Tower Site Management

Cell site management

While we don't provide marketing services for landowners to help get a tower on their property, we do offer cell site management services to assist small tower owners with the management and administration of their cell site lease.

Services offered to small or independent tower owners include:

• Review of New Lease Proposals
  You may believe that you are receiving the fair market value for your cell site lease, but that would assume you negotiated appropriately in the past. Alternatively, you may be looking at what other tower owners typically receive. This assumes that all collocation requests and all towers are "created equal". Location of the tower and its proximity to alternative towers can all have a significant impact on the value of the lease. Large tower companies must negotiate master lease agreements, meaning every collocation in a given area commands the same lease rate. Private small tower owners do not -- they can charge based on the uniqueness of the individual location. That often means that they can charge MORE.
• Review of Lease Modification Requests
  We are regularly surprised by the willingness of small tower owners to allow modifications to their towers without asking for additional compensation. Some, but not all, tower collocation leases limit the ability of the wireless carrier to augment or change their antenna loading. We can assess what the carrier will pay before they choose to forgo the modifications.

  Amazingly, many small tower owners allow modifications to their towers without asking for additional compensation.

We can assess what the carrier will pay before they choose to forgo the modifications.
• Requests to Renegotiate Collocation Lease Rates
  We can review your location and its proximity to other cell sites to determine whether you have any risk should you choose not to renegotiate your lease. Please see MD7 Lease Renegotiations, AT&T Renegotiations, and Sprint Renegotiations for more details.
• Requests to Purchase Your Tower
  Since we've assisted in the sale of over $650M in towers over the last 7 years, we are familiar with tower valuation. We can review offers to purchase your communication tower and then suggest whether the offer is adequate. We can also review offers from lease buyout companies such as Unison Site Management to buy your existing leases, market the tower to other carriers, and suggest the pros and cons of such an agreement.

Please contact us for more information about cell site management and how we can help you maximize your revenue while minimizing the hassle of negotiating leases and amendments.
