These sites are generally way overpriced for conversions into data centers, even niche high-security types. The key problem I ran into when I looked into it when the Long Lines sites first started getting parceled out way back was access to the Internet backbone. Only a very few were anywhere close to where the backbone was, or was planned to be in the next 10 years, and those were snapped up very early. They also are unfortunately too small to warehouse equipment if you wanted to hold spares for a Carrington Event-grade solar flare (I would be surprised if they were rated for that level of EM disturbance anyways). Also, I found out a typical term of sale was you promise to dismantle the tower at your own cost, or pay an eye-bleeding amount for tower remediation. I don't see very economic re-purposing possibilities even today when more are within fiber rollouts. With their current price points, no business plan built around one of these I've tried has ever penciled out sustainably. Has anyone else tried to run the numbers and come up similar results (you don't have to share the plan, just that some business purpose pencils out)? I don't see a lot of businesses buying them, and I'm guessing the majority of purchasers of these sites are private individuals with either deep pockets or a mania for industrial-grade and -scale home improvement.
