TELECOM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FOR LANDLORDS

Eliminate Costly Utility Leakages & Maximize Rental Revenue Yield

Commercial portfolios possess highly valuable telecom real estate. But telecom leases are highly specialized, technical and long-term. Without dedicated expertise, landlords frequently experience revenue leakage and unrecovered utility costs.

BaseTower acts as the landlord's dedicated Telecom Asset Manager. We align your portfolio with industry benchmarks.

Why Landlords Need Us
• Asymmetry of Expertise - TowerCos use legal teams for one-sided MLAs• Technical Complexity - Structural loading, fiber, generators, radio upgrades• Utility Subsidization - Landlord unknowingly pays for operator electricity

Core Value Deliverables

CPI & Escalation Correction

We audit historical lease payments to ensure compound annual escalations applied correctly. Major source of hidden revenue recovery.

Electricity Sub-Metering

Push for direct municipal connections. Where sub-meters required, we manage auditing & billing to guarantee zero utility leakage.

Co-location Revenue Sharing

Modern sites host multiple tenants. We audit agreements to ensure landlord receives contractual revenue share when operator adds sub-tenant.

Intermediary Mgmt

We handle all correspondence, access, technical queries.

Market Renewals

Renewals reflect market values, not below-market baselines.
