Cell Tower Lease Buyouts

Wireless landlords considering cell tower lease buyouts will see a broad range of up-front cash payments for their tower leases. The value of each wireless lease needs to be appraised and evaluated. Your cell tower lease valuation and buyout offer will depend on a number of factors:

• Carrier lease values

• Co-location potential for additional wireless tenants

• Existing cell tower lease terms

• Landlord’s future goals with the property

• Your current financial needs

• Geographic location – metro area

• Zoning requirements of the site

• Buying power of institution making buyout offer

All Tower Lease Buyout Firms Are Not The Same

In some cases the cell site lease buyouts you are being offered are so disturbingly low, that they are an attempt to take advantage of the owner/landlord. These cell tower buyout offers are generally accompanied by with a threatening series of letters and telemarketing calls concerning the stability of a particular wireless tenant or the cellular industry as a whole due to advances in technology or industry consolidation.

In other cases, professional cellular tower lease portfolio managers will contact you directly. These are wireless capital investment companies who are seeking acquisition of cell phone tower leases to add to their portfolios. Your cellular lease is a commodity which can be purchased or sold like any other commodity, bundled and packaged on Wall Street. Many of these financial services firms will offer you a better deal then those enticing cash offers made by the lower-end of the tower lease buying spectrum that resort to using scare tactics. Currently some of the larger and more aggressive tower portfolio managers are offering outstanding deals for specific types of cell tower lease buyouts they are targeting.

In many cases these deals where the landlord receives a significant up-front cash payment for their cell tower lease are beneficial to a Lessor (Owner/Landlord), especially if you really need money for a capital investment in your primary business, or need to solve an immediate cash flow issue. We frequently have cell tower landlords ask us about the future of cell towers, trying to weigh the options of whether to sell the lease and get a large one-time payment, or enjoy the cellular revenue for the next several decades. Our advice: sleep on the cell tower buyout offer a few times.
