About Crown Castle
Real Estate Investment Trusts, SIC 6798
Crown Castle owns, operates, and leases shared communications infrastructure, primarily consisting of wireless towers and rooftop structures. The company leases access, space, and capacity on its structures through long-term tenant contracts, while also offering ancillary pre-construction site development services such as engineering, zoning, and permitting. Following the classified sale of its fiber solutions and small cell businesses, the firm operates as a real estate investment trust focused on its single operating segment of tower operations. Its core customers are national wireless carriers, with T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless accounting for the vast majority of its site rental revenue.
Virtually all of the company's operating assets are located across the United States, alongside additional operations in Puerto Rico. The business portfolio contains more than 40,000 towers nationwide, with a significant operational presence across the 100 largest U.S. basic trading areas. Its workforce comprises roughly 4,000 U.S.-based employees, including staff assigned to discontinued operations. The text does not state a headquarters location.
