Public lands in the Northern Mariana Islands are situated on a vast diversity of terrain that lend to a multiplicity of land uses - including championship golf courses, five- star hotels, manufacturing plants, service stations, housing facilities, agricultural sites, and much more.

The DPL partners with its lessees, which include worldwide brands such as the Hyatt, Shimizu Corporation, Mobil Oil, Shell Oil, and Pacific Telecom Inc., and others to maximize the mutual benefits that are derived from public land leasing. Such partnerships fuel a significant part of the local economy, so the NMI Government continuously endeavors to make its local regulations more business-friendly.

When it comes to public lands, size does not matter. No matter how big or small of an investment, the DPL works to customize its leases to fit the needs of its clients, which comprise of small businesses like batting cage facilities to multi-million dollar companies that cater to thousands of customers year round.

Our lessees are also spread across three different islands in the Marianas chain. The three main inhabited islands of Saipan, Rota, and Tinian are the main islands where the DPL's lessees are currently located. However, the Northern Islands, numbering ten tiny island paradises north of Saipan, also possess a lot of potential - especially for eco-tourism ventures. Anyone interested in leasing public land in the NMI may contact any of our lessees to find impartial information about doing business with the DPL.
