Box Hangars

What are Box Hangars?

Box hangars are rectangular, open-floor hangars that offer more flexibility and space than T-hangars. Medium-sized box hangars intended for GA aircraft storage typically range from 2,000 to 5,000 square feet or more. They can accommodate larger aircraft, multiple aircraft, or aircraft with support equipment and workshop space. Box hangars are preferred by owners who need more room or who share the space with partners, maintenance tools, or other aviation gear. They’re also easier to configure for specific needs, offering open floor plans without interior walls or dividers.

Cost of Box Hangars

Much like T-hangars, the price of purchasing a box hangar varies greatly depending on local demand, airport location, age, land lease terms, and features. For a box hangar in decent condition with limited amenities, buyers can expect to pay around $100 per square foot, though prices may vary greatly depending on the specific factors mentioned previously. Like any real estate, the market price of hangars will fluctuate depending on demand, cost of materials, and labor costs. To learn about specific unit pricing, please contact us for more details.
