Municipal Communications

What Municipal Communications does

Municipal Communications, LLC is a privately held, Atlanta-based (600 Galleria Parkway, Suite 850) wireless communications infrastructure provider founded in 2010 by Peter Corry. The company develops, owns, and operates cellular towers across the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and New England regions of the United States, with a portfolio covering multiple tower form factors: monopole (106-197 ft), monopine/stealth-camouflaged tree towers (106-170 ft), guyed towers (280-400 ft), and lattice/self-supporting towers. Its core go-to-market is a build-to-suit model under which wireless carriers such as AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Dish Wireless, and SouthernLINC assign specific tower projects; Municipal handles site acquisition, zoning approvals, design, construction, and ongoing ownership. Towers are typically leased to multiple carriers under long-term colocation arrangements, with revenue generated through both recurring ground/rooftop lease payments and project-based development fees.

Beyond the four national carriers, the company serves federal and state government clients (U.S. Army installations including Fort Benning and Joint Base Langley-Eustis, the State of North Dakota public-safety network) and public-private property owners (county governments, school systems such as Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, churches, private landowners) who monetize land for tower sites. Stealth and monopine designs, landscape integration, and a community-friendly development approach are repeatedly emphasized as competitive differentiators that reduce zoning friction in residential and historic contexts. The company is backed by Seaport Capital (three disclosed partnership rounds to date, including 2021) and previously sold a portfolio of towers to SBA Communications in 2015 to recycle capital into new development. Operationally, Municipal is lean (11-50 employees) and runs an enterprise field-sales motion anchored in direct carrier relationships, RFP responses, and inbound applications from property owners through its website.
