$1.1-Bil DFW Airport Terminal Project Marks Milestone

DALLAS-A witching hour implosion is set for Sept. 16 of the 554-room Hyatt Hotel West at the Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport. Time to clear the decks for the $1.1-billion terminal that will be mortared with 100,000 sf of multi-level retail space.

DALLAS-The countdown is on for a witching hour implosion of the 554-room Hyatt Hotel West at Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport. The Sept. 16 razing marks the first major milestone in the construction of a $1.08-billion international terminal, connecting 300-room Grand Hyatt and 100,000 sf of retail space.

Much ado has been made of two million-sf International Terminal D, the first new one since 1976 and part of a $2.6-billion capital improvement program at the nation’s third busiest facility. To date, 1,000 piers have been sunk and all excavation of the 29-acre site is complete.

Terminal D promises to be the “crown jewel” to the 18,000-acre airport, with cornerstones of 100,000 sf of retail space in an innovative “concession village” design. Much akin to the pedestrian-friendly town centers now dotting Texas, the villages are designed to be destination points rather than usual central court fare, Clay Paslay, executive vice president of airport development, tells GlobeSt.com. Live entertainment stages, children’s play areas and business service venues are being viewed with the same retail potential as eateries, beverage and newsstand tenants. “We’re looking for an exciting and dynamic place for visitors,” says Paslay, who estimates the first lease signings are a year out.
