The United States' wireless infrastructure continues to expand. According to the Wireless Infrastructure Association, approximately 158,500 purpose-built cellular towers were in operation nationwide at the end of 2025, alongside 254,850 macrocell sites, 198,100 outdoor small cells, and more than 830,000 indoor small-cell nodes supporting growing demand for 5G connectivity and mobile data. This continued investment reflects the industry's efforts to increase network capacity, improve coverage, and accommodate bandwidth-intensive applications across both urban and rural markets
That density reflects sustained demand for tower sites and means many landowners across the country are likely to encounter lease or buyout offers at some point. JW Tower & Telecom Consulting says the report is intended to give property owners an independent reference point before they respond to any offer.
The report argues that buyout offers are typically priced as a discount to the buyer's own valuation model rather than as a reflection of fair market value. Offers are frequently calculated off current rent alone, the analysis notes, leaving out annual escalators and renewal terms that would otherwise increase a lease's long-term value considerably.
The resource also addresses two factors many owners overlook: future upside from additional tenants or equipment, which transfers to the buyer once a lease is sold, and the use of perpetual easements — a structure that can permanently separate lease income from the underlying land.
The report outlines steps owners should take before responding to any offer: reading the existing lease, obtaining an independent valuation, resisting deadline pressure, soliciting competing offers, and reviewing the tax and structural implications with a qualified professional.
