The state Department of Transportation on Friday opened a request for proposals for multifamily housing development as part of an overall plan to redevelop the Stamford train station. The deadline for submissions is Dec. 5.
The state agency said it seeks transit-oriented, mixed-use multifamily housing projects that incorporate spaces for retail, commercial, office, hotel or civic use, within an 11-acre area. Plans to overhaul the Stewart B. McKinney Stamford Transportation Center include replacing, relocating and repurposing station facilities, including platforms, to accommodate long-term growth, smart parking, pedestrian-friendly and ADA-compliant signs.
The DOT, which came up with a master plan to revamp the station in early 2024 after renovating it in the early 2000s, plans to choose up to two development teams and execute pre-development agreements by February 27, 2026.
“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 DOT 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.”
Developers interested in responding to the RFP may review full details and submission requirements on the state Department of Administrative Services’ CTSource Bid Board (Project Solicitation Number STCTOD8.14.25). They may contact the DOT at DOT.TOD@ct.gov for information.
