Bradley International Airport tomorrow will break ground on a $210 million ground transportation center.
The new facility will place all rental car companies at the airport, eliminating the need for shuttle service from the airport to the rental agencies off-site locations. It will include 830 parking spaces for rental cars.
“The Connecticut Airport Authority is embarking on a major transformation at Bradley International Airport with the groundbreaking for its new Ground Transportation Center,” a statement from the Connecticut Airport Authority (CAA), which oversees Bradley, said.
In addition to centralizing rental car facilities, the CAA said, the new transportation center will add public parking spaces and incorporate public transit options.
CAA officials expect the new facility will open in 2022.
Meanwhile, a private equity real estate investment firm announced it acquired two companies that own parking lots adjacent to Bradley.
Chicago-based Green Courte Partners LLC said it bought Roncari Valet Parking and Galaxy Self Park, both of which are used by Bradley passengers. The two lots will be combined as a single entity.
“Roncari and Galaxy will be combined and rebranded as The Parking Spot, Green Courte’s near-airport parking platform, by the end of 2019,” the statement said. “With this new location, The Parking Spot portfolio expands to 39 facilities nationally at 23 airports.”
