Grande Towers acquires parts of Altice USA’s wireless tower assets
Grande Towers (GTC), an independent wireless infrastructure provider, has agreed to acquire certain Altice USA tower assets.
The two companies expect the deal to be completed early in the third quarter of 2025.
This acquisition is all about scale. By purchasing Altice’s tower assets, GTC said it will “significantly” expand GTC's national footprint, increasing its portfolio to over 200 towers across key U.S. markets.
The deal further strengthens the company's position as a critical enabler of next-generation wireless networks, supporting carriers in meeting growing demand for 5G and broadband connectivity.
Grande Towers will work closely with Altice throughout the transition to ensure continued operational excellence and network reliability for existing tenants.
While this acquisition is new, GTC has extensive experience working on similar deals, meaning current customers on these towers will not be impacted.
“GTC's team has extensive expertise working with towers previously owned by cable television operators, such that customer deployments will be quick and not disruptive to customers,” said Tony Peduto, CEO of Grande Towers.
