With the Whitepages Pro API, DHD turns parcel lists into actionable owner records in under an hour — replacing weeks of manual research and removing a bottleneck that slowed landowner contacts
Davis Hill Development (DHD) is a solar developer, owner, and operator with more than 160 projects across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Its projects are built on land leased from private families, holding companies, and timber and forest groups — so every project starts with identifying the right parcels and finding the owners behind them. No project moves forward until DHD connects with those owners, and that connection depends on contact information that's accurate and current.
DHD identifies parcels suited to solar development through geospatial analysis, then works to reach the owners behind them and build relationships that lead to a win-win lease. The team can find the right parcels with confidence — but a parcel is only valuable once it's connected to reliable owner contact information.
County parcel records gave DHD a starting point, but the contact information attached to those records was often outdated or inaccurate. To fill the gaps, they tested outsourcing manual owner-contact lookups. That work could take more than 100 hours for a single project and still left the team without contact data it could fully trust. DHD needed a faster, more dependable way to turn parcel lists into decision-makers it could actually reach.
DHD built a proprietary application that automates its data pipeline, with the Whitepages Pro API supplying reliable owner contact information at the center of the workflow. The process starts with geospatial analysis to identify parcels of interest, then connects each parcel to its owner and sends that record to the Whitepages Pro API. Whitepages returns current owner contact data which loads directly into DHD's CRM, ready for the team to begin building a relationship toward a win-win land agreement.
The accuracy behind that data comes from the Whitepages Identity Graph, which matches property records to current owners and the contact information they actually use today — so DHD can reach the right people behind the parcels it wants to pursue.

With the Whitepages Pro API, DHD automated landowner research and removed a bottleneck that was slowing its ability to reach the right people. What once took weeks now takes under an hour — cutting research costs by 95% and letting the team spend more time building the relationships that lead to signed leases, rather than chasing down contact information.
95% lower landowner research costs
100+ hours → under 1 hour research time per project
Every solar project starts with a landowner relationship. Getting to the right owner sooner means we can spend more time where it matters instead of searching for their contact information.
