Empire State Complex

Earlier this year, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the Empire State Complex, a major redevelopment initiative for the area surrounding Pennsylvania Station.

Governor Cuomo’s primary objective is to deliver a world-class hub of transportation for the millions of New Yorkers, tourists, and commuters that pass through Penn Station each year.

The project will also create a seamless link between Penn Station and the new Moynihan Train Hall, in addition to eight new train tracks, new subway station entrances, stairways, widened platforms, and ADA- compliant access points.

Before construction, an environmental assessment will also need to take place to consider the potential effects of shadows cast by the new structures, changes to the pedestrian experience, water and sewer infrastructure, public health, and the potential effects on nearby historic buildings.
