LEASING PORT PROPERTY

ESTABLISH YOUR BUSINESS AT OUR AIRPORT OR SEAPORT FACILITIES

The Virgin Islands Port Authority offers the majority of its properties in both the aviation and marine division for lease. Aviation properties include terminal spaces (offices, counters, and concessions), cargo warehousing, and general aviation-related spaces. Marine properties include unimproved spaces for warehousing and passenger facility spaces (offices, counters, and concessions) and many more. 

Our property manager oversees the control and administration of lands, facilities, and other improvements under the jurisdiction of VIPA. The property management department negotiates leases, permits and contractual concession agreements, and other satellite activities pertaining to property management - including the supervision and collection of revenues for VIPA.  All requests to lease property, establish a concession, or to obtain permits to use VIPA's facilities should be made in writing to the attention of the property manager.

​

Requests to use VIPA's facilities free of charge for an event should be directed to the executive director's office. Please call (340) 774-1629 or e-mail property_mgmt@viport.com.
