PHILADELPHIA-Amtrak announced on Monday that it is seeking proposals for a master development plan for the 30th Street station and the surrounding area of Philadelphia.
The plan would also include highly sought after air rights above the rail yards near the station, according to The Inquirer.
Amtrak says it is working with Drexel University and Brandywine Realty Trust to redevelop the 80-year-old station and the adjoining University City neighborhood. A coordinating committee that includes the University of Pennsylvania, SEPTA, and the city, will also be involved, Amtrak officials stated.
The master plan will "identify commercial development opportunities" adjacent to the station and develop "improved connectivity between the station and the neighboring community," Amtrak officials added. See story in The Inquirer.
