STAMFORD, Conn. - The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Stewart B. McKinney Stamford Transportation Center (STC).
According to the CTDOT, the RFP opened on August 14, 2025, and teams are invited to submit proposals by December 5, 2025. Then, the CTDOT will select two development teams for two agreements by February 27, 2026. The site serves more than 5.5 million annual passengers. As such, it is in need of upgrades to meet the growing demand and “ancipated service increases from Metro-North and Amtrak.” The project’s goals include “replacing, relocating, and repurposing facilities within the station area to optimize long-term growth, incorporate pedestrian friendly and ADA-compliant designs, and integrate smart parking and energy-efficient systems.” CTDOT states it is seeking proposals that incorporate improvements with “mixed-use development” and transit-oriented designs that include residential buildings with retail.
“Redeveloping the Stewart B. McKinney Stamford Transportation Center is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a vibrant transit hub that meets Stamford’s growth and the evolving needs of travelers,” said Connecticut Department of Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto. “By reimagining this property, we can deliver new housing, enhanced transit amenities, and commercial and retail spaces that will serve residents and visitors for decades to come.”
