Cancelling Lease. Possible?

by Jason
(North Florida)

I am interested in purchasing an industrial property that happens to have a 250 ft cell tower. It is a ground lease with an 8% revenue sharing agreement. Owner currently receives 395/month. Original lease ends 2027, with 10 x 5 year extensions. This seems like a terrible deal for the land owner. If I buy this property how can I terminate this lease and renegotiate? One of the Tower operator's tenants is Sprint. The other two tenants are relatively obscure.

Thanks, Jason

Of course they don't WANT to cancel the lease!
by: Jason

My questions was more specifically, are there any technical/legal ways to cancel a lease such as this? I was thinking along the lines of a foreclosure cancelling all existing leases in Florida. In the lease the tower company subordinates their interest to any existing or future mortgages/loans. Has anyone done something similar?

Thanks,

Jason

99% answer is no.

Doubtful that you can terminate just because you are purchasing the land. Sprint is getting a great deal why would they want to change a good thing?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
