A joint venture led by Turner Construction and Flatiron Constructors has been tapped to build San Diego International Airport’s new $2.265-billion terminal.
The 1.2 million-sq-ft, 30-gate project will replace the airport’s existing Terminal 1, which opened in 1967 with a capacity of 2.5 million passengers, a figure that has more than quadrupled over the past half-century. Pending receipt of federal and state environmental permits, plans call for construction to begin in late 2021. To maintain the airport’s existing operational capacity, the new terminal’s first 19-gate phase will be completed in 2025, with an additional 11 gates to be opened two years later.
