The $9.5 billion New Terminal One at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport – developed, financed and built by a private consortium – will be the largest terminal at the airport when completed, with state-of-the-art technology, sustainability and capacity upgrades. Construction financing for the new terminal closed this summer, followed by the official groundbreaking in September 2022. The members of the public-private partnership overcame myriad challenges – the global pandemic, volatile air traffic forecasts, supply chain challenges and rising interest rates – to close the largest single-asset P3 project financing so far in the US.
In this episode, JFK Airport’s New Terminal One: “We Have Liftoff,” host Allan Marks (who led Milbank’s team representing the banks that are providing over $6.6 billion in construction loans) goes behind the scenes of the project financing with two of its architects: Pete Taylor, a partner at Carlyle, which led the sponsor group developing the new terminal, and Dan Seltzer, a Managing Director at MUFG Bank, Ltd., who acted as the Financial Advisor to the developers.
