Approximately late 2021
Economic reasons and corporate restructuring. The heliport was a private facility for The Boeing Company's Eastgate campus. In September 2021, Boeing sold the entire 35-acre campus as part of a major cost-cutting and real estate consolidation effort, driven by the financial impacts of the 737 MAX crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. With the sale of the property, the heliport's purpose was eliminated, leading to its closure.
The site is undergoing a complete transformation. After being sold by Boeing, the campus was acquired by real estate developer Unico Properties. The new owner has begun a major redevelopment project, which includes the demolition of the former Boeing office buildings. The plan is to construct a new, modern mixed-use campus, likely focusing on life sciences, research, and technology tenants. The building that the heliport was physically located on is part of this demolition and redevelopment plan.
The I-90/Bellevue Busi Pk Boeing Comp Svcs Hdq Heliport was a private heliport located atop the main building of the Boeing Eastgate campus, which formerly housed the headquarters for Boeing Computer Services (BCS). Its primary operation was executive and personnel transport. The heliport provided a crucial logistical link, enabling rapid, point-to-point travel for Boeing employees and executives between the Bellevue headquarters and other major Boeing facilities in the Puget Sound area, such as the manufacturing plants in Renton and Everett, and Boeing Field in Seattle. This allowed key personnel to bypass the region's significant road traffic, facilitating efficient corporate operations for a major division of the world's largest aerospace company.
None. The prospects for reopening this specific heliport (US-10619) are zero. The facility was intrinsically tied to the Boeing-owned building, which is being demolished as part of the site's redevelopment. A reopening is physically impossible as the original infrastructure will no longer exist. There have been no public announcements suggesting that a new heliport will be included in the future development plans for the site.
