**City of Chicago Unveils Details on O’Hare’s Concourse D**
The City of Chicago has released a new video animation previewing a transformative development at O’Hare International Airport: Concourse D, located just south of Concourse C.
The project has been designed by the renowned Chicago-based architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, in collaboration with Ross Barney Architects, Juan Gabriel Moreno Architects, and Arup. The state-of-the-art concourse will add 19 new flexible gates, enhancing the airport’s capacity and improving the travel experience for millions of passengers.
“O’Hare has long been one of Chicago’s great economic engines, and the New Concourse D represents the next great transformation for our city,” said Mayor Brandon Johnson. “This new gateway will strengthen global connections, create thousands of jobs, and showcase Chicago’s architectural excellence to travelers from around the world.”
Construction on the $1.3 billion Concourse D project began in 2025. The project marks a significant milestone in the ORDNext modernization program, which includes Concourse D, the future Concourse E, and the O’Hare Global Terminal. All elements of the program will be connected through an advanced underground tunnel system. Completion of Concourse D is expected by late 2028.
In related news, Connect CRE is now accepting nominations for its annual awards recognizing Commercial Real Estate’s leading investment sales and leasing brokers. This is the ninth consecutive year the publication will spotlight top performers in the industry.
Stay tuned for more updates on the transformation of O’Hare and other major infrastructure projects shaping the future of Chicago.
