Turner-PCL, a joint venture in association with Corgan/Gensler, will build the Midfield Satellite Concourse (MSC) North at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) following a contract award made by the Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners worth $961.3bn. The total budget for the development is nearly $1.25bn.

The seven-year, two-phase design-build project is the next significant effort in the ongoing modernisation of LAX and will add approximately 75,000sq m of space at a five-level concourse with 11 aircraft gates, 400m west of the new Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) which has transformed the DF&TR offer at LAX. The area allocated to retail at MSC has not yet been announced.

The gates will accommodate a variety of aircraft types but will include the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747-8i.  The concourse will be approximately 40m wide and 400m long.

Phase 1 of MSC covers the design work which is scheduled to be completed by late 2016 while phase 2 is for actual construction which is estimated to take three years with completion of the facility scheduled for 2020.
