In my opinion, there are few good reasons for building new.

Christ, I could build a pretty badass shelter for $50k.

  The listing says the HVAC units have been replaced.  So at least they are not 
23 years old :-)

  New those shelters are $40k-$50k I think

    Probably about the same.  But built in 2021 versus 1998.  Just think about 
supporting those 23 year old HVAC systems and paying that bill every month.  
Now think about spending an extra $2500 for modern ones.

    Dual HVAC + 200a electric, could you really build that cheaper?

    A tower shelter bolted to a concrete pad is exactly what many companies 
use.  There really isn't any difference between that and a structure built on 
site to the same spec.  Usually they are prefab concrete.

    These are the design criteria Fiberbond builds to for instance -

    We need to upgrade a roadside FTTH cabinet to a small building. I've
    never started from scratch before. It will house maybe 2 racks of
    equipment. I'm thinking 10x15 or 10x20 footprint. I know a used tower
    shelter is an option but I'm leaning towards a real building, maybe
    concrete for tornado resistance.

    Probably two small Mini Splits for cooling. Power, I'm not sure,
    probably dual 48v system although we may have some 120 equipment.
    Propane backup generator or course. Probably needs some propane heat
    also for winter in Michigan but maybe I could just run the right mini
    split and some electric heat for super cold days.

    Interested in any other ideas and what stuff do I need to consider
    that's not even on my radar.

    Thanks,
    Chris
