Item 2. Properties
Towers
We own, lease or manage approximately 40,000 towers geographically dispersed throughout the U.S. Towers are vertical metal structures generally ranging in height from 50 to 300 feet. Our tenants' wireless equipment may be placed on towers, building rooftops and other structures. Our towers are located on tracts of land that support the towers, equipment shelters and, where applicable, guy-wires to stabilize the tower.
See the following for further information regarding our towers:
-
"Item 1. Business—Overview" for information regarding our tower and fiber portfolios and the pending sale of the Fiber Business.
-
"Item 7. MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Material Cash Requirements" for information regarding our lease obligations.
-
"Schedule III - Schedule of Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation" for further information on our productive properties.
Approximately 55% of our towers are leased or subleased or operated and managed under master leases, subleases, or other agreements with AT&T and T-Mobile (including those which T-Mobile assumed in its merger with Sprint). We have the option to purchase these towers at the end of their respective lease terms. We have no obligation to exercise such purchase options. See note 5 to our consolidated financial statements and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" for a further discussion.
Substantially all of our towers can accommodate additional tenancy, either as currently constructed or with appropriate modifications. Additionally, if so inclined as a result of a request for a tenant addition, we could generally replace an existing tower with another tower, subject to certain restrictions.
Discontinued Operations
As of December 31, 2025, the Company owned or leased certain properties previously used in its Fiber segment, which has been classified as a discontinued operation. These properties consist of approximately 90,000 route miles of fiber primarily supporting our (1) approximately 105,000 small cell nodes either currently generating revenue or under contract and (2) fiber solutions. The majority of our fiber assets are located in major metropolitan areas, including a presence in most major U.S. markets.
As a result of the Strategic Fiber Transaction, these properties are classified as discontinued operations and are not utilized in the Company's continuing operations. See "Item 1. Business", "Item 7. MD&A—General Overview", and note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Strategic Fiber Transaction.
Offices
Following the closure of the Strategic Fiber Transaction, which we expect to occur in the first half of 2026, we anticipate having four offices, including our principal corporate headquarters located in Houston, Texas. We believe that our facilities are suitable and adequate to meet our anticipated needs. See "Item 1. Business—Overview" for further discussion of the pending sale of the Fiber Business, which includes the sale of certain of our office buildings.
