The Tailwind difference

Hangar space across Denver is scarce and overpriced. We build the smarter answer east of the metro.

Every field around Denver is crowded and expensive, and Colorado Air and Space Port is the exception. For aircraft owners who are done paying climbing rent, stacked fees, and waiting in crowded patterns. With Tailwind you own your hangar outright on a 40-year ground lease, built around the way you fly.

Built around your aircraft
Not every owner needs the same hangar.

Tailwind works with aircraft owners to develop private hangars sized around the aircraft, equipment and space they actually need: from efficient piston-aircraft hangars to large private hangars for turboprops, helicopters, multiple aircraft and light jets.

Piston singles

Efficient, finished hangars sized for one aircraft and the gear that goes with it.

Turboprops and twins

Wider footprints and taller hydraulic doors for bigger wingspans and taller tails.

Helicopters

Clear floor and door dimensions planned around rotor clearance and ground handling.

Multiple aircraft and light jets

Large private hangars with room for more than one aircraft, a shop, and an office.

The proven Tailwind units

Buildings 1 and 2 were never one-size-fits-all. They range from a 4,600 square-foot hangar with a lofted mezzanine down to the standard 2,805 square-foot box hangar, every one of them insulated, heated, and delivered finished. They are the starting point. Your hangar can go bigger, taller, and further.

From the large unit
4,600 sq ft
  • 1,300 sq ft lofted mezzanine
  • Double and triple 18 ft hydraulic doors
  • Heated floors
  • Deck off the end of the hangar
  • Insulated, heated, and finished
To the standard box hangar

  • 55 ft × 51 ft footprint
  • 16 ft Higher Power hydraulic door
  • Fully insulated and heated
  • Finished private bathroom, shower optional
  • Room for two aircraft, three in many layouts

Every Tailwind hangar: whole-hangar ownership, one owner per hangar, on a low, fixed 40-year ground lease at KCFO. No landing fees, no ramp fees.

The Tailwind advantage

A better way to own hangar space.

Tailwind's previous development demonstrated what is possible at KCFO compared with significantly more expensive Denver-area hangar ownership. Same mission, very different math.

The Tailwind team

Veteran owned, pilot owned, hands-on every day.

Tailwind Hangars is a veteran-owned, pilot-owned business. Casey and the team personally fly in and out of KCFO, know this airport and this area, and have two hangar buildings going up here right now.

When you build with Tailwind, you are working directly with the owners who fly here too, not a faceless leasing office. That is the Tailwind difference.

Common questions

Building a hangar at Colorado Air and Space Port.

Straight answers to what pilots ask us most about Tailwind Hangars at KCFO.

Where is Tailwind Hangars located?

Tailwind Hangars is a private hangar development on Violet Hill at Colorado Air and Space Port (KCFO), east of the Denver metro in Colorado. Owners fly in and out of KCFO directly.

What is a build-to-suit hangar?

A private hangar developed around your requirements at Colorado Air and Space Port: footprint, door height and width, shop and office space, bathrooms, storage, electrical and finish. You tell us what you fly and what the hangar needs to do, and Tailwind designs and builds it at KCFO.

What size aircraft can Tailwind build a hangar for?

From efficient piston-aircraft hangars to large private hangars for turboprops, helicopters, multiple aircraft and light jets. Tailwind's first two buildings range from the standard 2,805 sq ft box hangar with a 16 ft hydraulic door up to a 4,600 sq ft hangar with a 1,300 sq ft lofted mezzanine and 18 ft doors, and custom hangars can go larger.

Do you own the hangar or rent it?

You own your hangar outright on a low, fixed 40-year ground lease at KCFO, so you build equity instead of paying rent that resets every year.

Does Tailwind build hangars at other airports?

No. Tailwind develops on Violet Hill at Colorado Air and Space Port (KCFO). Custom means the hangar is sized and finished around you, at KCFO.

Are there landing or ramp fees at KCFO?

No. Tailwind owners pay no landing fees and no ramp fees, and fly in and out on their own schedule.

How much does a custom hangar at KCFO cost?

It depends on footprint, door size, shop and office space, and finish, and construction costs change over time, so we do not publish a fixed price. Our first two buildings delivered private hangar ownership at KCFO for significantly less than comparable Denver-area hangars. Tell us what you want to build and we will walk you through current numbers.

Are the first two Tailwind buildings sold out?

Yes. Building 1 and Building 2 are sold out, with 12 hangars sold, and both buildings are going up now at KCFO. We are planning the next development around the aircraft owners who reach out.

Can I invest in a multi-unit hangar building?

Yes. Alongside custom private hangars, Tailwind develops proven multi-unit hangar buildings for investment and aircraft storage at KCFO. Call Casey at (303) 898-8834 to talk it through.

How do I start?
