SBA Communications is a wireless infrastructure REIT active in North, Central, and South American markets. The company has been in operation for nearly 30 years. Today it owns and operates close to 30,000 towers across the Western Hemisphere—from the upper reaches of Canada to the tips of Argentina and Chile.
Jeffrey Stoops, president and CEO, described the domestic leasing environment as “probably as good as it’s been in the last four or five years.” All four major wireless carriers are busy pursuing projects and enhancements that ultimately will advance their transition to 5G technology, he said. SBA benefits in terms of new leases and tenancies on towers where carriers may not have been before.
