When is the completion date?
The anticipated completion date is Fall 2025.
What are the exciting new improvements?
Improvements include the demolition of the existing 16,349 SF theatre building located at the corner of Railroad Avenue and Steamboat Road and, in its place, the construction of a new, mixed-use space with an outdoor plaza and better pedestrian access to the train platform. The space will feature green spaces and outdoor seating for a new restaurant. This new building addition will be set back more than 20 feet from Railroad Avenue, and nearly 30 feet from Steamboat Road. In addition, a new staircase to the train platform will improve pedestrian access and egress. Adjoining the restaurant to the west will be new retail space.
The revitalization also includes the renovation and re-facing of the remaining mixed-use building and both interior and exterior improvements to the train station. All will be renovated to provide new retail storefronts and tenant spaces, connecting the active retail streetscape of Greenwich Avenue to the Greenwich Train Station.
What are the improvements inside the train station?
The use of new materials, upgraded lighting, and modern signage will refresh the station’s exterior façade, giving it a more distinguished presence on Railroad Avenue. Inside the building, at its first-floor entrance, the use of new materials and lighting will give the space a less confined and more open feel. The elevator door will be reoriented, allowing for a small retail opportunity to be added on the station’s second floor. All new flooring throughout and the use of upgraded materials, including glass, will provide a more open and sunlit space.
How will traffic be impacted during construction?
There will be typical traffic delays associated with construction and we will do our best to keep these at a minimum. We will keep our tenants and the Greenwich community informed throughout the project. Click to view Parking & Pedestrian Access Plan.
How will parking be impacted during construction?
Some of the metered parking spaces along the south side of Railroad Avenue have been deactivated following the Town’s established procedures and associated costs. We have temporarily relocated 12 public-use parking spaces, 2 of which are ADA spaces to the west side parking lot at the intersection of Railroad Avenue and Arch Street.

How will the stairs from the street to the train station platform be impacted?
The Steamboat Road staircase to the train station platform on the east end (access to the Inbound-To New York platform) will be closed beginning April 29, 2024 until April 2025. The train station and Arch Street staircase (at the west end) will remain open. Work on the station will not commence until the new Steamboat Road staircase (at the east end) is constructed and operational. At all times, there will always be access to the train station platform.
