An infrastructure platform for the converged era.

Retrospx builds, owns, and operates the physical layer beneath the digital economy — towers, data centers, IoT networks, and the interconnection assets that bind them. We exist because the infrastructure the next decade requires is materially different from what the last one inherited.

Company Overview

Retrospx is a rapidly scaling, operator-led infrastructure platform headquartered in Houston.

Founded in 2019 and now approaching 100 towers across its portfolio, Retrospx develops long-duration physical assets in the categories where structural demand is compounding fastest — wireless, compute, edge connectivity, and the digital bridges that tie them together.

Our work takes the form of 180-foot monopole development, carrier colocation, data center site selection and delivery, municipal IoT enablement, and the fiber and edge interconnection assets that turn isolated infrastructure into a coordinated system. We do not chase announcements. We build what carriers, cities, and enterprises can commercially use the day it comes online.

Retrospx is privately held, operator-controlled, and deliberately engineered for the multi-decade horizon that defines serious infrastructure.

Mission

Develop the physical infrastructure the next decade of connectivity, compute, and commerce depends on — and do it faster and better than the legacy players.

Vision

A world in which cities, carriers, hyperscalers, utilities, and enterprises all draw from one seamless, institutionally-operated infrastructure backbone.

Why Retrospx Exists

Legacy infrastructure was built for legacy demand. The economy has changed.

Three structural shifts have simultaneously broken the old infrastructure playbook — and created the opening Retrospx was built to capture.

Demand has outpaced delivery.

Hyperscaler capex has doubled in two years. Carrier 5G densification is still ramping. AI has pulled power and compute demand forward by a decade. The supply of qualified developers did not keep pace.

Assets are converging.

A tower is now also a potential edge site. A data center is now also a carrier anchor. A city IoT rollout now depends on both. Operating in a single silo leaves economics on the table. We don't.

Execution is the new moat.

Permitting, land, utility coordination, and construction sequencing are now what differentiate winners from stalled project lists. Retrospx was built around the execution layer, not the deck.

How We Operate

Five principles that govern how Retrospx develops, owns, and runs the platform.

01   Build to Own.

Our portfolio is designed for multi-decade ownership. Every site, every data center pad, every fiber run is underwritten for the cash flow it will compound over fifteen years — not the deck it looks good on today.

02   Execute Locally, Operate Nationally.

Permitting is a local sport. Power is a local sport. But the customer — the carrier, the hyperscaler, the utility — operates nationally. Our operating model respects both ends of that equation.

03   Underwrite the Physics First.

Power, land, interconnection, wind load, thermal envelope, fiber path. If the physical reality of a site doesn't work, no amount of structuring fixes it. We start with the physics.

04   Partner Where It Compounds.

Carriers. Municipalities. Utilities. Landowners. Capital partners. We structure relationships to last — because in infrastructure, the renewal is where the economics live.

05   Institutional Standards, Operator Speed.

The discipline and documentation of an institutional owner. The velocity and direct decision-making of a founder-led operator. The combination is rare in this sector — and it's why we get to projects first.

Strategic Growth Narrative

The portfolio is compounding on three vectors at once.

Retrospx's growth does not rest on any single thesis. It rests on the reality that the demand curves under towers, data centers, IoT, and interconnection all bend upward simultaneously — and that the best infrastructure companies of the next decade will be the ones positioned at the intersection.

Our first vector is organic tower development. Monopole builds in underserved or newly densifying submarkets, paired with carrier MLAs and colocation economics that compound from tenant two onward. This is the patient, real-estate-like core of the portfolio.

Our second vector is selective acquisition. Private developer portfolios, distressed sites with fixable entitlement issues, and carrier divestitures where our operating team can extract value the seller could not. The 2023 acquisition that brought Retrospx to nearly 60 towers is the template.

Our third vector is adjacent infrastructure: data center site positioning, municipal IoT engagements, and interconnection assets that sit naturally next to the tower footprint. Each compounds the value of the underlying portfolio and creates additional revenue surfaces for the same land, the same relationships, and the same operating team.

The three vectors do not compete for capital. They reinforce each other. That is the strategic design.

Leadership

Operators who've built businesses from the ground up — in infrastructure and adjacent to it.

Retrospx's leadership team pairs decades of commercial operating experience with deep permitting, development, and real estate fluency. The result is a company that moves like a founder-led business and documents like an institutional one.

Frank Rajab
Co-Founder · Head of Development & Entitlement

Frank Rajab leads Retrospx's development, permitting, and jurisdictional strategy — the function that, more than any other, determines whether infrastructure projects reach the grid on schedule. His career has been built on navigating the layered, often adversarial interaction between physical development and public-sector process.

Frank brings extensive experience in licensing and permitting across multiple U.S. regions, with a working fluency in the zoning frameworks, environmental review procedures, utility coordination protocols, and public-notice requirements that govern tower and data center development. He has personally guided projects through the full arc of entitlement — from site control and zoning application through public hearings, design review, utility interconnection, and final certificate of occupancy — across jurisdictions ranging from rural counties to dense urban cores.

That operational depth is paired with something less common in the infrastructure sector: direct, hands-on experience building and scaling modern ecommerce operations. Frank spent years leading the development of commercial digital systems — inventory, fulfillment, customer operations, and the integrated technology stacks that sit behind them — before turning that operating discipline toward physical infrastructure. The result is a leader who understands both the slow, document-heavy reality of entitlement and the fast, data-driven logic of the commercial systems infrastructure ultimately serves.

At Retrospx, Frank translates that cross-domain fluency into a development organization that is unusually effective at moving projects through the gates where most stall: jurisdictional uncertainty, utility coordination delays, and the operational handoff between entitlement and construction. His work is the reason Retrospx's pipeline converts.

Fred A.
Co-Founder · Head of Strategy & Capital

Fred A. is the strategic and capital architect of Retrospx. His career spans more than two decades of operating-company building across ecommerce, real estate, international commercial operations, and — for the last several years — physical infrastructure. He has taken multiple companies through eight-figure exits, developed and held substantial positions in land and vertical real estate, and built the kind of ecosystem-level operator playbook that translates directly to the demands of modern infrastructure development.

Before Retrospx, Fred built and exited a series of ecommerce platforms operating across the United States and international markets. Those businesses spanned direct-to-consumer brands, cross-border logistics networks, and the call center and customer operations infrastructure that supported them — giving him a deep working understanding of what it takes to stand up, scale, and professionalize a multi-entity operating platform from zero. The pattern he established in ecommerce — identify a structural demand shift, build operating infrastructure faster than the incumbents, and own the long-duration cash flow — is the pattern Retrospx now runs in physical infrastructure.

In parallel, Fred developed an active real estate practice spanning land assembly, entitlement, and vertical development. That work has included the siting, permitting, and development of data center positions and cell tower sites, as well as broader commercial and mixed-use development — experience that makes Retrospx's four-vertical strategy a natural extension of work he has already been doing for years, rather than a pivot into unfamiliar terrain.

Fred's role at Retrospx is to set the strategic direction of the platform, structure its capital relationships, and ensure that every business unit — towers, data centers, IoT, digital bridges — is underwritten to the same long-horizon standard. His operating philosophy is simple: build real assets that throw off real cash for a real long time. That philosophy is what Retrospx is built on.
