New renders of New York's much-needed Penn Station renovation have been shared by the US Department of Transportation (USDOT), Amtrak and Penn Transformation Partners (PTP) (a joint venture led by Halmar and Skanska). The images follow the announcement of PTP as lead developer for the project on 20 May 2026.
In a statement, Amtrak said the station's new single-level concourse, featuring "stone and bronze with soaring ceilings," would consolidate all public activity on a single level above the platforms. It added that the project would create a new entrance on Eighth Avenue leading to a new train hall, expand track capacity, improve the station’s existing subterranean structure, and "replace cramped, decrepit walkways with open, beautiful concourses."
Construction is expected to start in late 2027 and complete in 2034. Madison Square Garden and all railroads will continue to operate during the works.
USDOT and Amtrak took control of the Penn Station project from New York's MTA in 2025. It is understood that the federal government will now provide $8BN in funding for the project, and that New York Governor Kathy Hochul has, as a result, withdrawn a $1BN commitment previously put forward by the state.
Commenting on the new renders, US Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said: “The Golden Age of Transportation is coming thanks to President Trump. He had a vision to transform this dirty, falling-apart station in the middle of his hometown into a state-of-the-art transit hub that millions can enjoy for generations to come. American families deserve a safe, efficient, and clean commute to their homes, jobs, and churches. I look forward to our continued partnership in delivering this momentous landmark that will completely transform New York City as we know it today.”
