St. Louis-based McCarthy Building Cos. recently began construction of the $326 million concourse in Terminal 3 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Arizona, the construction firm announced on April 7.
The new concourse will add approximately 173,000 square feet of space and six new passenger gates, according to the news release, to bring the total to 26 gates. The terminal handles approximately 25% of the airport’s passenger traffic annually.
The multi-level design includes a passenger level with gate hold rooms, public restrooms and spaces for future retail or tenant build-outs, per the release. An upper mezzanine level will provide a lounge, back-of-house areas and an exterior terrace, while the apron level will contain aircraft service and essential support spaces.
The new elevated connector bridge will link the North 2 Concourse to the existing Terminal 3 processor, and the design also includes provisions for a future tunnel connection to Terminal 4’s North Concourse, according to McCarthy.
Crews are expected to begin demolishing the Annex Building and enabling work this month, per the release.
