Overview
Unison Infrastructure buys long-term ground leases under essential assets like cell towers, renewable energy sites, and fiber infrastructure, then pays leaseholders a lump sum for the future value of their leases. It underwrites and acquires the underlying leases, often using specialized legal structures, and pools many small buys into a large, diversified portfolio to spread risk and provide immediate liquidity. The company differentiates itself with a clear focus on ground-lease monetization across wireless, renewables, and telecom infrastructure, its track record of sizable lease buyouts, the Ardian partnership that helps scale in Europe and renewables, and tailored solutions for enterprise partners. Its goal is to convert long-term lease rights into capital, grow a broad asset portfolio, expand geographically and into renewables, and deliver steady value for clients and investors.
