The company will provide HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire and other technical services at the terminal after overseeing the construction-to-operations transition phase of the project.
The New Terminal One at JFK International Airport has selected JLL to deliver facility maintenance services to the terminal, scheduled to open in phases from 2026.
The terminal project, which is part of a $19 billion renovation of JFK Airport in New York City, will include construction of two terminals, the modernization and expansion of two existing terminals, a new ground transportation network and simplified roadways, according to an announcement released Wednesday.
The $9.5 billion New Terminal One is being built on sites occupied by JFK’s Terminal 1 and the former Terminals 2 and 3, where it will anchor the international airport’s south side, according to information provided by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. When fully completed in 2030, it will be the largest terminal at JFK, with 23 gates and more than 300,000 square feet of retail, dining and lounge space over 2.6 million square feet, enclosed by floor-to-ceiling windows.
JLL’s aviation group will be responsible for maintaining HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire, life safety and other technical services at the terminal. The real estate and facility company’s work will also cover operational readiness and transition, or ORAT, and start-up support beginning next year to oversee activation of the new terminal.
