A groundbreaking was held for the first concourse of the massive expansion of O’Hare International Airport, now known as ORDNext. The ceremony was attended by local officials and comes after months of site prep work ahead of foundation work. With this, also came a new timeline for the project that differs from the last time we covered the project.
An updated timeline has been revealed for the massive expansion of O’Hare International Airport as the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) begins funding efforts. Announced back in 2018, earlier this year the city reached a resolution with airlines on a new phasing plan for construction as costs continue to balloon with inflation.
Further details and renderings have been revealed for the first phase of the O’Hare terminal expansion. The renderings and plans are for the first satellite concourse to be located just west of the existing C concourse that is connected to Terminal 1. The project is being led by the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) along with SOM, Ross Barney Architects, Arup, and JGMA working on its design.
Renderings have been revealed as part of the groundbreaking for the major renovation of Terminal 3 at O’Hare International Airport. News on the work broke over a year ago when it began collecting funding for the added space and updated aesthetic. The project is being led by the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) with an undisclosed set of designers and engineers.
A new residential development at 8535 W Higgins Road has applied for zoning approval in order to proceed towards construction. Located within a larger complex near O’Hare Airport adjacent to existing office buildings and a Marriott hotel, developer GlenStar partnered with FitzGerald Associates on the seven-story, W-shaped project.
