Day 1 - 14 March
Session: Airport Design, Planning & Development

16:25 - 17:35 - Panel Discussion: New York's LaGuardia Airport Redevelopment Programme
Synopsis: LaGuardia Airport has been the focus of redevelopment for many years. In 2015 the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey selected LaGuardia Gateway Partners (LGP) as preferred bidder for the Terminal B redevelopment. The project delivery strategy is structured as a public/private partnership, pairing developers, financiers, builders, architects and engineers with the public sector. The mission is to redefine the LaGuardia Airport experience and deliver a world-class airport. This session will present the project, discuss the internal P3 team dynamic, and address the importance of collaboration and teaming with the public sector.

Audience will learn:

• The importance/benefits of this type of redevelopment
• Innovative P3 approaches
• Redevelopment on very constrained sites
• The importance of building the right team
• Collaboration as a key to success
