Six proposals have come in for the Phoenix Sky Harbor Northwest General Aviation Redevelopment, a project that would redevelop 40 acres worth of property and buildings that are approaching the end of their useful lives.
Responses were submitted by Aerocheck, Aeroterm, Amazon, Atlantic Aviation, Cutter Aviation and Hillwood.
Aerocheck’s plan calls for using 10 acres for repair hangars and maintenance.
Aeroterm would construct two cargo buildings, truck docks and apron space for planes on 33 acres and leave seven acres for future development.
Amazon’s plan calls for using 13 acres to support its existing airport operations, including building an on-site cargo facility.
Atlantic Aviation would use 80% of the site for hangars, a fuel farm and parking.
Cutter Aviation has proposed developing the 40 acres in a three-phase project that would provide hangars and 21KSF of office space.
Hillwood’s plan builds hangars in a planned first phase and a cargo facility in a second phase.
City staff will evaluate the submissions and compile recommendations for the Aviation Advisory Board. Board members have requested that staff consider the various projects’ impacts to the airport as a whole, rather than just as standalone developments. (Source)
