Join us for a tour of Amtrak's William H. Gray III 30th Street Station Redevelopment Project.

In 2016, in partnership with Brandywine Realty Trust, Drexel University, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, and the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, Amtrak developed a comprehensive vision to serve as a roadmap for the improvement and development of Gray 30th Street Station and the surrounding district. This project is part of the first phase of the District Plan.

Utilizing funding from both public and private sources, the project has an estimated capital construction value of $550 million, with major elements of the station restoration and renovation to include:

  • Modernizing and expanding station food & beverage and retail offerings,

  • Improving station operations and enhancing the customer experience,

  • Upgrading The Porch landscaping and community amenities,

  • Modernizing Amtrak corporate offices, and

  • Enhancing building infrastructure to achieve and maintain a state of good repair.

Led by a public-private partnership (P3) between Amtrak and Plenary Infrastructure Philadelphia (PIP), which includes Plenary Americas, Vantage Airport Group, and Johnson Controls Inc. (JCI), with Gilbane Building Company and SOM as the design-build team, the project will position the station for the next five decades of growth and transform the travel experience for millions of people every year.

Tour concludes at 5PM, to be followed by networking at The Post.

No person may be admitted to the job site without this PPE and no exceptions will be made. Extra vests, etc. are available for visitors but the most important thing to have is hard soled boots.
