Turner Construction has reached a new altitude on its $260 million expansion of C Concourse at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
The New York City-based contractor topped out the steel on the 226,000-square-foot structure, completing vertical construction, according to a Dec. 20 news release.
The six-story renovation project will add four levels to the existing building to provide enhancements 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.
Key features include a rooftop photovoltaic array, a meditation room, a nursing room and two airfield observation decks.
Initially targeting 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 construct essential infrastructure that benefits both travelers and the environment,” said Bill Ketcham, vice president and general manager at Turner, in the release.
The project is scheduled for substantial completion in 2026.
