Announced United Club
United builds Target by end of 2026 25,000 sq ft

Terminal 3 West modernization

Under construction Terminal
Airport builds Target fall 2027 (first phase) 650,000 sq ft $2.6B

SFO's $2.6B seismic rebuild of the western half of United's home terminal: a new centralized checkpoint, self bag-drop, and 200,000 sq ft of added space. The traveler cost today: United's west T3 counters have moved to Terminal 2 and part of the T3 departures curb is closed into 2027. Airport-funded — United is the anchor tenant, not the builder.
