Turner Construction has reached a new height in its $260 million expansion C Concourse in Seattle-Tacoma International airport.
The New York City-based contractor completed the steel on the 226,000-square-foot structure, completing the vertical construction, according to a Dec. 20 news release.
The six-story renovation project will add four levels to the existing building to provide improvements for passengers. The upper floors will introduce expanded dining and retail options, additional seating and a 1,300-square-foot extension to the passenger waiting area, the contractor said in its release.
Major features include a rooftop photovoltaic array, a meditation room, an infirmary and two airfield observation decks.
Initially targeted for LEED Silver certification, the project is on track to achieve LEED Gold, Turner said, due to its innovative integration of energy-efficient systems and sustainable elements.
“This project exemplifies how we can build essential infrastructure that benefits both travelers and the environment,” Bill Ketcham, Turner vice president and general manager, said in the statement.
The project is expected to be substantially completed in 2026.
