Realterm Completes Construction on O’Hare Cargo Campus
Realterm has completed the construction of O’Hare International Airport’s Northeast Cargo campus, which will improve the airport’s cargo capacity as a global shipping hub.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson joined the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) and other partners, including BOWA Construction, at a ribbon-cutting event to celebrate the milestone. “These new cargo facilities support Chicago’s role in bringing essential goods from across the globe into the United States and shipping them to all corners of the nation, all while creating job opportunities for local communities,” said Johnson.
The third and final phase of the Northeast Cargo campus, developed by Realterm, opened for cargo operations last year. The project added an additional 130,000 square feet and two aircraft parking positions to the existing cargo area.
“Air cargo is a significant economic engine for O’Hare and our great city,” said Tim Scholten, senior vice president of BOWA Construction. “To experience the Northeast Air Cargo facility in full operational mode is such a proud moment for the BOWA team and all our construction partners.”
