Illinois closed its data center incentive to new applicants in July 2026.

We purchase and option Illinois land for data center development. The state exemption is paused for two years. That does not stop projects, but it does change what any developer talking to you is actually working with.

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?

By sending this, you agree that we may contact you by phone, text message, or email about your property. Message and data rates may apply. You can tell us to stop at any time and we will. Agreeing is not a condition of any sale or purchase.

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 whoever writes to you about the pause

It is the cleanest test of whether a party actually knows this state. Anyone still describing the Illinois exemption as available for a new project has either not kept up or is hoping you have not. The answer you get tells you a great deal about who you are dealing with.

Without the exemption, your site has to carry more of the case

When a tax break covers part of the arithmetic, a merely adequate site can work. When it does not, the ground itself has to justify the project. That makes genuine transmission access worth more in Illinois now, not less, and it narrows interest to properties that are actually good.

We are the buyer and most answers are no

We sit across the table from you rather than beside you, and you should take anything we send to your own attorney. Most Illinois ground we look at will not suit this, and when that is the answer you will get it plainly rather than getting nothing.

How it works

Four steps, and we do most of the work

  1. You tell us about the land

    Tell us the county, roughly the acreage, and whether anyone has already approached you about it. Given the timing, when an approach happened is nearly as informative as what it said.

  2. We check it against public records

    We check who serves your power, which grid region you sit in, and what transmission runs near you. Northern and southern Illinois answer to different grid operators, so this is not a formality here.

  3. We call you if it looks workable

    You get the reasoning rather than a verdict. Where the answer is no, we name the specific thing that rules it out, so it is worth something to you next time somebody writes.

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

    Paperwork comes last and your attorney sees it before you act on it. Until that point the only thing we have asked you for is a description of your ground.

Selling land for a data center in Illinois

The single most useful thing an Illinois landowner can know right now is that the state's Data Center Investment Program stopped accepting new agreements on 1 July 2026, on the governor's direction, for a period of two years. Agreements already in place are being honoured. What that means for you is practical: a developer approaching you either signed before the cutoff, is planning without the state exemption, or is working from information that is out of date. It is a fair and revealing question to put to them. On the ground itself, send us your county, a rough acreage, and what runs near you electrically. We check public records at no cost and answer 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.
