The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) yesterday released a request for proposals seeking redevelopment proposals for the Stewart B. McKinney Stamford Transportation Center (STC).
The issuance of the RFP marks a major step in CTDOT’s initiative to reimagine the STC as a modern, multimodal transportation hub integrated with transit-oriented development (TOD), CTDOT officials said in a press release.
The 11-acre site, which now serves over 5.5 million rail and bus passengers annually, is in need of comprehensive upgrades and a reconfiguration to meet the demands of a growing population and future transit expansions, including anticipated service increases from MTA Metro-North Railroad and Amtrak.
Proposals are due Dec. 5. CTDOT plans to select up to two development teams and execute pre-development agreements by Feb. 27, 2026.
Key goals for the redevelopment include replacing, relocating and repurposing facilities within the station area to optimize long-term growth, incorporating pedestrian-friendly and ADA-compliant designs, and integrating smart parking and energy-efficient systems.
Preferred TOD plans include primarily multifamily residential buildings with retail or a diverse mix including commercial, office, hotel or civic uses.
