Hi all,I recently posted about this topic and unfortunately did not receive any responses.I have recently established my land acquisition business with the goal to purchase parcels of land, either within data center opportunity zones or areas with the potential to allow for data center development, rezone the property with submitted plans, then sell to developers ‘shovel-ready’ within the various jurisdictions of the Commonwealth of Virginia.I understand there are multiple mechanisms that come into play including obtaining financing (partnering with an experienced investor), utilizing land-use attorneys, land surveying and engineering firms, appraisers, as well as approval from local planning commissions, board of supervisors, etc.Would there be any investors who are currently active in this niche?

How much term is left, strength of the tenant, rent escalators, rent/sq ft, etc.You also want to make sure you have a good understanding of the roof, parking lot, and mechanicals because in a traditional NNN lease, the landlord is reponsible for these items..and they can get expensive.
