Wireless Infrastructure

Site acquisition, lease optimization, and deployment support
for wireless networks.

Catalyst’s teams have supported the acquisition and zoning of more than 35,000 wireless sites nationwide. Our work helps wireless carriers, tower companies, and infrastructure developers secure new sites, upgrade existing facilities, and optimize their lease portfolios.

Site Acquisition & Leasing

From candidate identification and evaluation through lease execution, Catalyst provides real estate services for new towers, rooftop installations, collocations, and modifications to existing sites. Services include property owner identification, negotiation of options, leases, and amendments, and review of access, equipment space, and property rights.

Lease Renewals & Optimization

Catalyst has negotiated more than $200 million in savings over the life of client leases, helping reduce operating expenses across wireless portfolios. Targeted renewals and amendments improve rent and escalation terms, extend lease terms, strengthen operating rights, and secure flexibility for future equipment upgrades.

Zoning, Permitting & Municipal Coordination

Successful deployments require a clear understanding of local zoning and permitting requirements. Catalyst evaluates approval pathways, coordinates with municipal staff, and prepares and tracks applications for macro sites, site modifications, small cells, and distributed
antenna systems (DAS), including right of way permits where required.

Deployment Program Support

Coordinated real estate and permitting activities help keep deployment programs moving. Working with engineering and deployment teams, Catalyst tracks lease and approval milestones across sites and markets, identifies outstanding issues, and helps resolve obstacles that could affect project schedules.
