I guess you've never been in the Oyster Bar in Grand Central Terminal.
It's a New York institution, it's been in its location for decades, and while you can get quick service there, it's actually a place where people who have no intention of catching a train meet to dine, drink and socialize.
Ahh the Oyster Bar. My old stomping grounds as my first job out of school was in the MetLife building which is sandwiched next to GCT. It sure is a NY institution and the architectural acoustics surrounding it are just as cool.
Many a patron have been known to check out the Whispering Gallery right outside of the Oyster Bar...before, during and after a few libations. A fun thing to do.
Development Summary
-1.5 million square feet of office space
-More than 1,300 residential units
-More than 500 hotel rooms
-100,000 square feet of retail
Baltimore’s Penn Station redevelopment is supposed to start this summer with upgrades to the existing historic head house and then construction of the modern terminal to the north next year
Glad to see all the NEC Stations getting their deserved love and care
If this is what you’re referring to, these may be apples and oranges. The scale is too small to be compared to what is happening at Union Station. Is there another part?

It's 1.9 million square feet of completed development which is a little less as the one that is still down in the pipeline in DC.
When the DC one is finished in about 5-10 years we will see the magnitude it has on the area. But for now, we cannot speculate since every major project in every major city gets VE'd. Visions are great, but when the shovel hits the ground then only would be fair to compare. IIRC, the development in DC just last month went under a huge revision back to the drawing to remove car-centric, and mediate taffic concerns. Its far from a solid plan. In 2016 before the shovel hit the ground for Hub On Causeway, it was 2.75 million square feet before finally getting trimmed to what it is now. Only about 525 feet tall, but the ground level is impeccable.
