Crown Castle - Slowdown in new site builds?

Hey everyone, been at CC for a few years now, and lately, it feels like the pipeline for new site builds has really slowed to a crawl. Usually, we'd have a few new projects kicking off every month, but it feels like it's been months since a significant new build was greenlit. Anyone else in deployments, construction, or engineering seeing this? Is it a budget thing, a strategic shift, or just seasonal ebb and flow? Trying to get a sense of what's going on internally. Feels a bit… uncertain lately.

I've noticed a similar trend on the ground. The usual rhythm of new site development seems disrupted. We're seeing fewer initial proposals and a longer lead time for approvals on the ones that do surface. It's definitely creating some chatter about resource allocation and future growth projections. My gut feeling leans towards a strategic re-evaluation of capital expenditure, possibly prioritizing existing infrastructure upgrades or specific market segments over broad expansion. Hopefully, clarity comes soon, as it impacts team planning and morale.

From my perspective in site acquisition, the slowdown is palpable. It's not just new builds; even lease renewals for existing sites are facing more scrutiny. There's a distinct shift towards maximizing the value of our current footprint before aggressively pursuing new locations. It could be a response to macroeconomic pressures, or perhaps the company is focusing on integrating recently acquired assets. We're all trying to read the tea leaves, but it's certainly a different pace than a year or two ago. Let's hope it's a temporary adjustment.
