Communications Tower Group

What Communications Tower Group does

Communications Tower Group (CTG), founded in 2015 and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a privately held developer, owner, and manager of wireless telecommunications infrastructure assets operating in the Southeast, Central, and Texas regions of the United States. The company develops and operates cell towers, rooftop installations, retail center and storage facility sites, and Distributed Antenna System (DAS) in-building wireless coverage infrastructure, serving as a regional build-to-suit and colocation landlord for major wireless carriers.

CTG's core service portfolio comprises four lines: (1) Build-to-Suit custom cell tower development initiated against an anchor tenant lease, where the company commits to construction without delaying for additional colocation commitments; (2) Colocation, where carriers lease antenna space on existing CTG-owned towers via a streamlined online application process; (3) Property Management, providing recurring tower and In-Building site management, maintenance coordination, and operational support for owned and managed sites; and (4) DAS in-building wireless coverage solutions. Revenue mechanics are primarily recurring subscription-style lease and managed services income from carrier customers, supplemented by build-to-suit construction revenue tied to new site commissions.

The company sells through an enterprise field sales motion, engaging directly with major wireless carriers (with Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile logos and named relationships on the corporate website) and supporting the sales process with a contact-form-driven website, a downloadable colocation application portal, LinkedIn advertising, and bilingual (English/Spanish) community outreach. Management emphasizes a 30+ year industry-experience team across site acquisition, permitting, and construction, and positions its operational discipline — building on anchor-tenant commitments without delay — as its primary commercial differentiator versus larger tower operators.
