Miami Dade’s Aviation Department is moving forward with the construction of Concourse K, as part of an expansion of the South Terminal.
A public notice was issued this week requesting design-build services. Miami Today first reported on the notice.
The new building will have three levels that match the finish of the existing South Terminal.
It is planned to accommodate three wide-body aircraft at a time, or six narrow body aircraft. It will also have remote hard stands for three more wide-body or five narrow-body aircraft.
Larger lounge spaces are also planned as part of the expansion. The lounges are currently in big demand, Miami-Dade’s aviation director told Global Miami.
Total value of the design-build package is listed at $621m.
