Case Study
Navigating a $1M Las Vegas Wireless Site Buyout
A Looming Cash Investment in High Interest Times
In March of 2022, Las Vegas Attorney and Investor Garrett Wilson received a call from an Acquisitions Advisor at Symphony Towers Infrastructure about a cellular site on property he owns. Garrett had been approached before about selling the site, but it never seemed like the right time. However, with an upcoming development project creating a looming cash shortfall, now seemed to be a great time to find out “what is this cell tower on my land worth?”
Speaking with an advisor at Symphony Towers, Garrett outlined his development and retirement plans, laying out the timeline he had for both. The timeline for the development was at the end of the month, and Symphony Towers let him know that we work quickly and with flexibility to ensure the cellular tower acquisition is handled properly.
An Industry Expert For An Industry Opportunity
When you partner with Symphony Towers, you are leveraging our industry relationships built over decades. With Symphony Towers connections in the cellular carrier industry, we are well-positioned to fill those spots on the tower and create a revenue share for new cellular carrier leases.
All Hands On Deck
Symphony Towers advisors worked with their Pricing and Legal Team to get an offer to Garrett less than a week from their first conversation and closed within a week of finalizing the updated title report. As Garrett combined three parcels into one, Legal worked quickly to consolidate and update titles. Working out these details quickly, Symphony was able to close within a month of the initial offer.
With this payout, Garrett sees an opportunity to expand his business by using tax-friendly cash to build his development, while the opportunity for additional carriers on the tower could fuel his retirement.
Symphony Towers advisors explained the benefits of selling the cellular tower on his property, outlining the tax advantages and how they correlate to his development and retirement. They review cellular tower lease documents together that include a major telecom carrier lease of $5,000 per month and space for two more carriers that he had not been successful marketing on his own.
With A Desirable Location In Las Vegas and Existing Value, Symphony Towers Made An Offer To Purchase The Lease With A Payout Of Over $1,000,000.
Cellular Tower Sale Benefits All Parties Involved
Not only did the sale of the tower for over $1,000,000 come in a tax-friendly 1031 Exchange, it worked perfectly with the plans that Garrett had for his new development. Speed, efficiency and industry expertise fueled a new asset for Symphony Towers and an interest rate-friendly cash investment for Garrett.
