MarketPlace Development tenders dining and retail spaces at Washington airports – The Moodie Davitt Report – The Moodie Davitt Report
USA. Retail concessions management company MarketPlace Development has called a series of tenders for spaces at Washington Dulles and Ronald Reagan National airports. It does so in partnership with the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA), which will make the final determination about which tenants to appoint.
The latest concessions are among a series of leasing opportunities across both Washington airports. Phase One was completed last October.
At Washington Dulles among the F&B opportunities on offer is a Ghost Kitchen featuring local, regional or national brands. This should be “digitally driven with the ability to provide service throughout the airport via delivery platforms,” according to MarketPlace Development. The space available is 1,543sq ft and it carries a three-year lease with an option for two further years.
At the same location, quick-service restaurants in 2,265sq ft, 1,200sq ft and 985sq ft of space respectively are on offer, alongside a QSR or grab & go outlet in 877sq ft. Each carries a seven-year contract.

At Washington Ronald Reagan National, MarketPlace Development is calling tenders for three F&B outlets plus two retail stores. The dining opportunities include a 5,025sq ft chef-driven restaurant with bar featuring a local or regional brand identity; a 5,877sq ft casual restaurant with bar and a 1,760sq ft signature bar highlighting local wine, beer and spirits plus food. Each has a seven-year contract.
Separately, the retail developer is inviting proposals from potential partners to operate one travel essentials and one technology store.
The 3,105sq ft travel essentials store lies at the intersection of the new post-security National Hall, high-traffic Terminal C and the entrance to the new Concourse E. The 644sq ft technology store is located near the centre of the post-security National Hall. The lease term in each case is seven years.
Submissions for each of these tenders, across both airports, are due by 28 March.
