Premier Jet makes smart long-term

nnnn

investment with Megadoor

nnnn

Premier Jet is a $33 million, 15-acre complex

nnnn

that includes 19 private executive hangars

nnnn

ranging in size from 3,500—15,000 square feet.

nnnn

The facility is located at McClellan-Palomar

nnnn

Airport (KCRQ), in Carlsbad, California, a

nnnn

short drive north of San Diego. In 2008, Pre-

nnnn

mier Jet was listed as one of the Top 10 Fixed

nnnn

Base Operators (FBO) in the country, accord-

nnnn

ing to the readers of Aviation International

nnnn

News (AIN).

nnnn

Premier Jet is unique, because they are the

nnnn

first to bring the condo concept with 30-year,

nnnn

prepaid, long-term, leases to the aviation com-

nnnn

munity. "Unlike renting, a long-term lease al-

nnnn

lows a customer to have all the benefits of own-

nnnn

ership, including the right to perform upgrades

nnnn

to the property and to re-sell or re-lease," said

nnnn

Richard Lee Sax, President of Premier Jet.

nnnn

Critical issues:

nnnn

• Maximize land return on investment —

nnnn

Maximize the amount of leasable square

nnnn

footage on the 15-acre site. Ramp and land

nnnn

space is limited at many of the nation's air-

nnnn

ports and costs a premium, especially in

nnnn

Southern California.

nnnn

• Aesthetics — Provide a modern, architec-

nnnn

turally pleasing facility that will meet the

nnnn

expectations of executive aircraft owners

nnnn

while enhancing the airport and surround-

nnnn

ing community.

nnnn

• Durability — Minimize life cycle costs over

nnnn

the 30-year leases offered to clients.

nnnn

Megadoor provided:

nnnn

• Hangar door design and facilitated the

nnnn

structural integration of the door system

nnnn

into the building.

nnnn

(5) 48' x 18' (14.6 x 5.5 m)

nnnn

Benefits:

nnnn

• Space Savings — The Megadoor requires

nnnn

virtually no side room, enabling architects

nnnn

to place individual hangars directly adjacent

nnnn

to each other. In addition, the Megadoor

nnnn

operates in a vertical plane, so ramp space in

nnnn

front of hangars can be minimized as com-

nnnn

pared to hydraulic doors, which require a no

nnnn

parking "safety" zone in front of the hang-

nnnn

ar door. Together, these features enable an

nnnn

architect to maximize the return on invest-

nnnn

ment by increasing the amount of leasable

nnnn

hangar space on piece of property.

nnnn

• Aesthetics — The Megadoor design and

nnnn

clean lines compliment the modern archi-

nnnn

tectural style of the facility. A grey color was

nnnn

chosen for the doors which blends into the

nnnn

façade and provides tenants with privacy.

nnnn

• Durability — Megadoors have earned the

nnnn

reputation for working year after year in

nnnn

the world's harshest environments with

nnnn

minimal maintenance. They are chosen

nnnn

for some of the most remote hangars and

nnnn

mines in the world, far from any specialized

nnnn

door service company. The simple design

nnnn

minimizes moving parts and utilizes high

nnnn

quality components, ensuring long life and

nnnn

minimal ownership costs.
