BLACKDOT is the recognized leader in digital infrastructure lease buyouts, acquisitions and lease management services. Over 20 years ago, the principals of BLACKDOT pioneered the first wireless lease purchase and lease optimization programs, helping landowners and tenants alike improve the value of their assets. Since then, members of BLACKDOT have helped landowners secure millions of dollars in rent guarantees, have monetized over $750 million in assets, and have reduced client operating expenses by over $10 billion dollars. BLACKDOT has built a solid reputation by fulfilling its promises and delivering results.

Marc Anthony is the CEO of BLACKDOT.  He is one of the co-founders of the digital infrastructure lease aggregation industry, along with Goldman Sachs and IDC Capital, a venture capital firm. Over the last 35+ years, Marc Anthony, through his various financial partnerships, has aggregated well over one billion dollars in wireless, digital and outdoor infrastructure throughout North America, Central America and the Caribbean.

BLACKDOT is interested in acquiring wireless assets such as cell phone towers, ground and rooftop leases and DAS systems.  We also buy fiber assets (POP’s, switches, central offices, fiber ducts, conduit, right of ways); private fiber assets (educational, municipal and HOA’s); small CLEC and broadband firms; data centers (existing and new development); billboards; and renewable energy assets.

At BLACKDOT, we specialize in empowering property owners like you with the expert guidance and partnership needed to navigate the intricate world of digital infrastructure leases and assets. We help maximize the value of your lease and assets and offer clarity and strategic insight. Our dedicated team is here to illuminate the path forward, ensuring you can make informed and confident decisions. 

Beyond consultation, we act as your strategic partner, examining the specifics of your lease and the prevailing market conditions. Our expertise ensures you grasp the full scope of your options and equips you with tailored strategies designed to secure the highest possible returns. With BLACKDOT, you gain more than insight — you achieve tangible outcomes that reflect the true potential of your property.

This is how:

• Asset Purchase Value Maximization: We aim to achieve the highest possible value for your lease or other assets, focusing on delivering the utmost returns responsibly. Our approach is grounded in ethical standards and cultivating enduring partnerships that enhance value over time.
• Data-Driven Analysis:  We leverage our deep industry knowledge and proprietary tools to conduct a comprehensive analysis of your lease and the market. This allows us to understand the true worth of your assets and provide you with accurate, data-backed advice.
• Streamlined Process: We handle the complexities of digital infrastructure buyouts, including negotiations, contract management, and compliance. Our streamlined process is designed to make the lease purchase transaction as simple and efficient as possible.

If you can give us basic lease information when you call us (e.g., rent, escalator, term), our professional will be able to give you a non-binding quote over the phone.  Once you send us the necessary documentation (lease documents, rent verification, etc.) so that we can verify the terms and economics from which the quote was derived, we will finalize the quote and send you a Letter of Intent. 

For the most part, all the finance companies and aggregators have the same cost of capital.  You may receive a higher quote from another company that will then re-trade you at closing.  At BLACKDOT, we work hard to ensure you receive top dollar for your deal.   

BLACKDOT aims to close and fund transactions within 45 to 90 days from receipt of an executed Letter of Intent.  We have, however, closed transactions in as little as 30 days.  Timing will depend on a variety of factors, including how quickly we receive the due diligence documentation from the seller and our vendors, whether a loan is secured by the underlying property and whether the telecom carrier has a right of first refusal or consent rights. 

We will attach a checklist to the Letter of Intent specifying the items we need for our due diligence.  These include complete copies of the Lease Agreements and any amendments, at least 3 months of rent checks (12 months is preferred), a current title report if available and information concerning any loans secured by the property. Depending on the structure of the deal, there may be additional documents we will request.

You will need to consult your tax advisor.  BLACKDOT is not qualified to provide tax advice.  However, we are familiar with the like-kind exchange process and have assisted sellers in achieving their Section 1031 goals. 

At BLACKDOT, our name is our promise. Derived from an ancient Eastern philosophy, the teachings of the black dot value a disciplined awareness of the key objective. The “black dot focus” ensures the effectiveness of the end result. Visualize a black dot on a white background.  This is symbolic of expanded awareness and at the same time, a razor-sharp focus on the objective. The challenge is to maintain attention on the black dot, without compromising awareness of factors and situations that could adversely hinder success.  Our first objective is to identify the relevant black dot for each client. By executing focused solutions, we can achieve the highest returns and the best results for landowners.
