getting silence.

How it works

Four steps, and we do most of the work

  1. You tell us about the land

    Send us the county, roughly the acreage, and which utility bills you. Upstate that is usually National Grid or NYSEG, and knowing which one changes what we go looking at first.

  2. We check it against public records

    We check what transmission runs near you, what is already sitting in the interconnection queue in your area, and how your town and county have handled industrial proposals before. In New York the local land use answer often matters as much as the electrical one.

  3. We call you if it looks workable

    You get the reasoning rather than a verdict, and in this state the reasoning includes where things currently stand with the pause. When the answer is no we name the specific reason, which is useful to you the next time somebody writes.

  4. We make an offer, or we tell you why not

    Paperwork comes last and your attorney reads it before you do anything. Up to that point the only thing we have asked of you is a description of your place.

Selling land for a data center in New York

New York is the only state in this network where the government has actively stepped in front of this. In July 2026 the governor signed Executive Order 62, which halts new discretionary state environmental permits for data centers drawing 50 megawatts or more while the state prepares a generic environmental impact statement on the industry. Projects already deemed complete before the order can carry on. Everything else waits, for roughly a year by the administration's own description, though the order sets no fixed end date. At the same time, demand has not gone anywhere: the queue of large new electric loads waiting to connect to New York's grid grew from about one gigawatt across six projects in 2022 to nearly twelve gigawatts across forty-eight by early 2026. So the honest position for a New York landowner is that interest is real, the door is temporarily shut on the largest projects, and this is a good moment to find out exactly what you have rather than a moment to sign anything. Tell us your county, roughly your acreage, and who bills you for power. We check the public record at no cost and tell you what we find either way.

Not sure if your land is worth asking about?

Ask anyway. Checking costs you nothing, and the properties that turn out to work are often ones the owner assumed were ordinary.
