The opening of a $1 million three-hangar general aviation complex at the Colorado Springs Airport signals a growing market for facilities that house privately-owned fixed-wing turbine, turbo-prop and jet-engine aircraft. The facility is one of three hangar construction projects currently slated for completion in 2006 and 2007.

JHW Enterprises President Dick Janitell said his project was initiated in response to increasing demand a shortage of hangars for private planes and jets. “We already had the new hangars 100 percent pre-leased when construction began — and we’ve still got a waiting list,” he said.
The firm and its sister company, Pikes Peak Aviation, are the Colorado Springs Airport’s oldest and largest tenants, with 28 acres under lease. The companies also have a fixed-base operation which supplies jet fuel and gas, along with a complete maintenance and avionics shop.


The hangars include a number of upgraded features, such as increased insulation, special electric bi-fold doors and low-maintenance floor finishes. Each lessor pays a monthly hangar rental as well as the cost of utilities, including water and electricity to serve offices and restrooms.
Tenants can take advantage of the 5,800-square-foot units to store additional equipment or multiple planes. Rents range from $375 to $8,000, and facilities range from simple shell structures to deluxe multi-plane hangars.
