New Hangars for Sale at Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport (KPUJ) | Aviation Real Estate in Georgia

New Hangars Coming to Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport (KPUJ) — Secure Your Spot Early

There’s something special about owning your own hangar. It’s more than just a place to store your plane — it’s your personal piece of aviation real estate in Georgia. Right now, Dallas, GA is about to get a brand-new set of hangars at Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport (KPUJ / PUJ) that could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for. With early access, you’ll have the chance to shape design features, pick your location, and get in at the ground level of a growing aviation community.

Construction is underway, and early investors will be rewarded with priority selection. If you’ve been dreaming of particular amenities — oversized doors, extra electrical capacity, restroom plumbing, etc. — now’s the time to make your voice heard.

Why KPUJ Is a Smart Choice for Georgia Pilots & Investors

Paulding Northwest offers a balance few fields can match. It’s close enough to Atlanta for convenience, yet far enough to avoid heavy airspace congestion and oversaturation of more crowded metro airports. For pilots in Gainesville, North Georgia, or anywhere in the state, KPUJ gives you a strong base for regional flights, training, or storing a second aircraft.

Here’s a quick look at some of the airport’s fundamentals:

• Location & Elevation: 33 miles west of Atlanta, on roughly 630 acres. 

• Elevation: ~1,289 ft above mean sea level (AMSL) 

• Ownership & Management: Owned by the Paulding County Board of Commissioners, managed via the Paulding County Airport Authority (PCAA). 

One thing to note: KPUJ is a non-towered airport — there is no control tower. All operations are on a common traffic advisory frequency (CTAF). 

Despite being non-towered, the field offers robust services and instrument capability (more on that shortly). For many pilots, that means you get lower operating costs and more freedom than at controlled airports.

Runway & Instrument Approach Details

Understanding the runway and instrument infrastructure is key when evaluating an aviation real estate investment. Here’s the data for KPUJ:

• Single Runway: 13/31

• Dimensions: 5,505 ft long × 100 ft wide (concrete/grooved) 

• Weight Capacity: Single-wheel 90,000 lb, dual-wheel 130,000 lb 

• Lighting & Visual Aids: High-intensity runway lights, PAPI (4-light) for both directions, REILs, and segmented circles. 

• Instrument Approaches: KPUJ supports ILS / LOC / GPS approaches (on RWY 31) and RNAV (GPS) approaches to both ends. 

• Taxiways, Protection Zones, etc.: The airport layout plan shows existing taxiways, runway protection zones (RPZ), runway object-free areas (OFA), safety areas (RSA), and planned future expansions. 

• Future Plans: The airport master plan contemplates extending and widening taxiways, possibly lengthening runway thresholds from 5,505 ft toward 6,005 ft in the longer term. 

With a 5,505 ft runway, KPUJ can handle many types of single-engine, light twin, and small business aircraft comfortably. The instrument capability adds added value for owners who want reliable access in less-than-perfect weather.

Fuel, Services & Facilities

Any hangar buyer will want a field with good on-site services. KPUJ checks many of those boxes:

• Fuel Available: 100LL (avgas) and Jet A (full-service and self-serve options) 

• FBO / Ground Services: The fixed-base operator handles aircraft ground handling, hangar leasing, ramp space, tiedowns, and fuel operations. 

• Maintenance Services: Major airframe and powerplant maintenance are available at the field. 

• Communication & Weather:
    • CTAF / UNICOM: 123.075 MHz
    • AWOS-3: 126.225 MHz (weather reporting) 
    • Atlanta Approach / Departure: 121.0 MHz (for IFR transitions) 

• Ramp & Hangar Infrastructure: The airport offers ramp space, tiedowns, and hangar leases. The development you’re proposing fits into a field with flexible infrastructure already in place. 

All that infrastructure gives prospective hangar owners confidence that operations will be smooth, maintenance will be tractable, and fuel access is reliable.

Hangar Options & Amenities

Back to your development: you’ll have a range of hangar styles to match different aircraft and budgets:

T-Hangars (shared building style)

• ~1,071 sq. ft standard units

• ~1,496 sq. ft for end units

• Hydraulic door (42 ft width, 13 ft height)

• LED lighting, shared restroom, storage

• Association to handle shared costs

Box / Corporate Hangars

• 48 ft × 50 ft units with private restrooms and 200-amp panels

• 50 ft × 33 ft units (on the east side) without restrooms

• Robust steel construction to last

Because the steel is already being ordered, getting in early gives you the chance to specify door heights, extra electrical capacity, or custom interior layouts.

The Time to Act Is Now

With much of the infrastructure underway, these hangars will move fast. By stepping in early, you lock in prime placements and possibly influence interior specs before everything is locked down.

If you’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to invest in aviation real estate in Georgia, this is it.
