George Casey, chair and CEO of Vantage, said: “We have been glad to partner with Skanska on this ambitious project to successfully develop a new world-class Terminal B at LaGuardia.
“This transformative undertaking, one of the largest of its kind in U.S. transportation history, has benefited from Skanska’s 134-plus years of development and construction expertise.”
The $5.1bn terminal was completed in July 2022 by the LGP consortium including Skanska, Meridiam and Vantage as well as JLC Infrastructure in partnership with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
As a result of the Skanska sale, Meridiam will own almost half of LGP, reaching a 48% stake in the company which remains responsible for investment, development and operation of the reconstructed 35-gate terminal.
