The team behind the new $1.6 billion Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Terminal F expansion has been announced to include the architecture firms PGAL, Muller2, and Gensler. The three join an eight-member design-build consortium for the delivery of the sixth terminal of the nation’s second-busiest airport that will add a total of 400,000 square feet and 15 new gates with docking spaces located on either side of a rectangular concourse.

Construction will begin in June of this year. The project team says expectations are for completion no later than the second quarter of 2027. The new Terminal F coincides with a “major” redesign and expansion of Terminal C that’s set to finish in 2028, with up to 24 new gates being added to the airport facility in total.

The local NBC affiliate reported the American Airlines-led effort as being a replacement for a larger 24-gate $3.5 billion Terminal F expansion scheme that had been planned for 2025 before a pandemic-caused cancellation.

Gensler, Muller2, and PGAL have experience in airports, of which the latter’s modular 2021 five-gate expansion of Terminal C was completed for roughly a quarter ($215 million) of the price of the $855 million contract tendered for the construction of the new Terminal F Concourse and Skylink Station Project. 

The Walsh Group - Walsh Construction & Archer Western, Turner Construction Company, Phillips May Corporation, H. J. Russell & Company, and CARCON INDUSTRIES will join the design team as the Innovation Next+ consortium that was formed for its delivery.

Gensler is coming off a year in which it reported a total of $1.84 billion in global revenues and signed on to another airport project in Ohio after breaking ground on the new $9.5 billion Terminal One expansion for JFK International Airport in September of 2022.
