Topping-off milestone for Concourse B at Jacksonville International Airport About 17 months after the ceremonial groundbreaking for Concourse B at Jacksonville International Airport, the $344 million project has a completed framework. Construction on the six-gate, three-level structure began in July 2024. The 186,733-square-foot project is at 2400 Yankee Clipper Drive in North Jacksonville. The Jacksonville Aviation Authority and construction manager Balfour Beatty Construction LLC of Orlando celebrated the milestone with a topping-out ceremony Oct. 24.

It is expected to be completed by the end of 2026, along with a new 2,000-space parking garage. Dining in the concourse will include Cantina Louie Mexican Street Food, Chick-fil-A, Panda Express, V Pizza and Willie Jewell’s Old School Bar-B-Q. “In all of the places I go and after all of the speeches I give, the No. 1 ask is ‘When are we getting a Chick-fil-A?’ They aren’t asking about flights to Mexico or Des Moines,” Jacksonville Aviation Authority CEO Mark VanLoh said at the Nov. 19 JAA board meeting. “So it’s coming.”
