In case you missed it, last week, BOWA Construction, WFS, Realterm, and the Chicago Department of Aviation celebrated the successful completion of the Northeast Cargo Campus at O'Hare International Airport. While in the new facility, Mayor Johnson took a moment to acknowledge the momentous occasion and celebrate this project's significant milestone as being the first facility of this size to be built by an African-American-owned general contractor. Chicago Department of Aviation Commissioner Jamie Rhee shared her pride in BOWA's historic achievement.

The event's highlight was the remarks from BOWA CEO and President Nosa Ehimwenman. Nosa mentioned the project's challenges and how his team stepped up to drive the completion of the facility: " The scale and complexity of this facility challenged us to push our boundaries, innovate, and work intentionally with the diverse partners we chose for this project."

The third and final phase of the Northeast Cargo campus, developed by Realterm, opened for cargo operations last year, with some final punch list items completed this year. The project added 130,000 square feet and two aircraft parking positions to the cargo area. The Phase III ramp can accommodate up to a dozen jumbo freighters daily and process more than 100,000 metric tons of cargo annually. The building's roof also features more than 2,500 solar panels that generate an estimated 1.25 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. The first two phases were completed in 2016 and 2017.

Phase III of the Realterm Northeast Cargo campus project achieved a participation rate of 55% for minority- and women-owned businesses, with more than $23 million of the project's $43 million cost spent with diverse firms. The project created 340 full-time construction jobs and another 180 full-time permanent jobs at the completed facility.

BOWA intentionally selected their project partners, seeking minority and women-owned subcontractors from Chicago. "This was not just a significant feat for our organization but for all the other project partners; we are grateful for their commitment in getting us to the finish line," says Tim Scholten, SVP of BOWA Construction.
