# Case Study: Successful Build-to-Suit Sale Leaseback for TD&I Cable Maintenance

 Sep 22, 2025

Ascension Advisory recently facilitated a strategic build-to-suit sale leaseback for TD&I Cable Maintenance, a leading telecommunications contractor based in Hudson, Wisconsin. The transaction involved the development of a new, approximately 41,000-square-foot facility that is purpose-built to meet TD&I’s operational needs and then acquired by an investor, with TD&I leasing it back under a long-term agreement.

## **Client Objective**

TD&I Cable Maintenance, founded in 1987, has grown into a trusted telecommunications services provider across the Midwest, specializing in fiber optic networks and structured cabling systems. With more than 500 field employees and a strong reputation for reliability and safety, the company needed a modern, customized facility to support growth. At the same time, the leadership team wanted to preserve capital for expansion initiatives, improve liquidity, and focus on core business activities rather than tying up resources in real estate ownership.

## **Solution**

Our team at Ascension Advisory structured a build-to-suit sale leaseback arrangement that provides the company with a new state-of-the-art facility without requiring TD&I to deploy significant upfront capital. We worked with the company to define operational requirements for the property, engaged investors with appetite for specialized industrial assets, and secured favorable lease terms that ensured long-term occupancy and stability.

Throughout the process, we coordinated planning, negotiations, and due diligence, aligning the interests of the company, investors, and TD&I’s leadership team to bring the project from concept to completion smoothly and efficiently.

## **Outcome**

The build-to-suit sale leaseback provided TD&I Cable Maintenance with a custom facility tailored to its operational needs. The transaction enhanced balance sheet flexibility and positioned the company to pursue new opportunities in the competitive telecommunications sector.

By combining new development with a leaseback structure, TD&I was able to expand its footprint strategically, strengthen its market position, and continue its legacy as a trusted partner in building and maintaining critical telecommunications infrastructure.
