Penn Station District Plan

FXCollaborative is leading the design and planning effort to transform the district around Penn Station. At the heart of the busiest transportation hub in the western Hemisphere, Penn Station and its neighborhood are stressed. FXCollaborative, as lead architect and planner of NY State's General Project Plan, has crafted a master plan framework for a long-term buildout focused on connectivity within the station, the neighborhood, the city, and the region, and creating a sense of place. The proposed project is critical to achieving a seamlessly integrated intercity rail hub comprising existing Penn Station, Moynihan Train Hall, and the Penn Station expansion. It aims to catalyze transit-oriented development to fund the major renovation and expansion of the station, implement other public transportation and public realm improvements within and around it, and revitalize its surrounding district.

The plan focuses on creating a transit-rich mobility district that will serve both the community and the City by improving access and accessibility, significantly expanding and improving the quality of the public realm; and creating a sustainable, world class, high density, transit-integrated development.
