ARX Wireless Sells Tower Portfolio in Strategic Exit
Event summary
- ARX Wireless sold a portfolio of 30 wireless communications towers across 11 U.S. states, including 13 operational and 17 in development.
- The transaction involved major carriers AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile as existing tenants on the operational towers.
- Approximately 70% of the sites are located in the Northeastern region.
- ARX Wireless is a portfolio company of Crosstimbers Capital Group.
The big picture
This sale reflects ongoing consolidation in wireless infrastructure as private equity-backed players exit to established operators. The focus on Northeastern markets highlights zoning constraints and carrier demand in urban areas. ARX's built-to-suit model suggests targeted development where traditional tower sites are scarce.
