The players
NetJets
NetJets is a private aviation company that sells fractional aircraft ownership and charter flying, with its global headquarters in Columbus, Ohio.
The details
The project includes two new buildings with office space and a training center for employees, a new parking garage, and upgrades to dining and event venues on the Bridgeway Avenue campus. It extends work already underway at the headquarters, following the renovation of the NetJets Flight Center, which opened in June with updated technology and new collaboration spaces. Taken together, the buildings add capacity for both staff and training, which is why the expansion is tied directly to the projected job growth.
