Site Acquisition Services

From the development of new sites and networks to the expansion or upgrades of existing sites, Prince Lobel Telecom has the experience to help you meet your goals.  We work with you to accurately forecast milestones and to meet or exceed those goals.

Our project managers have been involved with the successful identification, leasing, and permitting of thousands of sites in all types of environments.  This experience gives us the knowledge to identify potential impediments and the creativity to design solutions.

Site Identification

The foundation for success starts here.  Just finding any site is not enough.  You need a company that knows local permitting requirements and has the experience to find the right site.  Prince Lobel Telecom works diligently to identify sites that closely meet your design criteria and that can be acquired and successfully permitted within the prescribed time parameters.

Site Acquisition/Leasing

Once the right site is identified, Prince Lobel Telecom has the right real estate team in place to negotiate the rights to the property.  Prince Lobel Telecom works to understand your requirements, and, in conjunction with the lawyers at Prince, Lobel, Glovsky & Tye LLP, has the experience and creativity to negotiate the appropriate lease terms.

Permitting/Zoning

Knowledge and understanding are key components to successfully shepherding a site through the zoning and permitting process.  We manage all aspects of the zoning and permitting process.  It starts by performing a thorough zoning analysis during site identification.  From there, we work with you every step of the way to develop a comprehensive plan to get through the process quickly and to maximize the opportunity for success.  Working closely with the lawyers of Prince Lobel, we have obtained permits in most jurisdictions in New England.

Construction Management

Our construction management team can handle all aspects of the construction process to get your site on-air, on time, and within budget from start to finish.  We have experience with all types of installations for a variety of wireless telecommunications providers.  Whether it is an installation on a building, within a steeple, a co-location on a tower or water tank, or a new tower site, we can help. 

From initial design, qualifying subcontractors, and bid walks to coordinating utilities, ordering and monitoring construction materials, and on-site construction management, our construction managers can handle the details.
