NEW YORK, NY — Penn Transformation Partners, a joint venture of Halmar and Skanska, has been selected as master developer for the transformation of Amtrak’s New York Penn Station, one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in the United States. The HNTB-HOK Joint Venture, in association with Practice for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU), has been selected as the design team.

Expected to serve millions of passengers each year, the New York Penn Station project will enhance capacity, improve passenger experience, and reconnect the facility to the city. The project will also deliver:

• A new entrance along Eighth Avenue leading to the train hall
• Expanded and intuitive concourses to replace existing constrained circulation
• Improved track capacity and operational efficiency
• Enhanced retail, wayfinding, and passenger amenities
• A revitalized subterranean infrastructure
• Integration with Madison Square Garden and surrounding urban fabric

The Penn Station transformation aims to replace decades of fragmented, outdated infrastructure with a cohesive, modern entryway that prioritizes accessibility, safety, and passenger comfort — while supporting long-term regional growth.

This project fundamentally rethinks how a complex, high-volume transportation hub functions. By improving circulation, increasing capacity, and introducing intuitive wayfinding, the design will enable a more seamless and efficient passenger journey. The goal is to deliver a station that performs at the highest level and supports future growth while making daily travel faster, safer, and more legible for millions of riders.
