PENN 2 Wins 2025 IDEAS² Award

We’re proud to announce that PENN 2 has been honored with the 2025 IDEAS² Award (Innovative Design in Engineering and Architecture with Structural Steel). Presented by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), the IDEAS² Awards represent the highest recognition in the structural steel industry, celebrating excellence in design, engineering, and innovation.

PENN 2’s redevelopment was recognized for the bold and elegant engineering of The Bustle: A 75-ft by 450-ft addition to the fourth through 10th floors that hovers above the sidewalk on dramatically sloped columns configured around the existing Penn Station trainshed. The Bustle is key to the project’s goals of creating more inviting public spaces, enhancing office facilities, introducing modern amenities, and elevating the building’s overall aesthetics.
