Last year the city of Chicago broke ground on a new $1.3 billion concourse at O’Hare International Airport. Now, months later, we finally have an updated virtual look at the space!
Here’s what’s in store for the development.
Take a virtual tour of the new Concourse D
On Thursday, the Mayor’s office released the first official video rendering of the new state-of-the-art O’Hare Concourse D. The video illustrates its full scale, amenities, and other details.
The concourse features 19 new gates capable of holding up to two narrow aircraft at once. The additional gates will increase connectivity and enhance service throughout the airport.
Additional amenities include multiple levels of communal seating and retail, lush organic decor, ADA-accessible features, and an overhead walkway.
Concourse D is part of the ORDNext phase of the broader O’Hare 21 renovation project, which will overhaul various portions of the airport over the coming decade.
“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.”
