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.
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. by: Stephen
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?
