Item 2         Other Events

               SBA Communications Corporation reported that in the fourth
               quarter it increased its tower portfolio by 207 towers, or 22%,
               to 1,163 total towers. The number of towers added was a record
               for the company, its third successive quarterly record for towers
               added. SBA acquired 57 towers in nine separate transactions at an
               aggregate price of $16.6 million, representing a 16.7 times
               multiple of current tower cash flow. Based on tenant leases
               executed as of December 31, 1999, same tower revenue growth for
               the full year on the 494 towers SBA owned as of December 31, 1998
               was 33%.

               At December 31, 1999, SBA was involved in projects for over 1,000
               new tower builds throughout the nation, consisting of
               approximately 335 build-to-suit mandates from wireless carriers
               and over 700 sites SBA is developing through its strategic siting
               efforts. At year end, SBA had agreements to acquire 94 additional
               existing towers in 23 separate transactions for an aggregate
               purchase price of $39.2 million, representing a 16.7 times
               multiple of current tower cash flow. These acquisitions are
               anticipated to close within the next six months.

               SBA is a leading independent owner and operator of wireless
               communications infrastructure in the United States. SBA's primary
               focus is the construction of new towers and acquisition of
               existing towers for its own account. Since it was founded in
               1989, SBA has participated in the development of over 13,000
               antenna sites in the United States.
