Colocation

At our core, we deliver colocation solutions with speed, precision, and a personal touch. We provide a human, one-on-one experience, ensuring every carrier receives friendly, responsive service instead of relying on impersonal web portals. Our solution-focused approach means that when challenges arise, we don’t just report problems — we actively collaborate with engineers to identify practical fixes, helping carriers keep their projects on track.

Process
Carefully tailored tower underwriting process that considers competition and market dynamics, as well as likelihood of lease-up prior to building tower to maximize future tenancy.
Compelling Asset Characteristics
Highly attractive portfolio of newly constructed macro towers with an average life of less than 4 years on average.
Quality Builds
State-of-the art infrastructure engineered to support over 4x tenancy, driving substantial pipeline lease-up.

Mid Cell Solutions

We offer elegant and technologically advanced, evolvable solutions that bring value not only for wireless network operators, but for cities, municipalities and their citizens, bridging the digital divide throughout the U.S.

We are leading the way with public-private-partnerships that solve deployment issues in ways that advance ubiquitous connectivity where we live and work. Our solutions are important not only for historically sensitive areas but also for capacity driven objectives in densely populated municipalities.

We write Design Guidelines that help cities protect the esthetic environment and control development.
We design infrastructure that seamlessly integrates into their surroundings – our designs look like they belong.
We deploy infrastructure to help municipalities enforce and make the most of the collocation abilities afforded by modern technology.
We deploy networks to maximize uptake and ensure equitable distribution of broadband connectivity.

Acquisitions

In addition to new tower development, we are actively expanding our portfolio of assets through complementary accretive acquisitions as well. We work with owners of bespoke portfolios of tower sites throughout the country. Deploying our robust balance sheet, we ensure a speedy process and provide the execution bandwidth to close transactions in the most expeditious manner possible.

In combination with CBRE IM we have access to dedicated funds to finance asset purchases from our existing resources, including CBRE IM’s commingled infrastructure fund and separate managed accounts.
We look to be flexible and collaborative in developing a mutually beneficial structure. It is our preference to seek the simplest structure to drive an expedited closing process and straightforward ongoing relationship with sellers. 
We are committed to working efficiently through our diligence and have evaluated numerous M&A opportunities in our decades in the tower sector. 
Our extensive experience dealing with complex lease structures, difficult zoning and rights-of-way environments, notably our extensive work with the railroads, allows us to be creative in overall deal structuring.
