A new 22,000-square-foot hangar is planned for the Waukesha County Airport (Crites Field).
The hangar will be constructed at 2781 Aviation Drive, located on the western-most end of the road on its north side. Along with room for a large aircraft, the hangar will include a conference room, three restrooms, a boiler room and an open area, according to city documents.
The hangar will have a peak of 42 feet and a hangar door on the east side of the building. The development will also feature a small parking lot with nine spaces.
Oconomowoc-based Oliver Construction is the engineering and design firm for the project.
No tenants have been announced for the hangar and no representatives from the airport or Oliver Construction were immediately available for comment.
In September of 2024, Milwaukee-based private jet co-ownership and charter company Jet OUT announced plans to build a 22,000-square-foot private terminal on the property just east of the new hangar’s site. The project is entering the final stages of its build-out with interior finishes set to start in the next couple of weeks. The hangar is on schedule to start housing aircraft this summer, according to Matt Wild, chief operating officer at Jet OUT.
Jet OUT is not involved in the new hangar project. The building, however, will connect to the taxiway that connects to the ramp on the west side of Jet OUT's building, Wild said.
