The basics & before you sign

Understanding cell tower lease buyout offers

A cell tower lease buyout gives property owners a lump-sum payment in exchange for future tower lease income. Knowing whether it's the right decision — and getting the highest possible payout — is where most owners need guidance. Before agreeing to any buyout, make sure you understand exactly what you are signing — and what you are trading away.

What the deal looks like
Tower owner $ Investor LEASE RIGHTS ASSIGNED LUMP-SUM PAYMENT

Lump-Sum Cash Payments

A lump-sum buyout is the sale of your cell tower lease. The transaction involves you assigning the rights of your cell tower lease to your investor, who provides the payment. Getting the most favorable terms for you is crucial if you want to achieve the highest returns and make the entire effort worth your while.

Deadlines managed Offer signed Day 30 Day 90 · closed

Time Constraints

A typical closing can take between 30 and 90 days. Depending on each situation, Nexus Towers works to keep your deadlines on track so you won't have to worry about the process dragging on and preventing you from getting the payment you're seeking or meeting a simultaneous closing or refinance deadline.

Who else has to sign off & the tax picture
Lender SNDA signed Cleared to close

Lender's Consent (SNDA)

If the property has a loan in place, the current lienholder will need to sign a "Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement" prior to closing. If this isn't an option, alternative solutions can be discussed. Our experts have all the necessary knowledge to make this aspect of your buyout as smooth and painless as it can be.

Capital gains treatment 1031 Exchange typically eligible

Capital Gains Tax Treatment

The proceeds from a cell tower lease buyout are typically considered capital gains and qualify for a 1031 Exchange. In the past, our clients' tax professionals have structured the transaction in other creative ways for tax purposes. We advise you to consult with your tax professional before any transaction, as we are not tax professionals.

What owners most often don't realize they're giving up
Easement · long-term rights VS Fee transfer · land conveyed

Easement vs. Fee Transfer

Most buyouts don't actually "sell the lease." They convey a long-term easement — or in some cases a fee-simple strip of land — giving the buyer long-term rights. Understanding exactly what you're conveying matters, because it affects how you can use the rest of your property for decades to come.

Lump sum today Decades of escalating rent

Future Lease Income Forgone

A lump sum can look attractive in isolation. Factor in decades of escalated rent, renewal opportunities, and inflation-adjusted cash flow, and the present-value math often tells a different story. A real side-by-side comparison is essential before signing.
