Getting Started on Your Project

If you're a tenant at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport who wants to modify or expand your facilities, contact the Port right away. Your plans may affect your lease agreement. More importantly, if we work together from the beginning, we can help you be more efficient in getting your project completed.

To discuss whether your project will affect your lease, contact the Airport Properties Director at (206) 248-7113.

Next Step: Concept Approval

Once lease issues are resolved, you'll need a "concept approval" from Operations or Business Development. A concept document may range from a loose statement of scope to a completely illustrated design.

The department you'll work through depends on the location of your facility within airport property, as follows:

Tenant Location	Line of Business (LOB)	Phone
Airline, air cargo and aviation services in terminal and jet ways	Operations - Terminal	(206) 431-4049
Tarmac and runways	Operations - Airfied	(206) 439-6626
Ground transportation services	Operations - Landside	(206) 431-4916
Terminal Concessions	Business Development	(206) 835-5777

Once you have concept approval from the appropriate department, you can submit a Project Application to begin the Port design review process.

Design Phase

As you refine your design, you will work with a Port Project Manager to ensure compliance with Port standards and state and local building codes.
