Skanska reaches financial close on LaGuardia project in New York, USA, worth USD 2.8 billion, about SEK 23 billion


Skanska has, as a member of LaGuardia Gateway Partners, reached financial close
and executed a lease agreement with the Port Authority of New York and New
Jersey (PANYNJ). The Public Private Partnership (PPP) includes finance, design,
construction, operation and maintenance of the LaGuardia Airport Central
Terminal B in New York City, USA, with a lease term through 2050. The agreement
also includes construction work for supporting infrastructure and a new central
entrance hall.
The contract is the biggest ever for Skanska. The value of the design/build
contract amounts to a total of USD 4 billion, about SEK 33 billion. Skanska has
a 70 percent share of the contract, worth about USD 2.8 billion, about SEK 23
billion. The amount will be equally divided between Skanska USA Building and
Skanska USA Civil and included in the order bookings for the second quarter
2016.

The project will be financed using equity, debt, PANYNJ milestone payments,
retail- and airline revenues. As a 33.3 percent shareholder of LaGuardia Gateway
Partners, Skanska’s equity investment will be about USD 70M, about SEK 580M.

“This is Skanska’s largest project ever. We are proud to invest in and lead
construction of this project that will improve the quality of air travel for
millions of people. The LaGuardia Airport Central Terminal B project is a
perfect example of how we, through Public Private Partnership, can expedite
delivery of critical infrastructure, bringing together Skanska’s construction
and investment capabilities. We have a strong position in the growing US market
for PPP projects,” says Johan Karlström, CEO and President of Skanska.

Construction of permanent works will begin immediately, with most of the new
terminal opening in 2020 and substantial completion during 2022.

Opened in 1964, Terminal B today serves more than 14 million passengers
annually. The new LaGuardia Central Terminal B will be built adjacent to the
existing terminal, while flight operations continue without interruption. The
new design, expected to achieve LEED Silver Certification (Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design), exemplifies New York through two sweeping concourses
that provide views of Manhattan and enable increased airline circulation.

LaGuardia Gateway Partners is comprised of Skanska Infrastructure Development,
Vantage Airport Group and Meridiam as project sponsors and co-investors, with
Vantage Airport Group managing operations. Skanska and Walsh form the design
build joint venture, with HOK and WSP Parsons Brinkerhoff advising on the
design.
