5G LLC Expands ‘High Tech’ Rooftop Portfolio With Brookwood Financial Partners

Properties in mature, in-fill submarkets surrounding 24-hour gateway cities and in select secondary Central Business Districts

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--5G LLC is excited to announce an exclusive multi-year marketing agreement with Brookwood Financial Partners, LLC, (“Brookwood”) a vertically integrated, private equity investment firm that specializes in acquiring and managing well-located, value-add commercial real estate properties and real estate-related operating businesses. The agreement will facilitate the potential installation of 5G cell sites on the rooftops of Brookwood’s locations. Through the agreement with 5G LLC, Brookwood seeks to bolster the value of its portfolio by turning the dead space on its rooftops into revenue. 5G LLC sees Brookwood as an incredible fit for placing 5G equipment on-site, bringing significant property revenue without capital expenditure. The 5G solution could result in generating significant incremental rent rolls, building meaningful capped value without encumbering the buildings while providing a cutting-edge amenity to Brookwood tenants and communities.

Tom Brown, President of Brookwood and Director of Acquisitions, said they are partnering with 5G LLC “to enhance the NOI of AUM through the sourcing of wireless rooftop income.”

“5G LLC has developed a Tech Enabled Marketplace adding liquidity to the deployment equation. We've paired data to create visibility and value-added intelligence to the selection process for wireless carriers. 5G LLC is pleased to deliver this solution for Brookwood’s portfolio of properties, improving their tenant experience and creating the cornerstone of a tech rich environment,” said Matt Davis, Chief Executive Officer, 5G LLC.

5G LLC’s “rooftops” allow carriers to quickly deploy and expand the newest technology to meet the dramatic increase in demand of required cell sites. The rooftop opportunity now exists because the physics of 5G requires a five-fold increase in cell site density and allows for lower cell antenna heights, making commercial real estate an ideal "cell tower" site. In addition, 5G presents the opportunity to ensure the availability of an amenity that is rapidly becoming an absolute necessity for commercial tenants. 5G promises more connected devices, faster speeds and highly resilient service levels driving new business sectors like connected vehicles, healthcare, gadgets, and public transportation. 5G LLC’s executive carrier and high-tech relationships provide Brookwood with the potential to become an immediate on-ramp to the carrier’s national deployments.
