LaGuardia Opens New
14 LGA TERMINALS
Concourse in Terminal B
BY JODI RICHARDS
In early December, LaGuardia Airport (LGA) opened the
first 11 gates of its new Eastern Concourse in Terminal
B. By the middle of this year, the concourse will have 18
gates in operation.
When the Western Concourse is completed, Terminal B will
include a total of 35 gates and feature dual pedestrian bridges
that span active taxi lanes and connect the main departures
and arrivals hall (known as the headhouse) with the two island
concourses. In all, there is 1.3 million square feet of new space.
The larger project also includes a central hall, central heating
and refrigeration plant, parking garage, associated airside
development, roadway/bridge infrastructure serving the entire
airport and utility upgrades.
The Terminal B expansion and renovation program is part of
an aggressive $4 billion effort to replace LGA’s outdated and
undersized Central Terminal Building. It is also the preliminary
stage of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s $8
billion initiative designed to transform LGA into a “unified 21st
century terminal system.” When the overall program is complete,
the airport will include 2.7 million square feet of facilities, with 72
gates throughout six concourses, two new arrival/departure halls
connected by a Central Hall, and miles of new roadways.
LaGuardia Gateway Partners is responsible for the design,
construction, operation and maintenance of the new Terminal
B facilities under a public-private partnership with the Port
Authority. LaGuardia Gateway Partners is a private equity
comprised of Vantage Airport Group, Skanska USA, Meridiam
and JLC Infrastructure for development and equity investment;
Skanska-Walsh as the design-build joint venture; WSP and
HOK for design; and Vantage Airport Group for terminal
operations. LaGuardia Gateway Partners took over operation
and management of the terminal on June 1, 2016, with a lease
agreement that lasts until December 30, 2050.
New Facilities & Amenities
Constructed in 1964, Terminal B was originally designed to
accommodate 8 million passengers per year. At its current load
of 15 million, the facility was not only undersized, but in need of
security and amenity upgrades as well.
Stewart Steeves, chief executive officer of LaGuardia Gateway
Partners, explains that the Port Authority wants to redevelop
LGA into a “world-class facility—to bring in the best passenger
amenities and services, latest technologies and capacity for the
traveling public, both today and into the future.”
