Horizon Tower, LLC is a San Francisco Bay Area based Tower and Infrastructure Development Company that is primarily focused on developing new tower infrastructure in the western region of the United States.   Horizon Tower is backed by Duff, Ackerman & Goodrich, (“DAG”), a San Francisco based Private Equity firm that has substantial experience in the wireless telecommunications industry.

DAG was formed in 1991 with a deliberate investment focus on the wireless telecom arena and more particular emphasis on communications services, related infrastructure, media and the specialty manufacturing industries.  In 1996, DAG along with two other private equity firms developed and launched Triton Cellular and Triton PCS, which are AT*T (Cingular) affiliates in the Virginia, N. Carolina, and S. Carolina markets.  Triton PCS went public in November 1999.

The core DAG investment team has worked together on communications investments since the mid-1980's and with an aggregate 50+ years of private equity investment experience across several business cycles, DAG has the capability to execute and deliver on its agenda.  DAG currently has in excess of $500 million under management.  

In late 2003, DAG formed Horizon Tower, LLC a Delaware limited liability company with the sole purpose of acquiring and developing wireless telecom towers in the western United States.  The company is spearheaded by John Kapulica and currently owns and operates fifty (50) tower (Cingular) sites in California, Arizona, Nevada, Montana & New Mexico and is deploying an additional thirty (30) tower sites over the next twelve months.
