Construction Update

New construction managers led by COO Will Whitesell onboarded at the Company are on track to deliver on our revised plan for existing construction sites and ramp up development at recently executed ground leases. Parallel initiatives are underway to reduce costs while shortening development and construction timelines at new projects.

Leasing Update

Sky Harbour’s first three campus phases (SGR, BNA and OPF 1) are approximately 95% occupied. Total potential economic occupancy is expected to exceed 100% due to successes in semi-private leasing.

Our campus at SJC commenced operations on April 1, 2024, and is approximately 58% leased. SJC tenant rents are reflective of Sky Harbour’s tier-1 target markets, with revenues from certain initial tenants exceeding $80 per rentable square foot.

“Sky Harbour continues to execute its 2024 business plan on pace. Our Site Acquisition team’s focus is tier-1 airports.
