“Most land advisors focus on transactions. Powered Land Advisory delivers certainty. We evaluate sites using the Cohen 10 ‘P’s—our proprietary framework that reduces uncertainty and strengthens site selection. Through DataCenterix, we engage key stakeholders before development, including developers, off-takers, mission-critical contractors, substation designers, and load-study engineers. Our process streamlines timelines, aligns properties with partners, and positions each asset to create lasting value for the grid, community, and your organization.” -Al Cohen, Principal Advisor & Founder
DataCenterix knows Texas
By 2030, Texas will become the world’s largest data center market.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀
→ 35+GW energy construction in US.
→ Texas will get at least 7 GW of total.
→ DC vacancy: 1% for 2 years running.
[That 1% kills the "bubble" narrative]
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀

Your Go-To for Texas
Ai-Ready Land Site
Welcome to datacenterlandsites.com, your premier resource for identifying and securing strategic land sites for data center development in Texas. We connect energy-intensive users with power-ready locations, streamlining the site selection process for long-term success.
The combination of cheap, available land and abundant energy resources is attracting companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, StarGate, Fermi and many more to build data centers in Texas.
Many Data Centers are also qualified for a 15-year, 80% property tax abatement from the county, and benefit from our site selection experts recommendation by building in Texas Enterprise Zone. Even with the tax abatement, data centers can generate revenue that’s equivalent in property taxes to almost 900 residential rooftops.
The state also offers tax breaks to qualifying data centers, including a temporary sales tax exemption and other incentives.
Officials around the great state of Texas and Economic Development Offices welcome the development of giant server farms in the face of a population boom and ever increasing employment opportunities.
TRANSACTION TERMS & STRUCTURAL OPTIONS
Our ownership group is fully aware of the extreme scarcity of 300MW–500MW immediate-power acreage in the Northeast market and the multi-hundred-million-dollar opportunity cost saved by what this property can offer. We are seeking either a Structural Ground Lease or a clean, high-conviction Outright Cash Transaction with an institutional partner capable of executing at speed.
Option A: Structural Ground Lease
• Structure: Long-term, triple-net (NNN) Structural Ground Lease (50 to 99 years) customized for institutional infrastructure financing.
• Terms: Initial annual base rent and escalation structures are open to negotiation based on the tenant’s exact credit profile, phase-in timeline, and total megawatt utilization footprint.
Option B: Outright Acquisition (As-Is Asking Price)
• Price: text Al Cohen at 713-480-7777 or email acohen@lovettcommercial.com
• Transaction Structure: Strict As-Is, All-In, Non-Contingent Cash Sale. The purchase agreement shall NOT be contingent upon zoning modifications, environmental SEQR reviews, permitting, or local municipal approvals. The Buyer assumes all local zoning and permitting risks post-closing.
Timeline & Deposits (Applicable to Both Structures)
• Due Diligence: 30-Day Physical Due Diligence Period (limited strictly to environmental, geotechnical, and boundary surveys), followed by a mandatory 15-Day Close/Execution.
• Earnest Money: A 10% deposit (based on option A or B), or an agreed-upon institutional letter of credit / hard escrow deposit, is required upon contract signing. The deposit becomes completely non-refundable and released to the Seller immediately upon expiration of the 30-day due diligence period.
We are currently in the preliminary stages of evaluating expressions of interest and conceptual development plans from digital infrastructure platforms and capital partners.
If your team wishes to review additional site maps, grid R.O.W. mapping, gas infrastructure indicators, transmission routes, or substation imagery, please respond directly to coordinate.
For data center developers, selecting the right site is akin to the foundation of a building—fundamental and unshakeable. The requirements are exacting, often non-negotiable, and vary significantly depending on the specifics of the project.
Al Cohen's 10 "P"s of AI-Powered Land:
Cohen's 10 "P"s
- The Plug – Available substation & energization timeline
- The Power – Scalable MW capacity (future expansion)
- The Pad – Flat, dry, geotechnically sound site
- The Permit – By-right zoning & fast approvals
- The Path – Fiber, logistics, and heavy haul access
- The Price – Cost per acre & cost per MW
- The Policy – Incentives and pro-development jurisdiction
- The Protection – Flood, climate, and grid resilience
- The Proximity – Talent, metros, and infrastructure access
- The Peace – Low community opposition / rural buffer
Each parameter is a critical puzzle piece in the larger picture of a data center project. It’s not about finding a site that ticks a few boxes; it’s about a comprehensive fit that will facilitate the efficient, secure, and scalable function of the data center now and well into the future.
