The project focuses on early-stage site identification of infill land opportunities, which are essential for supporting the next generation of urban air mobility. VertiPorts by Atlantic is targeting several high-density urban markets, including the Greater Los Angeles Area, the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City and its outer boroughs, Long Island, Newark, Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, Orlando and Tampa, with plans to secure initial sites as early as the end of Q4 2025.
“Our vision is to reimagine urban connectivity by creating the infrastructure to support passenger eVTOL operations. This initiative represents not only a key investment in sustainable transportation but also an opportunity to provide faster, cleaner and more efficient mobility options in some of the country’s busiest cities,” said Kevin Cox, CEO of VertiPorts by Atlantic. “We are excited about the transformation this will bring to urban life and proud to lead this evolution working alongside our real estate advisor Cushman & Wakefield, who we are confident will find the innovative solutions we need.”
To achieve this ambitious goal, VertiPorts by Atlantic has engaged real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield as a collaborator. The Cushman & Wakefield team, led by Mike Condon Jr., Kent Hindes and Kylie Rawn, will support VertiPorts by Atlantic’s efforts in securing strategic long-term ground leases for vertiport sites. These efforts include addressing urban space constraints by exploring creative approaches such as one-acre locations atop existing parking structures or larger at-grade sites to fill up to five acres.
“VertiPorts by Atlantic’s vision perfectly matches the needs of today’s rapidly evolving transportation landscape,” said Condon Jr. “We are proud to support this groundbreaking initiative, which has the potential to redefine urban mobility. It also underscores Cushman & Wakefield’s dedication to delivering forward-thinking real estate solutions and fostering a sustainable future. By identifying strategically located sites in some of the nation’s most dynamic cities, we are making bold strides to enhance connectivity and transform mobility for future generations.”
By launching this forward-thinking project, VertiPorts by Atlantic, and its parent, Atlantic Aviation, underscore its leadership in advancing sustainable solutions for modern mobility challenges. The development of vertiports represents a critical step toward alleviating urban congestion, contributing to cleaner cities and unlocking new possibilities in passenger transportation.
VertiPorts by Atlantic is actively pursuing sites and reviewing any and all opportunities.
