Cellular Lease Buyouts and Advisory services

Institutional and Private Investors:
TCA provides buy-side, sell-side and investment advisory services for family offices, hedge funds, private equity firms, financial institutions and aggregation companies seeking to acquire or divest portfolios and platforms or to raise capital. We have advised on more than $700 million in purchases and capital investments since 2013.

Site Owners and Municipalities:
Honest advisory and analytical services for Site Owners seeking to sell their rent stream are available at no charge - no matter whom they choose to sell to. Unlike other firms, TCA does not suggest we will 'value' your tower or lease and then provide a low number in an attempt to buy it. We are the only firm in the industry to publish our (and the overall market) purchase multiples quarterly so that site owners with lease revenue from the wireless carriers can make informed decisions about selling or not selling their asset.

Since 2015, TCA has been retained by AT&T to manage their tower acquisition initiative for their tower landlords. If you are a tower owner with AT&T as a tenant, contact us for more information.

Current Pricing, Cap Rates and Statistics:
Obtain the information you need to make an informed decision about the value of telecom towers and leases. Our advice is free for individual site owners and municipalities and our data is available to the public. TCA also provides valuable insights into the varied marketing 'techniques' used by some buyout firms to convince site owners to sell and opines on their validity.

Full Year 2022 market statistics and cap rates for wireless leases and cell towers were updated and published on 2/20/23. A 'must read' for prospective sellers.

In summary, 2022 prices have trended higher but seem to be flattening. Activity is brisk in the space in what continues to be a seller's market.

Read our opinion on the effects inflation and rising rates have on future prices for wireless leases and cell towers.

For Site and Tower Owners:
Companies that call to amend, extend or buy your wireless lease or tower all have one common goal: To pay you as little as possible and take as much as possible in return.

TCA's principals have been in the wireless infrastructure acquisition business since 2001 and have acquired and advised on more than $700 million in asset purchases. Our Lease Buyout section describes how lease monetization works and what to do and what NOT to do when selling or amending a lease, and no matter who you sell it to, our advice is free. When, and if, you are ready to consider monetizing your wireless lease or selling a cell tower, call us for a bespoke offer backed by more than $1 billion in capital or funded by our carrier partner directly.

TCA Tower Acquisitions and Sell-Side Engagements:
As an AT&T National Partner, TCA values and acquires (either for our own funds or for AT&T themselves) cell towers and leases. For those requiring an RFP process, TCA offers formal sell-side engagement services, with record results. See our Market Data section for information on recent Tower and Lease pricing and contact us today for more information.
