Broker Referral Program for Data Center & Infrastructure Sites
We partner with licensed Texas real estate agents who encounter land that may be suitable for data center or other large-load infrastructure development.
Our role is to vet feasibility — including power availability, transmission constraints, fiber access, and timing — and to advance only sites that are realistically viable for hyperscale data centers, edge or modular facilities, battery storage, or utility-scale energy projects. When a referred site results in a successful transaction, we share fees with the referring broker.
Who This Program Is For
This program is designed for licensed Texas real estate agents and brokers who work with:
-
Farm & ranch properties
-
Large acreage tracts
-
Rural or edge-of-metro land
-
Substation- or transmission-adjacent sites
-
Landowners approached by infrastructure or technology users
You do not need to be an expert in power, data centers, or infrastructure. Our team handles technical evaluation and developer outreach.
What Types of Properties Are a Fit
Not every property is suitable for data center development. We are generally interested in sites that may have:
-
Proximity to transmission lines or substations
-
Potential access to utility-scale power
-
Adequate acreage for large-load users
-
Reasonable zoning or entitlement pathways
-
Landowners open to infrastructure or long-term users
If a site is uncertain, that’s fine. We would rather review early and screen appropriately than advance something that isn’t viable.
Infrastructure Use Cases We Evaluate
In addition to hyperscale data center sites, we also evaluate land for a range of infrastructure and large-load uses where power access, transmission, and siting constraints drive value. These include:
Hyperscale & Enterprise Data Centers
-
Large contiguous sites with access to transmission-level power
-
Long-term development horizons and structured option agreements
Edge & Modular Data Centers
-
Smaller footprints near population centers or fiber routes
-
Sites where distribution-level power or phased capacity may be viable
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
-
Transmission- or distribution-adjacent sites
-
ERCOT-connected locations with viable interconnection paths
Utility-Scale Solar & Wind
-
Large acreage suitable for generation
-
Sites with feasible interconnection and minimal permitting friction
If a property aligns with one or more of these use cases, we can assess feasibility and determine whether it warrants advancement.
-
What We Do
When a potential site is submitted, our team evaluates feasibility using an infrastructure-first lens, including:
-
Power availability at N-0 and N-1 contingencies, at peak and off-peak.
-
Path to power or interconnection feasibility
-
Transmission and distribution constraints
-
Fiber availability where applicable
-
Zoning, entitlement, and timing considerations
-
Marketability to data center, energy, or infrastructure developers
Only sites that clear these hurdles are advanced.
How Referral Fees Work
If a referred property results in a successful transaction — including a sale, lease, option, or advisory engagement — we share fees with the referring broker.
-
Referral fees are paid only upon successful closing or fee receipt
-
All referral arrangements are documented in a written broker referral agreement
-
The referring broker remains protected and recognized for the introduction
-
Specific economics are discussed privately and structured in compliance with Texas real estate regulations.
You Don’t Give Up Your Listing
When you bring a property to us through the broker referral program, you do not give up control of your listing or your traditional buyer marketing.
You may continue to:
-
Market the property to conventional buyers
-
List and advertise the property as you normally would
-
Pursue standard sale or lease opportunities
At the same time, we market the site quietly and selectively to a focused group of infrastructure buyers—including data center, energy, and storage developers—who often value properties at significantly higher price points than traditional uses.
This dual-track approach:
-
Preserves your existing strategy
-
Expands the buyer universe
-
Does not limit or delay a traditional sale
-
Creates upside that would not exist otherwise
If a conventional buyer closes first, nothing changes.
If an infrastructure buyer emerges, the referral structure applies as outlined.
No Dual Agency Confusion
When working through our broker referral program, the referring broker remains the landowner’s broker of record unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Texas Data Center Realty operates as a specialty advisory and marketing platform, not as a competing listing broker. We do not represent traditional buyers or end users unless we are explicitly engaged to do so by the broker of record.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Texas Data Center Realty does not act as an agent for buyers and does not create dual agency relationships.
What This Is — and Is Not
This program is not:
-
A mass-marketing platform
-
A guarantee that a site will transact
-
A replacement for your relationship with your client
It is:
-
A way to add value to landowners with infrastructure potential
-
A way to participate in complex transactions without carrying technical risk
-
A referral-based partnership built around real feasibility and disciplined execution
Not every site is suitable for every infrastructure use; our role is to identify the highest and best infrastructure outcome based on power, location, and market conditions.
