Moynihan Train Hall 

Opened in December 2020, Moynihan Train Hall is a $1.6 billion project that transformed the 100-year-old James A. Farley Building into a world-class 250,000-square-foot transportation hub that increases the existing Penn Station rail complex’s concourse space by 50 percent. An additional 700,000 square feet of commercial, retail, and dining space serve rail passengers and other shoppers and patrons.

AKRF led the complex NEPA and SEQRA analysis and documentation. Our historians assisted with the federally required coordination process pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and helped draft a programmatic agreement to avoid potential historic resource impacts from the proposed project. SOM led the design of Moynihan Train Hall for Empire State Development.
