Recent developments include the award of a major contract for modernization at Memphis International Airport. A joint venture led by Turner Construction, alongside Ardmore-Roderick and local firm Chris Woods Construction, secured the $700 million project to update the main terminal, enhance seismic resilience, expand parking, and improve amenities.1
Hospital Campus Advances
Design work is underway for Regional One Health’s nearly $1-billion hospital campus. The project, approved earlier this year, will consolidate seven buildings into more than 600,000 square feet of space with 315 beds and two helipads. Memphis Healthcare Builders, a joint venture including Turner Construction, Flintco, Nickson General Contractors, and Fifer & Associates, is delivering the work. Demolition at the site is ongoing.2
“Partnership is at the heart of this project,” said Blake Tyler, business manager at Turner Construction.
Local contractors are participating in both initiatives through joint ventures. Early phases of the airport work, such as Concourse A demolition, began last month, with additional construction on a new administration building slated to start this fall.
Next Steps
The airport modernization is expected to conclude by 2030. Hospital construction could begin next year and finish in 2030.
