Today's Sacramento Bee states the airport had put out a request for bids for airport Lounges in both terminals A and B. The space used would be space that has leases expiring in November 2018 or January 2019, and the Lounges would be appro:
Terminal A: up to 2,151 sq ft
Terminal B: up to 1,397 sq ft
The bids would be evaluated and results published in June 2018.
The lounge operator would have to pay development of at least $350/sq ft at least $40/sq ft in refurbishment after five years as well as unspecified rent.
I wonder if we might actually see, for example, The Escape lounges at SMF, as there is at OAK? Nice bonus for AMEX Platinum members, etc.
