05.29.2026 Natural Light. Soaring Ceilings. At Penn Station? That’s the Plan.
A Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan that’s filled with natural light streaming through soaring ceilings onto a spacious concourse with walls made of stone and trimmed in bronze?
More than a week after Amtrak announced it had chosen a developer to revive dreary Penn Station, details of the design are beginning to emerge. So is the cost: about $7 billion, according to people familiar with the plan who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
What’s less clear is where that money will come from, and how long the project will take.
