SteelTree Partners evaluates each potential or existing tower individually based upon the factors listed above. SteelTree Partners then reviews the portfolio as a whole to determine whether the size and makeup of the portfolio will influence the multiple. By comparing these factors to those from other tower transactions, SteelTree Partners can arrive at the appropriate valuation and the resulting multiple.

This valuation is typically provided in the form of a “letter of opinion” assessing the value of tower assets. SteelTree Partners’ clients have used these letters to help procure funding from banks and other financial institutions. The members of SteelTree Partners have also been retained as expert witnesses in tower valuation lawsuits to provide valuation services.

If you have a portfolio of towers and are attempting to determine whether you should sell them or hold on to them, SteelTree Partners offers a free verbal valuation of your tower assets. We do not advise landowners who lease land for a tower on their property. Please contact SteelTree Partners and a member of our staff will compile the necessary data in order to complete the valuation. If you need a formal written portfolio valuation, SteelTree Partners will provide this service for a nominal fee and will gladly provide an estimate for the cost of providing a letter of opinion tailored to your specific needs.
