Sundt Construction
Address:
2620 S. 55th Street, Tempe, AZ 85282
About Sundt Construction
Sundt Construction is no stranger to handling large-scale complex projects. Building since 1890, Sundt has built $4.5 billion worth of industrial projects in the last ten years across the Southwest. Today, President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board Mike Hoover leads the company with over four decades of industry experience. Rich Keil leads the Industrial Group, bringing 30 years of expertise in markets such as power, renewables, forest industries, water, mining, and technology.
Featured Projects
Sundt renovated the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Terminal, adding a new terminal of approximately 25,000 square feet, extending the ticketing area, and moving the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening area to the old baggage claim area — all while the airport remained operational. It was particularly challenging to remodel the baggage check-in while the original system had to be kept running. A lot of advanced planning went into reconfiguring the baggage room in one day to keep it going smoothly under Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) supervision. Former ticketing offices were also converted into TSA offices; the rental car area was transformed into additional ticketing queuing. Sundt also built two departure/arrival gates with VIP seating, restrooms, and space for retail establishments with access to the courtyard.
