Lease Renewals and Extensions
Lease Renewals and Extensions
As tower companies—large and small—control the majority of cell towers across the country, they’re now revisiting leases that were signed decades ago. Their goal is simple: reduce operating costs by locking in lease extensions at the lowest possible rent. From a business perspective, that makes sense. But as a property owner, it means you need to be prepared and well-represented to protect your financial interests.
That’s where CellWaves comes in.
With decades of hands-on experience, we’ve negotiated countless wireless lease agreements across the country. Our job is to ensure you receive fair market value—or better—for the use of your land. We know the tactics used by tower companies. One of the most common? Offering a signing bonus to distract you from the low long-term rent they’re proposing. These bonuses might seem appealing, but they often come at the expense of significantly reduced overall income.
At CellWaves, we look beyond short-term incentives. We focus on structuring lease terms that provide lasting value for property owners—because we understand how to navigate the fine print and spot what others miss.
When you partner with us, you’re backed by over 20 years of deep, industry-specific expertise. We’ve worked exclusively in this space and know what’s negotiable, what’s not, and how to maximize income on every deal.
Don’t leave money on the table. Let CellWaves advocate for you and ensure your wireless lease extension is working for you—not just the tower company.
When property owners try to negotiate wireless lease renewals on their own—or hire consultants without true industry experience—they often make a critical mistake: basing future rent on outdated or current figures. Without insider knowledge of how the industry operates, they miss key opportunities to secure better terms.
Some consultants may claim to be lawyers or wireless experts. Before taking their advice, ask the right questions. Are they currently licensed to practice law? Do they have real wireless carrier experience, or just a polished website and clever marketing? The truth is, many so-called experts have never stepped foot on a cell site and lack the technical or operational understanding needed to represent your best interests.
At CellWaves, we’ve spent over 20 years inside the wireless industry. We know how the carriers work, what motivates them, and most importantly, how to negotiate on your behalf to maximize the value of your lease.
Once a lease extension is signed, it’s nearly impossible to undo. That’s why your best—and often only—chance to improve your lease terms is before you sign anything. We’ve heard from too many landlords who came to us after signing regrettable deals, hoping we could fix them. Unfortunately, by then, their options were limited.
If you’re being approached for a lease renewal or extension, don’t go it alone. Don’t settle for call center advice or consultants who learned about the business from blog posts. Get guidance from a team that’s worked in the field, understands tower operations, and has a proven record of success negotiating favorable terms for property owners nationwide.
Let’s talk. Your initial consultation is free—and it may be the most valuable conversation you’ll have about your lease.
