This construction will serve as the catalyst to transform surrounding vacant land already owned by Amtrak into a mixed-use, transit-oriented development with up to one million square feet of new office, retail and residential space.
First built in 1911, the last major renovation of Penn Station was completed in 1984 as part of the Northeast Corridor Improvement Project. Penn Station serves as the primary transportation hub in Baltimore, and prior to the pandemic, more than three million Amtrak and MARC passengers moved through the facility each year. The Baltimore Penn Station redevelopment project is designed to expand and modernize the historic landmark to better accommodate passenger growth, significantly improve the customer experience and to create a revitalized civic space that is woven into the fabric of the community.
Penn Station Partners is proposing a multi-phased, mixed-use development that could bring as much as 1.6 million square feet of development to the area. Preliminary concepts include a hotel in the historic station Head House, as well as office and residential space to the north along Lanvale Street, connected by an expanded concourse with new retail opportunities.
