The retailer has appointed two local firms to oversee the construction and design of the new Airmall at Cleveland Hopkins International airport

BAA USA has appointed two local companies to design and build the new Airmall at Cleveland Hopkins International airport after winning the contract to manage the development earlier this year. Westlake Reed Leskosky will act as the chief architectural/engineering firm while Ozanne Construction will serve as the construction manager for the project. The first will prepare the master plan for retail spaces and create design guidelines for the retail tenants, in addition to designing new retail areas at concourses A, B and D. Meanwhile, Ozanne Construction will be responsible for building the new retail spaces and food courts at the airport.

BAA USA president Mark Knight said: “This announcement marks another important step forward in the creation of the Airmall at Cleveland Hopkins International airport, which will become the gold standard of airport retail concessions once it is completed. BAA has exacting standards in terms of quality, design and construction for its retail development projects. In cooperation with the city of Cleveland, BAA is confident that both Ozanne Construction and Westlake Reed Leskosky are the right strategic partners to help us visualise and ultimately complete the transformation of retail concessions at Hopkins.”
