American Triple I and its consortium partners in JFK Millennium Partners (JMP) have announced financial close of the US$4.2 billion deal to develop new international Terminal 6 anchoring JFK International Airport’s north side. JMP is a private company composed of Vantage Airport Group, American Triple I, RXR, and JetBlue.

Approved in August 2021 by the Port Authority Board of Commissioners, the new Terminal 6 development will feature a 1.2 million square foot terminal, 10 new gates, and bright and airy check-in halls and arrival spaces designed to enhance the customer experience. Customers will enjoy more than 100,000 square feet of dining and shopping, airline lounges, and recreational spaces. Custom art works and the latest advances in sustainability and security will also figure prominently in the new terminal complex. JMP will develop the new international terminal in two phases, with the first gates opening in 2026 and project completion expected in 2028.
