Trinity River Assets has closed its first acquisition. Eleven macro towers in Michigan, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina now belong to Trinity River. We bought them for what the steel can carry.
What we bought
Five of the towers are in Michigan, two in Tennessee, two in Alabama, one in Georgia, and one in South Carolina. Eight are self-support towers, two are monopoles, and one is guyed. The structures run from 140 to 300 ft. The South Carolina site stands on land Trinity River holds in fee; the other ten stand on ground leases.
Every tower has its own page on this site with the facts a carrier or a landowner looks up first: the FCC antenna structure registration, the coordinates the FCC holds on record, the structure type, and the structure height. Most pages carry a photograph from our own site visits. The portfolio map shows all eleven.
Open for carriers
Most towers that change hands come with an anchor carrier already on the steel. These come with every mounting height open. A carrier looking at one of these sites chooses its rad-center rather than taking what is left.
Carriers and their site acquisition teams can ask about any site through the leasing desk. Tell us the site, the rad-center you need, and the loading. Our licensed engineer runs the loading against the tower's structural analysis, and you get a written answer on capacity and any modifications.
For the landowners under our towers
If one of these towers stands on your land, your ground lease carries on. It moved with the tower, and its terms moved with it. What changed is the name on the other side of the lease.
Our article on what happens to a ground lease when a tower sells walks through what transfers, what does not, and the papers a landowner may be asked to sign. Questions about a lease under one of our towers go to the land desk.
What we look for next
Eleven towers is where the portfolio starts. We buy single sites and portfolios of up to sixty sites, from owners and from brokers, anywhere in the contiguous United States. Height is a preference, not a rule, and a tower near one of these eleven fits especially well.
If you own a tower, or represent someone who does, send us the site. Every submission gets a written answer: go, watch, or pass. A go moves to engineering review, then an offer.
Structure, not speculation. That is how these eleven were bought, and it is how the next ones will be.
