In partnership with American Airlines, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW) Airports and Holt Construction, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) has begun construction on the transformation of the commercial redevelopment program at John F. Kennedy (JFK) International Airport’s Terminal 8.
The US$125m commercial redevelopment program by JFK T8 Innovation Partners – a joint venture led by URW and equity partner Phoenix Infrastructure Group, a minority-owned business enterprise (MBE)-certified investment firm – is expected to transform the customer experience at the terminal with a complete redesign and expansion of the concessions program. This will include new dining, retail, duty-free shopping, performance space and digitally enabled experiences for customers of American and its partner airlines. The commercial redevelopment follows the US$400m expansion of Terminal 8. Completed in November 2022, the expansion and modernization of Terminal 8 is a component of the port authority’s US$19bn redevelopment of JFK.
