Salt Lake City Airport redevelopment program
The Salt Lake City Department of Airport’s new Salt Lake City Airport Redevelopment program is the first major hub airport replacement built in the 21st Century. The new airport will accommodate 26 million passengers annually and replaces the existing airport with two new linear concourses. The Holder-Big-D, joint venture is the CMAR for the construction of all new rental car facilities, the Central Terminal, the South Concourse (47 gates), the 3,600-car parking garage, new roadways, tunnels, underground utilities, jet fueling system, airfield paving, and the central utility plant. The Terminal, first phase of the South Concourse, and the parking garage opens for passengers in September 2020.

Coming in 2023-24: Phase 2 of The New SLC
The Airport is building Phase 2 of The New SLC with more shops and restaurants to enjoy and more gates to more destinations.
Phase 2 includes the build out of Concourse A to the east with 22 gates and construction of the Central Tunnel to connect A and B Concourses. The Central Tunnel will include an art installation called “The River Tunnel.” In addition, Phase 2 will include the main entry point from the tunnel to Concourse B, which will be a mini-plaza complete with large-scale art installations such as The Canyon 2.0, Northern Light and placement of the World Map.

The New Gold Standard
of Airports
Sustainable: The new building will be designed to high environmental standards. Designers are aiming for a LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. A “Roadmap to Net Zero” is in development, which gives designers a plan for how the facility can ultimately generate as much power as it uses.
Designed to Accommodate Up to 26 Million Passengers Each Year

Today, the airport serves more than 26 million passengers annually in facilities that were originally built more than 50 years ago.
