'Greenfield' Site No Piece of Cake for JFK's New $1.4-Billion Terminal

摘要

As it turns out, the developer-operator for the nearly 1.5-million-sq-ft JFK International Air Terminal bit off more than it could chew. Slashing the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's schedule from 72 to 54 months may have garnered JFK/IAT the job, but the compressed timetable has expanded by six months and the terminal opening pushed from December to May 8. Now 60% complete, only time will tell whether the building will be ready to open by its new "beneficial date of occupancy."
