Chicago, Illinois · Cook County
Overview
The FCC lists structure 2700488 in Chicago, IL as a monopole. Overall height above ground is 32 m, or 106 ft.
The median monopole in Illinois is 46 m tall across 680 registrations, so this one sits 30.2% below the typical height for its type.
American Towers LLC holds the registration. Tower companies like this one lease space on their structures to multiple carriers, so the registered owner does not tell you which networks operate here.

About this record
A single tubular shaft. Cheaper to permit in built-up areas because it takes little ground space and reads as less industrial than lattice.
Record 2700488 is drawn from the FCC ASR weekly file dated 2026-08-23. The database covers structures that require registration — generally those over 200 ft or near airports — so shorter masts and small cells will not appear.
"Owner" is the entity that registered the structure, usually a tower company such as American Tower or Crown Castle. It does not indicate which carriers operate equipment on the structure.
