ST. LOUIS — Site work has begun for construction of an aircraft assembly building that is a part of The Boeing Co’s. $1.8 billion expansion project at its north St. Louis County operations.
Earth movers in recent days have been rumbling across the 106-acre site bounded by Interstate 170, Airport Road and James S. McDonnell Boulevard. Boeing (NYSE: BA) said site work began in the first quarter this year and estimates completion of the assembly building in 2026.
Building permits granted last December to the joint venture of Paric Corp./Barton Malow state the work to be performed as “site grading” and “footing and foundation of the Assembly Building." A notice from St. Louis Lambert International Airport says Boeing has approval for construction of an assembly building.
