Leading independent communications holding company SureWest Communications (Nasdaq: SURW) today announced that it has completed the previously announced sale of its wireless towers to Global Tower Partners for an aggregate cash purchase price of $9.2 million.

"The SureWest towers acquisition affirms our commitment to being one of the leading acquirers of premier tower locations in the United States," said Marc C. Ganzi, chief executive officer, Global Tower Partners. "We are excited to close this transaction with SureWest and believe these unique locations will address the growing needs of our customers in enhancing their coverage and network quality throughout Northern California."
