106 South Pearl Street, Albany, NY
The Advance Albany County Alliance (AACA), in partnership with Albany County, is advancing plans for the development of a new Intercity Transit Center at 106 South Pearl Street. Announced at a recent press event, this project represents a significant investment in regional mobility and a key component of ongoing efforts to revitalize Albany’s South End and strengthen the downtown core.
Project Overview
The proposed Intercity Transit Center will establish a modern, centralized hub for intercity bus service in the Capital Region. The facility is intended to replace outdated and decentralized operations with a coordinated, user-friendly transit experience that improves service reliability, safety, and accessibility.
The project will support regional and national bus carriers and is expected to include:
- Enclosed bus boarding and staging areas
-
Passenger waiting areas and ticketing space
-
ADA-accessible design and amenities
-
Driver facilities and operational infrastructure
-
Ground-floor retail or commercial space to activate the streetscape
The development will incorporate the adaptive reuse of the existing structure at the site, transforming a long-vacant property into a productive community asset.
