How to Use a Cell Tower Lease Calculator?

Maybe you are looking for a cell tower lease calculator because you have been contacted by a cellular carrier like DISH Wireless, Verizon Wireless, AT&T, T-Mobile, or US Cellular to lease rooftop space at your building and you are trying to determine how to calculate the value and lease rates? Or perhaps you’ve received a letter from a real estate site acquisition company or representative working for one of the above-mentioned wireless carriers or from a cell phone tower developer building cell phone towers for them, and they want to lease a portion of your land for a cell phone tower? Or maybe you already have a cell site or a cellular tower on your property and they are looking to add more antennae or expand and they need more space, or they want to renew the lease and you need to figure out what the cell site lease rate should be in your area? So you start looking around the internet for a cell tower lease rate calculator and you might have found a few “professional looking” websites that have a calculator-looking thing embedded on their page entitled “cell tower calculator” or something similar. Interestingly, two of these calculators are identical, somebody we suppose probably borrowed it from somebody else. With all our years of higher education, we could not figure out how to operate it. And it didn’t calculate anything.

Here is the 10-second cell phone tower rent offer and lease rate B.S. (bravo Sierra) detection, calculation, and evaluation method you need to start with if you are evaluating a high-pressure cell site rent proposal that sounds threatening or intimidating. If the consultant is pretending to work for Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, AT&T, or another carrier, but has an email address with that carrier’s name, and uses the words, “rent guarantee”, “lease optimization”, “value to our network”, “lease modification”, “termination rights”, “Right of First Refusal” or other phrases, and they have a local area code in the San Diego, California or Dallas, Texas area, they are almost 99% certainly not working for the carrier. They are one of two companies I won’t mention by name, and they are probably trying to lock you into a terrible one-sided rent reduction or rent guarantee lease amendment, with the sublet threat of exercising their termination rights if you don’t agree to their offer.

* If your cell tower lease consultant gives you an “average rent” or a “rental range”, they are amateurs, reading off of a script.

* If your tower lease consultant tells you values are calculated by square feet, they are working for the carriers or tower companies.

These “cell tower lease consultants” work for the carriers and cell tower companies and it is very hard to tell who they are. You can always search for them on Linked In and you will usually get your answer there if they have a profile. These rent reduction companies are like mold and mildew. You can throw some bleach on them, and they go away for a while, but they will always come back and keep calling to reduce the rent. So when they call you, turn the table on them and ask them, how exactly did you calculate this “optimized lease rate” that you want me to agree to? Ask them to explain to you how cell tower rent values are determined and we would love to hear from you about what they tell you. Ask them to show you their rent calculator. Most of them will get nervous and they will not be able to go “off script”. It might prevent them from calling you back for a few months.
