Why Valuation of Cell Tower Leases Is Crucial

An accurate valuation of inherited cell tower leases is essential for:

  • Estate Administration: Establishing the value of the lease for tax reporting and equitable distribution among heirs.
  • Informed Decision-Making: Understanding the lease’s income potential and associated responsibilities to decide whether to retain, renegotiate, or sell the lease.
  • Future Planning: Identifying opportunities to maximize revenue or mitigate risks associated with the lease.

Our Approach to Lease Valuation

At Steel in the Air, our proven valuation methodology combines in-depth analysis and market expertise. Here’s how we evaluate cell tower leases:

  1. Lease Terms Review: We thoroughly examine the lease’s financial structure, including base rent, escalation clauses, renewal options, and termination rights.
  2. Tenant Profile Assessment: The strength and reliability of the tenant, often a wireless carrier, significantly influence the lease’s value.
  3. Market Benchmarking: Using our extensive database and proprietary tools, we compare your lease’s terms with similar agreements in the market.
  4. Revenue Forecasting: We evaluate potential future income by considering factors like lease renewals, market trends, and the evolving needs of wireless carriers.
  5. Risk Analysis: We identify risks such as lease termination, changes in technology, or zoning issues that could impact the lease’s value.
