The project, set for completion in 2026, spans six stories and over 226,000 square feet, adding four additional levels to the existing building and offering an elevated flyer experience. Key project highlights include a meditation room, a rooftop photovoltaic array, a nursing room, and two airfield observation decks. The new floors will also expand the airport’s dining and retail options, add additional seating, and provide 1,300 sq ft of extra waiting area for passengers. 

Bill Ketcham, Vice President and General Manager at Turner Construction Company, states, “We are proud to celebrate the topping out of this transformative project at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. This milestone reflects the dedication of our team and partners, including our collaboration with the Port of Seattle, and underscores our shared commitment to sustainability. This project exemplifies how we can construct essential infrastructure that benefits both travelers and the environment.”

This is the first project at Sea-Tac to include the Port of Seattle’s Sustainable Evaluation Framework. The project also adheres to the Port Century Agenda’s sustainability goals. The construction project is set to achieve LEED Gold status, which reflects its innovative integration of energy-conscious systems and eco-friendly elements. LEED is a globally recognized scoring system for the sustainability of buildings by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

Key features

Designed with NYCFC fans in mind, the stadium’s architecture prioritizes creating an exceptional game-day experience. Spectator seating will offer optimal sightlines, allowing fans to feel close to the action, while acoustics are engineered to amplify the crowd’s energy. The project’s architects and engineers have worked closely with supporters to incorporate community input, ensuring the stadium reflects the passion of its dedicated fan base. This collaboration extends beyond design and into the spirit of the venue, aiming to make it a cultural hub for soccer in the city.

Sustainability and inclusivity are core features of Etihad Park. The stadium will employ energy-efficient systems and environmentally friendly materials to minimize its ecological footprint. Accessibility is also a key focus, with the design featuring accommodations for fans with disabilities, ensuring that every visitor has a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The commitment to sustainability aligns with New York City’s broader goals of reducing carbon emissions and embracing green building practices.

In addition to its design and environmental features, the project promises significant economic benefits for the local community. Turner Construction is partnering with local unions to create thousands of jobs during the building phase, while ongoing operations will generate long-term employment opportunities. The inclusion of affordable housing and public amenities as part of the Willets Point redevelopment will also provide lasting value to the Queens community.

When completed in 2027, Etihad Park will serve as the operational heart of NYCFC and a key driver in transforming Willets Point into a dynamic destination for residents and visitors. The stadium is poised to become an architectural landmark in New York City, blending cutting-edge design with community-centered development.

It’s a bold step forward for both NYCFC and the city itself, bringing together fans, residents, and businesses to create a shared space that embodies the passion of soccer and the vibrancy of New York.

The project, located near the SPRINTER rail line and City Hall, spans over 600,000 square feet and consists of four interconnected buildings. It will feature 330 residential units, approximately 20,000 square feet of retail space, and 13,000 square feet of office space. Community-focused amenities include a public plaza, parking facilities, and pedestrian-friendly pathways. By combining retail, office, and residential spaces in one development, the 222 North project aims to create a vibrant, walkable environment for locals.  

Turner Construction worked closely with developers Sea Breeze Properties and designers at Architects Orange to bring this project to life. The construction process emphasized energy-efficient design and sustainable materials to reduce the project’s environmental impact. With the structural framework now complete, the team will focus on interior finishes, landscaping, and infrastructure details as the project heads toward completion.  

A unique feature of 222 North is its commitment to seamlessly integrating public and private spaces. The development’s centerpiece is a community plaza that will serve as a hub for events, gatherings, and everyday socializing. Retail tenants, including restaurants and specialty shops, are expected to energize the space further by attracting foot traffic and creating a lively atmosphere.  

This mixed-use project represents a significant investment in San Marcos’s downtown core, supporting economic growth and revitalizing the area. During construction, 222 North created hundreds of jobs and is expected to sustain long-term economic activity once operational.  

Turner Construction’s reputation for efficiently handling large-scale projects played a key role in meeting the structural milestone on time. The topping-out event, held on the project’s site, brought together the project’s stakeholders, construction teams, and local leaders to celebrate this achievement. As one of the largest recent developments in San Marcos, 222 North is anticipated to set a new standard for mixed-use construction in the region.

The project includes two and a half levels, featuring modernized collaborative spaces and cutting-edge training amenities for players and staff.  Designed with a “player-first” mindset, the new headquarters will integrate all essential training spaces—weight room, indoor practice facility, and walkthrough areas—into the main building, providing a seamless player experience. The first floor is specifically designed to optimize player movement, from the locker room to meeting rooms and sports performance areas, with an additional 21,000 square feet of player space. Football operations will be housed on the second floor of the new facility, while the third floor will be dedicated to business operations.

Upon completion, more than 70 employees from Empower Field at Mile High will relocate to the new headquarters, centralizing the team’s operations under one roof. The Broncos’ President Damani Leech emphasized that the project aligns with the organization’s goals, saying, “This facility will set a new standard, not just in football, but in the sports industry overall.” Construction is expected to maintain the team’s operational activities, including hosting fans at training camps throughout the building process​.

This expansion marks a significant investment by the Walton-Penner Family Ownership Group, demonstrating their commitment to improving the team’s performance and the overall fan experience. Broncos Owner & CEO Greg Penner stated, “Our vision is to create a new home for the Denver Broncos that reflects our values of winning and teamwork with a modern Colorado design,”

Denver partnered with global design and architecture firm HOK and the interdisciplinary Rockwell Group to create the blueprint for the new facility, ensuring it meets the team’s advanced operational and performance needs. 

The facility is expected to be completed by the 2026 NFL season. Once finished, the Broncos will have a unified, world-class hub that promotes player performance, supports team operations, and creates a more engaging experience for fans during training camp. This investment signals a long-term vision for the organization.
