Camillo Gives Update On Long-Anticipated Greenwich Crossing Project

GREENWICH, CT — First Selectman Fred Camillo this week gave an update on Greenwich Crossing, the $30 million revitalization project that will bring a new restaurant, a redesigned train station and renovated retail spaces to the downtown Greenwich area.

In his weekly newsletter to the community, Camillo said he spoke recently with Ryan Harvey, who is overseeing the project for The Ashforth Company.

"Barring any unforeseen construction or weather delays, the train station is on track to reopen by the end of December," Camillo wrote in his update. "The renovations of the retail area are also progressing."

The project website notes Citibank and Signature Cycles remain open and the renovations of the remaining retail storefronts will be completed in the coming months. Work on the restaurant structure will continue into early spring 2026.

Camillo thanked residents and commuters for their patience during construction, which began in fall 2024.

A new 5,000-square-foot restaurant will be located at the corner of Railroad Avenue and Steamboat Road where the old Bow Tie movie theater once stood.

The restaurant will feature large sliding glass doors, expansive outdoor seating and a green roof that will be designed with soil and plantings.

The revitalization project will also feature a redesigned and welcoming train station, a modernized mixed-use space, new pedestrian and commuter pathways, new landscaping and plantings, improved access to the train platforms, and redesigned retail spaces.

The staircases to the train platforms at Arch Street, Steamboat Road, and Greenwich Plaza Road remain open, as well as the pedestrian bridge, the latest construction update says.

Commuters should use the pedestrian bridge – with stairs and elevators – to cross over the tracks and access the Track 3-Grand Central-bound and Track 4-Stamford/New Haven-bound platforms.

"For your safety, please allow extra time to reach your train or destination around the construction area during this final stretch," the construction update noted.

The town of Greenwich and The Ashforth Company, which owns Greenwich Plaza on Railroad Avenue, have held a public-private partnership for over 50 years.

Ashforth developed Greenwich Plaza, the 354,000-square-foot complex of offices, retail stores and theaters at the Greenwich Train Station station, in 1970.

Plans for a major revitalization project at Greenwich Plaza were abandoned in 2019. That iteration, which was much bigger than the current plan, would have built a new luxury movie theater.
