Deal of the Year 2025: NY Transportation Development Corp. / JFK Millennium Partners (Green Financing)

New York Transportation Development Corporation's green bond financing for JFK's new Terminal 6 proves that big aviation projects can be built with climate goals at the center. Proceeds support a terminal designed for lower energy use, rooftop solar, all-electric ground support equipment, and stormwater capture and reuse — paired with rigorous third-party green review. Investor demand was deep and diverse, reflecting confidence in both the credit and the sustainability plan. It's a clear blueprint for airports nationwide: expand capacity, cut carbon impacts, and attract capital by aligning long-term infrastructure with long-term environmental responsibility.
