Public Benefits

• Burnham Place will incorporate new and expanded facilities for Amtrak and commuter rail, as well as new connections and greater capacity at the north end of Union Station.
• The project will transform 14 acres of air – above unsightly rail lines – into a productive, attractive, smart growth development.
