In early 2004, the Port Authority, which owns the land, modified the Libeskind plan to include a railroad and subway station downtown that was intended to rival Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal. In a nod to the Liebeskind concept, the station is at an angle to maximize the effect of the autumnal equinox rays. Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, designer of the station, said it resembles a bird being released from a child's hand. The roof is designed to mechanically open to increase light and ventilation to the enclosed space.
Lower Manhattan has never had an ambitious railroad center, as the former complex at the World Trade Center was built beneath the buildings. The station is designed to connect the PATH to the New York City Subway system.
An underground passageway east, along Dey Street, is being constructed as part of the Fulton Center project, (new.wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=40.711069&lon=-7... will link the new station with the subway's 1 2 3 4 5 A C E J N R Z services. There will also be a passageway west to the World Financial Center and the Battery Park City Ferry Terminal.
A proposal for a connection to the Long Island Rail Road and John F. Kennedy International Airport via a new tunnel under the East River, the Lower Manhattan-Jamaica/JFK Transportation Project, is currently in the alternatives analysis stage.
On July 8, 2008, the first prefabricated "ribs" for the pedestrian walkway under Fulton Street were installed on the site. The fully-completed station opened in March 2016.
