In March 2008, Al Wells — a local Iowa City developer — stepped into the airport scene with several great ideas to save the old Boeing/United Hangar and add additional custom hangar condominium space for sale. The proposal -- now called "Amelia Field" --  is in an early stage, but here is a rough outline:

Step One

The initial proposal is to raise and move the Boeing United hangar to “Lot 1” in the North Airport Development, followed by a complete restoration and rehabilitation as a heated working hangar, with a new taxi access from lot 1 onto the airport.  Click here to view a plat map showing where Lot 1 is.

Step Two

Add two more hangars onto Lot I, with (4) 1200 square foot business office suites for sale above the new hangar space with access to the airport runways. The preliminary design incorporates a traditional curved roof line with wrap around glass below the roof line to resemble the Boeing United Hangar.

Step Three

To develop the Boeing United Hangar with restored office space for lease in front and hangar condo space for up to 8 planes depending on the make and model.

Al has spoken with the Airport Commission at their last meeting and was able to obtain constructive input and suggestions from the commission and is moving forward in his plans based on that information. He will be looking for input, and potential buyers as well as investors! Contact Al via email at al.wells@earthlink.net  or call at 319.400.2908
