SACRAMENTO, CA — Helix Electric (Helix) joins in the construction of a new six-story, 5,500-space parking garage at Sacramento International Airport (SMF), located west of Terminal B.
The project, part of the airport's $1.3 billion SMForward capital improvement program, is on track to open in late 2026 and will significantly expand parking capacity for the region's fastest-growing airport. Helix serves as the managing electrical contractor on the project, working in coordination with general contractor Otto Construction.
"Projects like this don't happen without the right people and the right partners,” said Casey Long, Chief Operating Officer for Helix Electric. “We are grateful to Otto Construction for bringing their best to this job every single day, and we are confident the workers on this site are building something Sacramento families will rely on for generations of travel ahead."
The new garage replaces the existing Hourly B Lot and adds 5,500 close-in parking spaces for passengers and visitors at SMF. The structure features a parking guidance system, electric vehicle charging stations on every level, solar panel readiness, and public art integrated into its perforated metal panels.
"When Sacramento residents head to the airport, this garage will be part of their experience for decades to come, and that matters to us," said Matt Liefer, Operations Manager for Helix Electric. "This project expands what Helix Electric can offer in Northern California and reinforces our commitment to delivering work that leaves a lasting, positive mark on the communities we build in."

The total project budget is $390 million.
