Residents, Landowners Join the Great AT&T Sale of Cell Tower Leases

John Pestle, a telecommunications lawyer based in Grand Rapids, MI who handles the sale of cell phone tower leases, explains three major factors that must be considered when setting up a cell tower on any property. First, the site acquisitions company representing the wireless service provider determines the strategic importance of the land for a cell tower. Towers near major infrastructures such as freeways can be more valuable for telecommunication companies. Second, the company reviews all of their cell site candidates as there may be other more attractive locations for cell sites elsewhere. Third, cellular tower investors like TowerPoint Capital may be able to review the cell site and determine whether the location is viable for a new tower lease. The latter option is more attractive because it entails less cost for the company.
