Port of Seattle breaks ground on Seattle-Tacoma Airport north satellite modernisation project

Port of Seattle announced (03-Feb-2017) the start of construction on the north satellite modernisation project to expand and renovate the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport terminal. The USD550 million expansion and renovation of the north satellite will include adding eight new gates with a 240ft extension of the building to the west, adding an upper level mezzanine, more than doubling the existing dining and retail square footage and introducing a rooftop Alaska Airlines lounge. The phase one expansion is scheduled to be open in 2019 followed by the renovation of the current facility to be open in 2021. Once the first phase is complete, the second phase will renovate and upgrade the eastern portion of the building. [more - original PR] [more - original PR II]
