Texas Airport To Receive New Private Hangar Complex

Aviation real estate developer Western LLC has broken ground on a corporate hangar project at San Antonio International Airport. The development, which consists of seven hangars with 28-foot-high doors, ranging in size from 12,000 sq ft to more than 15,000 sq ft, along with 25,000 sq ft of attached offices, is being constructed on a nearly nine-acre lot, formerly occupied by Hawker Beechcraft.

Western is designing, building, and financing the complex, which will then be leased to corporate flight departments. According to the company, only one 15,400-sq-ft unit remains available.

“This $25 million, multi-hangar development initiative is the largest single private/corporate capital project in San Antonio International Airport’s history,” noted Russ Handy, the city’s aviation director. “Partnerships like this are not just good news for the [airport] but for all of San Antonio, as the economic impact will be substantial for the entire region.”
