The wireless industry is growing rapidly and T-Mobile’s real estate needs are growing just as fast.

Preferred Site Characteristics:
Stores should be within or near regional/super-regional, big boxanchored shopping centers/malls, or dense central business/shopping districts serving minimum populations of 40,000.

Preferred Space/Size Characteristics:
Prominent end cap and outparcel locations that range from 1,000 to 2,400 Square Feet.

Traffic Counts: Between 25,000 – 50,000 cars per day

Parking: Abundant, non-exclusive, shared parking for the benefit of all shopping center tenants.

Access: Full ingress and egress.

Signage: Maximum allowable by local code, including, but not limited to, multiple elevations as well as pylon/monument panel representation.

If you are a commercial broker, shopping center developer or retail property manager simply submit a site for consideration and a T-Mobile representative will contact you.

T-Mobile continually develops its networks in order to meet growing customer demand, provide service improvements through technology innovation, and comply with federal requirements for emergency services and Enhanced 9-1-1. As T-Mobile identifies the need to add a wireless facility, the company engages in a complex process to find a solution that will serve the community’s needs:

Step 1: Needs Analysis
To determine the need for a new site T-Mobile's radio engineers regularly conduct thorough, scientific and topographical analysis of our network and look at the number of customer complaints we have received for each area. This may include identifying the wireless traffic at individual cell sites, considering the number of dropped and blocked calls, and gathering customer input via surveys and direct feedback.

Step 2: Identify Feasible Locations
When T-Mobile identifies an area where a new facility is required, a team of real estate specialists and engineers visits the area to determine where it is technically feasible to locate a site. Potential sites are examined and evaluated on the basis of how well they address the needs of the network, such as filling in coverage and capacity gaps, as well as leasing, zoning, land use, and construction requirements.

Step 3: Property Leasing
If your property is selected, a site acquisition representative will approach you to discuss the leasing of your property. As part of this process, an architectural engineer will visit your property to conduct a survey.

Step 4: Permitting
Local zoning and building codes guide where facilities may be constructed, what type of site can be proposed, and what it looks like. Often additional site and construction experts participate in this step to ensure code and permit compliance. We work proactively and cooperatively with all pertinent governing bodies to secure the local, state, and federal approvals needed.

Step 5: Site Construction
Once all the necessary permits have been acquired, T-Mobile constructs the facility. During this process, a T-Mobile construction project manager will be available to answer any questions you may have.

Our goal is developing long-term partnerships that benefit landlords, T-Mobile, and the community. Together we can help you and your community stick together with those that matter most.

Although very few potential individual sites meet our evaluation criteria and become telecommunications sites, you may submit your site to our engineering team for consideration.
