Restricted assignment can force renegotiation right when you're trying to sell or deliver the project.2️⃣ Entity clean-ups. Transfers to affiliates, new ownership entities, or post-construction associations can accidentally trigger def ...

Brent Williams Derek, is there a system that allows for multiple external suppliers to run supply to the building, and then have a dedicated line to each apartment from that hub, so that each resident can have a dedicated line, but the supplier could be independently selected by the resident?

Derek Carrillo Brent Williams Yes, that setup exists. It’s usually called open-access or neutral-host fiber. The building owns the internal fiber, multiple providers connect at a shared hub, and each unit has a dedicated line. Residents can then choose their provider. The bigger issue is it has to be designed and contractually allowed from day one. Many buildings say “fiber” but don’t allow provider choice unless the agreements and infrastructure support it.

Derek Carrillo Thank for the explanation. What do contracts with providers look like at that point? Are revenue shares still common with open-access systems?

Here’s what to watch for 👇

1️⃣ It might last forever. Some easements don’t expire when the contract does. The provider keeps access to your property indefinitely.
