The Hensel Phelps-led project, which has almost doubled in price since its inception, is slated to open in 2028.

Tampa International Airport has revealed new renderings for the $1.5 billion Airside D, a new terminal with 16 gates, according to a June 5 news release.

The roughly 600,000-square-foot aerodrome project is being led by Greeley, Colorado-based contractor Hensel Phelps and Kansas City, Missouri-based architecture and engineering firm HNTB, alongside San Francisco-based Gensler. It will be TPA’s first new airside in almost 20 years, according to the project’s website. 

The airport and construction team broke ground on Airside D in December 2024, and has been prepping the site for major construction by removing concrete, installing fencing and establishing contractor offices, among other enabling work, according to the release.
