Cell Tower Lease Rates ExposedWhat are average cell tower lease rates? That depends on many factors, but the dirty little secret in the cell tower leasing industry is not the amount of rent that you are receiving on a monthly basis. Cell Tower Lease Rates Are Only As Good As The Terms You Agreed To.
Here's the dirty little secret about cell tower lease rates that carriers don't want property owners to know about:• Wireless carriers pay many of their leasing agents (site acquisition consultants) performance bonuses for bringing in leases at lower rates and with favorable terms. Can you afford to negotiate a cell tower lease without professional guidance? What's The Bottom Line For Cell Tower Lease Rates?The average cell tower rent is going to vary from county to county and state to state -- and they also differ depending on which carrier you are dealing with, they amount of pain they have (bad coverage and tough zoning laws), and their budgets.For example, as I write this page in New Jersey, where our company is based, we are currently (2009) negotiating deals with various carriers in different counties between $19,000 per year ($1,583/month) and $36,000 per year ($3,000/month), so it really comes down to supply and demand.
