The City of Phoenix has issued a Request for Information regarding possible future facility development on some 40 acres of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport land.
The site in question is located between South 24th Street to the west and the existing Honeywell Facilities to the east at 1944 E. Sky Harbor Circle.
Airport officials have contemplated the construction of a number of new facilities at the site, including the building of new warehouse space for air cargo operations, as well as “non-commercial facilities” such as aircraft storage.
According to city documents, the purpose of the RFI is to “obtain information, ideas, comments and feedback from qualified developers and aviation related businesses” who may be interested in establishing new services at the big airport.
Those endeavors could include everything from general aeronautical support facilities, air cargo structures, and “any other on-airport aviation related development and aeronautical services.”
The Sky Harbor International Airport, serving roughly 22 million passengers last year, is the eighth largest airport in the country and the 24th largest in the world.
Work is currently underway on expansion of the airport’s Terminal 4; a $310 million project that is expected to be completed next summer.
The RFI has a submission deadline of December 17.
