Conrac Solutions chairman and CEO Mark Pfeffer said: “Unlike similar projects at other major US airports, that can put airports at risk for availability payments, this financial structure was made possible by CS Capital and its equity partners, Related and Fengate, with sponsorship from the rent-a-car industry, and the foresight of the Port Authority to embrace an innovative approach.”

Debt financing for the $500m project will be provided by a consortium of banks led by MUFG, CIBC, and NBC.

The latest deal includes a design-build contract for construction with a joint venture of Austin Commercial and VRH Construction.

The structure of the project will include all design, construction, financing, operations, maintenance and lifecycle management throughout construction and the lease period for 35 years.

Groundbreaking for the project is expected to take place this month, with completion of the public parking area in 2021 and the ConRAC in 2023.
