LANDOWNERS

Do you want to secure an extremely steady stream of long term income for your land? If you are a landowner, you might be able to benefit financially from the demand for infrastructure projects and renewable energy projects.

If you currently use your land for timber or other agricultural purposes, you can avoid the typical fluctuations and risk from weather, commodity prices, tenant operations, etc. This is a stable long term opportunity to generate substantial income by leasing or selling some of your land at competitive market prices.

We can lease land or buy land. Whether we buy or lease land, we will pay a competitive rate above market. Our leases are typically long term leases, i.e. 20 to 40 years.

Construction for most infrastructure and energy generation projects typically does not begin until the project developer / project owner has a long-term contract assuring a well defined revenue stream for the life of the project, i.e. typically 20 to 40 years. In the case of a landowner leasing their land, such a contract provides comfort since a project with a contracted revenue stream ensures the land lease payments to be extremely steady and dependable.

If we do sign a lease with you for your land, we recognize that you remain the owner of the land and we simply have contracted to be a guest for a long period of time. We have deep respect for landowners’ rights and observe a lease as a long term relationship. Under the terms of our lease agreements we are obligated to remove all project equipment and return the land to its original condition at the end of the lease, i.e. the end of the project life.

The primary benefit for a landowner that enters a lease is an extremely steady secure income stream. It’s difficult to find a more steady and stable tenant than an operating energy generation project.

If you would like to learn more about the parameters of leasing or selling your land for use with an energy generation project or infrastructure project, please contact us.

Land Review

Upon receiving your inquiry, we will use a variety of resources to assess the prospects for your land.

Option Period

We do not move to a real estate closing within a month or so of initial discussions. In lieu of that, we sign option agreements with landowners, i.e. an option for us to buy the land or an option for us to lease the land. The option term will typically be a minimum of five years and possibly as long as eight years. During the option term you can continue to use your land for farming or most any current use. We will conduct due diligence on your land during this time, such as reviewing wetlands, topography, flood zones, cultural issues, title search, easements, etc. Most of this is done online, however if we come onto the property it will only be with your permission and will likely not interfere with farming or other current activities.

Construction Period

Sometime during the option period, we hope to exercise the option and buy the property or enter a long term lease. Soon after closing on such an agreement, we will begin construction

Project Operations

Once construction is complete, the project will operate for a specifically stipulated period of time, i.e. 20 to 40 years. We always know the exact length (years) of the project’s initial term prior to beginning construction. There can be mutually agreed upon extensions beyond the initial term, but we always know the exact length of the initial term.
