Interesting article in the Philadelphia Business Journal concerning the redevelopment of Philadelphia 30th Street Station. The PBJ is behind a hard paywall, so here are the highlights:
- Cost rises from $400 million to $550 million, and completion is now expected in 2027 (was 2025).
- Retail area (south station concourses) to be closed for reconstruction in January 2024. Existing vendors (Jersey Mike's, etc.) will temporarily use kiosks in the main concourse. Retail area to reopen in March 2025.
- In April 2025, work will begin to replace the ticket and baggage area, add seating to the north waiting room, and the renovation of the Metropolitan Lounge. Work to be completed in October 2027.
