Industrial properties are high-value targets for wireless carriers. Power infrastructure, elevation, and location make industrial sites ideal for 5G deployment, and carriers structure lease proposals accordingly, maximizing their operational rights while minimizing what they pay. Most industrial property owners have no independent means to evaluate what is being proposed or what it means for their facility over a 25-year term.
Carriers approach industrial landlords with lease structures designed to capture maximum infrastructure flexibility at below-market rates. Common issues include rent set well below true market value for the access and power capacity being utilized, equipment rights written broadly enough to accommodate future technology generations without renegotiation, liability provisions that place RF exposure and structural responsibility on the property owner, and modification clauses that allow carriers to expand antenna arrays and power output under minor modification filings that bypass your review.
SCM Advisors works solely on behalf of property owners. We assess the true market value of wireless infrastructure on your property, review carrier proposals against that baseline, and identify provisions that transfer liability or limit your facility management rights. Our work for industrial property owners includes cellular lease negotiation, Section 6409 modification analysis, RF compliance audits, revenue optimization against market comparables, site compliance field verification, and expert documentation for lease disputes and enforcement actions.
Industrial properties that are properly structured today will be better positioned as carriers expand 5G coverage and begin planning 6G infrastructure. Lease terms negotiated now determine what carriers can install, how much they pay, and what liability they carry for decades. We make sure those terms reflect the actual value of what you are providing.
