Built on Land, Power, and Long-Term Thinking
Next Generation Land Company is a land-focused acquisition and development firm specializing in sites suited for modern data center and digital infrastructure development. Our work sits at the intersection of land, power, and long-term growth—where timing, infrastructure reality, and relationships matter more than hype. We focus on identifying and preparing land that can actually be delivered: properties with viable power access, infrastructure potential, and the ability to scale over decades. Our approach is disciplined and selective. We don’t chase trends or force sites to fit. We evaluate markets and properties based on real-world constraints, then move decisively when alignment exists. The result is land positioned not just to transact, but to perform.
Leadership
Brian Patten is the Founder and CEO of Next Generation Land Company. With more than 25 years in the land business, Brian brings a deep, practical understanding of how growth unfolds—and where it breaks down when fundamentals are ignored. Grounded in a multi-generational real estate background, his perspective is shaped by long cycles, not short-term wins.
Brian is known for a straightforward, integrity-driven approach. He believes the land business is ultimately a people business—built on trust, clarity, and follow-through. That mindset guides how Next Generation Land Company works with landowners, utilities, municipalities, and end users alike. Decisions are made carefully, commitments are honored, and relationships are treated as long-term assets.
At its core, the firm reflects Brian’s belief that real value is created before construction ever begins—by seeing what’s coming, preparing for it responsibly, and doing exactly what you say you’re going to do.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create long-term value by preparing land that can truly support the infrastructure shaping the digital economy. We focus on identifying, aligning, and advancing sites where power, infrastructure, and timing converge—so projects can move forward with clarity and confidence.
We believe real value is created before development begins. By working closely with landowners, utilities, municipalities, and infrastructure partners, we reduce uncertainty, honor commitments, and help ensure that land is positioned to perform for decades—not just transact once. Our work is guided by integrity, decisiveness, and a long-term view of growth.
