Site Upgrades & Modifications
Our Services
Cell tower site upgrades and modifications often require Carriers to add new equipment and increase the amount of leased space from owners
Carriers are constantly upgrading their cell tower sites to accommodate increased nationwide consumer demand and to account for technological advances. Despite these additions to the lease, Carriers typically offer to pay little to no rent increase while also including additional language that only benefits them! Many times, we find that equipment upgrades are being completed under the guise of routine maintenance. Carriers often use third-party contractors to complete Site Upgrades and these contractors are under tight deadlines, so they often overlook contractual requirements to meet demand. Many times, Cell Tower Site Upgrades require that carriers seek the owner’s written approval, consent or a modification of the agreement terms that could mean additional rent or payments due to you.
Fortunately, upgrades usually require owner’s approval – This means there may be a unique window of opportunity to “remedy and amend” the original lease and improve the overall financial value.
We will determine if the proposed upgrades and/or modifications to the carrier’s equipment is within the legal lease entitlements. If not, then an amendment and rent increase may be warranted.
