Tampa International Airport (TPA) — SkyCenter

Tampa International Airport (TPA) opened its new nine-story, 272,000-square-foot administrative office complex in 2022, marking a significant milestone in the airport’s ongoing master plan. The $122 million development consolidated multiple airport facilities into a single, modern building while also introducing new opportunities for revenue generation through commercial leasing. The building dedicates five floors to leasable office space for external tenants, three floors to airport administrative functions, and one floor to shared amenities, including conference facilities and collaborative work areas. Chrysalis played a key role in the project’s operational readiness and activation. Beginning in the early design phase, Chrysalis consultants worked alongside the airport’s leadership, designers, and contractors to ensure that the building’s layout, infrastructure, and operational features aligned with end-user needs. The team developed and executed a phased relocation plan to move staff from the airport’s previous administrative offices with minimal disruption to day-to-day operations, coordinating closely with stakeholders to maintain operational continuity throughout the transition. As part of this process, Chrysalis scoped all necessary move services, contracted professional movers, and directly oversaw each stage of the relocation. From packing and transport of sensitive equipment to final office setups, the Chrysalis team ensured the move was completed efficiently, safely, and in alignment with project schedules and operational requirements. In recognition of the project’s innovative design and successful delivery, Airport Improvement magazine featured the complex in a 2022 issue, highlighting the building’s role in enhancing TPA’s administrative capabilities and creating new commercial opportunities.
