American Tower was formed in 1995 as a unit of American Radio Systems and was spun off in 1998 when that company merged with CBS Corporation. American Tower was recognized by Harvard Business Review as one of the 100 best-performing companies in the world. The Boston Globe ranked American Tower #4 on its 2013 Globe 100 list, an annual list of the top companies in Massachusetts. American Tower’s tallest tower in the U.S. is a guyed tower in Alvin, Texas that stands 1,996 feet above ground level. In Salida, Colorado a self-support tower reaches the height of 12,002 feet above sea level making it the highest point in American Tower’s U.S. portfolio. California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Wisconsin have all passed legislation that streamlines collocation making the process easier than ever. At American Tower, we recycle our tower bulbs. 99% of the bulb materials can be reclaimed and reused. American Tower cares about the environment. When birds nest on our towers, our Bird Watch team monitors nest activity and site access to ensure protected birds, their active nests and our customers, contractors and employees are safe.
