VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tower One Wireless Corp (CSE:TO) (OTC:TOWTF) (Frankfurt: A2AFT9 ) (the “Company”) announces that its newly incorporated subsidiary in Argentina has received leases for 5 cell tower sites and expects construction to commence shortly. Furthermore, the Company has applied for permits for 10 tower sites.
All 10 of these locations are in the densely populated and the economically important capital city of Buenos Aries. As part of the company’s strategy it has setup a real estate subsidiary company TOWER TWO SAS which will purchase and own the real estate on which its cellular towers will be built, providing a stronger asset base and additional lease revenue.

Since the inception of operations in February, it has quickly moved forward building a real estate division and laying the ground work for building its tower portfolio. We intend for Tower One to be one of the early movers in Argentina’s cellular renaissance, to benefit all our stakeholders.”
About Argentina Telecom

The government has embarked on a progressive, large-scale National Broadband Plan, which contemplates over 10,000 new cell sites over the next three years. After the election in December 2015, Argentina’s President, a former businessman, promised to bring in reforms to entice international investments in infrastructure.
