City of Chicago Unveils Video for O’Hare’s Concourse D
The City of Chicago has unveiled a video animation that previews the transformative new gateway just south of Concourse C.
Designed by the Chicago-based firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, in collaboration with Ross Barney Architects, Juan Gabrel Moreno Architects, and Arup, the new Concourse D will introduce 19 new flexible gates.
“O’Hare has long been one of Chicago’s great economic engines, and The New Concourse D represents the next great transformation for our city,” said Mayor Brandon Johnson. “This new gateway will strengthen global connections, create thousands of jobs, and showcase Chicago’s architectural excellence to travelers from around the world.”
The $1.3 billion Concourse D project broke ground in 2025 and represents a major milestone in ORDNext, which is anchored by The New Concourse D, The New Concourse E, and the O’Hare Global Terminal, all connected by an underground tunnel system. The New Concourse D remains scheduled for completion in late 2028.
