The Farley Post Office on Eighth Avenue and 34th Street has finally been transformed into the Moynihan Train Hall, which harkens back to the grandeur of the previous version of Penn Station. NBC New York s Andrew Siff reports. The other components of the Governor’s vision are a reimagined and expanded Penn Station, currently being planned by the MTA in conjunction with Amtrak and NJ Transit, to increase platform capacity by approximately 40 percent, the project overview on the state s website explains.
Part of the plans to build up the city blocks surrounding Penn Station include the addition of 10 large-scale buildings eyed for completion by 2038, according to THE CITY. PENN 15 is one of those buildings.

A project to improve one of New York City s most highly-trafficked transit hubs would include the construction of another skyscraper nearly equal the size of the Empire State Building, called PENN 15, at the corner of 7th Avenue and 33rd Street.
The Empire Station Complex plan would build upon Penn Station and the recently reopened Moynihan Train Hall, NBC New York reports.
Governor Andrew Cuomo first announced the project in January during his week-long State of the State address, referring to it as a 21st century transit complex on Manhattan s West Side.
The Penn Station project is reportedly tied to a $1.3 billion appropriation deal in the proposed state budget, which is still being negotiated by the governor and the state Legislature, and revenue generated by a massive real estate deal in the neighborhood.
