Discovery Air campus could be ‘icing on the cake’
A proposed FBO at Northern Colorado will lease and commit to a portion of the terminal, hangar and ramp space. The terminal will be comprised of a two-storey 24,000 sq ft FBO with an adjacent 37,000 sq ft hangar

Discovery Air's aviation development project at Northern Colorado Regional airport is releasing an RFI (Request for Information) for FBO services. The new FBO will be located within its master-planned aviation campus and will serve the general and business aviation community as well as the based clients of Discovery Air.

Water Valley Land Company, owner of the Discovery Air project, and the Business Aviation Group (BA Group) have been working together to develop this aviation complex that will serve the current and future needs of the growing general and business aviation community at FNL.

Located on the southern end of the airport, the Discovery Air Campus will significantly enhance the business and general aviation facilities offered at Northern Colorado Regional Airport. Upon completion, it will feature four office/hangars with supporting office and shop space, as well as an FBO facility. The first hangar/office facility, Torrey's Peak, is under construction with delivery and occupancy slated for Q4 of this year. The FBO will also be the location for an aviation-themed restaurant. Discovery Air has already received several lease commitments for the Torrey's Peak hangar.

The proposed FBO will lease and commit to a portion of the terminal, hangar and ramp space. The terminal will be comprised of a two-storey 24,000 sq ft FBO with an adjacent 37,000 sq ft hangar capable of housing large corporate aircraft. Once completed, the Discovery Air Campus will span 29.5 acres and consist of over 178,000 sq ft of office/restaurant, hangar and enclosed parking space.

Martin Lind, principal of Discovery Air and Water Valley comments: “It has been my dream to bring a first-class aviation campus to FNL, and now using BA Group to source a top-performing FBO will be the icing on the cake.”
