About Airport Plazas
With over twenty years experience developing and operating service plazas in the New York metro area as GAZ Realty, Airport Plazas designs, constructs and operates "Airport Plazas" throughout the country at the airport to service the needs of airport employees and passengers. Our sites offer gas, CNG (Compressed Natural Gas), biodiesel, convenience store, light auto repair, towing, car wash, food court, off-site dry cleaning and at some locations Pet Motel.
Airport Plazas is company built on the primary focus of melding decades of service plaza development and operational experience with fresh ideas for the changing needs of airports. Due to the heightened security measures at all airports, terminals have become less accessible to people that are not passengers or airport employees. With the bulk of airport terminal customers spending most of their airport visit beyond screening and security checkpoints, the availability of concession services has become extremely limited.
Airport Plazas believes that airport property is one of the most misunderstood markets in real estate. Software modeling tools and rooftop counts indicate that it may not be possible to sustain a business on airport property. Airport Plazas believes just the opposite. In fact, the company believes that it is perhaps one of the best demographics and offers tremendous future growth potential.
Many of the leading airports across the country are aging and under renovation to meet the needs of the future. The priority is typically on the roadways and passenger terminals often times neglecting surrounding properties. Airport Plazas is a company dedicated solely to the redevelopment of such areas. The main focus is on building and operating multiservice plazas featuring a variety of services catering to the needs of the airport community.
Airport Plazas works with authorities across the country to redevelop either excess land or tired existing developments. These projects afford airports with fresh new facilities that typically offer the following:
- Fueling Station (gas, diesel, CNG, E85)
- Fast Food (Food Courts, Taco Bell, Chipotle)
- Convenience Store (7-Eleven, Circle K, AM/PM, etc.)
- Car Wash (dual bay full service)
- Service Bay (quick lube & light auto repair)
- Services (dry cleaning, towing, free Wi-Fi, flight information screens)
- Pet Hotel (24 hour drop off and pick-up)
The airport needs typically vary depending on the availability of unused property. Certain airports have large parcels of underutilized land while others seek to repurpose exiting land that would serve a better need. In either case, the relative airport authority enters into a long-term ground lease with Airport Plazas, who then acts as the master developer. The airport authority is then able to release itself from the responsibility of construction, operation and leasing. With Airport Plazas, the authority enjoys income derived by a combination of the MAG and a percentage above a predetermined break point.
