What We Do
Owning and operating towers is our core business. We have the financial resources, specialized knowledge, and people in place to fully manage and service towers and ensure compliance with environmental, safety, and jurisdictional regulations.
We offer tower acquisition transactions that are fast and efficient. With creative and customized deal structures, our successful track record speaks for itself. We’ll work closely with you to make sure the entire process is smooth from start to finish.
If you’re not ready to sell, we can discuss other opportunities, such as tower marketing and management, joint ventures, and other arrangements. With these opportunities, you can stay focused on your business priorities, while generating revenue from your towers.
Why Sell Your Towers?
The Time is Right
With the rollout of 5G technology, there is more demand than ever for cell towers. It’s a great time to sell, as towers are a valued asset class.
Immediate Capital Puts You in Control
A large payout allows you to invest the cash proceeds and positions you for growth over the next 10, 20, or 30 years. It can also enable you to start or expand your business, pay off debt, or buy a second home.
Minimize Risk
As mobile network operators continue to evolve their wireless strategies, there is always the risk of lease cancellations and tower decommissioning. Pass this risk onto us and secure your payout now.
Defer and Minimize Tax Liability
Even though your transaction will likely qualify as a capital gain, you may be able to defer the liability with a 1031 exchange. Always consult your Certified Public Accountant (CPA) for qualified tax advice.
