Plans Unveiled for Redevelopment of O'Hare's International Terminal 5

World-class transformation features luxurious retail, sophisticated dining, lavish amenities and innovative design
October 16, 2012 -- Chicago -- The Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) and Westfield Concession Management today unveiled the redevelopment plans for Terminal 5 at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, which includes a massive transformation of the terminal, 15 new dining and retail brands and new passenger amenities throughout.
"The reconfigured Terminal 5 raises the bar for airport concessions programs in Chicago and across the country," said CDA Commissioner Rosemarie S. Andolino during a celebratory unveiling inside the terminal. "The redevelopment fulfills Mayor Rahm Emanuel's vision to transform the terminal into a world-class experience for international visitors and Chicago travelers alike."
Scheduled for completion in Fall 2013, the redevelopment will feature world-class dining and retail post-security -- including many Chicago-based restaurants and brands -- cutting edge design, and a re-engineered layout that enhances the traveler experience and maximizes revenues. Previously, 95 percent of the terminal's dining and retail options were located pre-security, making it difficult for passengers to access dining and shopping while waiting for flights. The redevelopment is the first since the terminal's construction in 1993.
