Our Cell Tower Lease Forum is a platform to ask questions pertaining to any cell tower lease question that you may have, sponsored by AirWave Management, a New Jersey-based Cell Tower Consulting and Rooftop Cellular Antenna Site Management firm. We are experts in wireless leasing and site development, as well as tower valuations and negotiating cell tower lease purchase and buyout transactions.
Do you have a question about cell tower lease negotiations, re-negotiations, tower lease renewals or expiring cell tower lease agreements, cell tower site selection criteria, rooftop wireless leasing or subletting issues? There are no dumb questions about cell sites except the ones that you don't ask.
