BFJ Planning developed a Concept Plan for a proposed 130-acre transit-oriented community adjacent to the Harriman Train Station in Orange County, NY. The Plan features approximately 1,500 residential units, as well as shopping, restaurants, recreational and community facilities in walkable, vibrant neighborhood.

The proposed design, shows higher residential densities within a half-mile radius of the transit station and lower densities further from the station. A contemporary version of a town square will be the central focus of the TOD. The site connects to a series of natural landscapes including the Harriman State Park Trail System to the west and the future expansion of the Heritage Trail.

The Concept Plan calls for the property controlled by the applicant to be developed first. An alternative plan incorporates a portion of the MTA owned parking lot in the development. The alternative shows how the development can be achieved while also meeting the short-term and long-term parking needs of Metro-North/MTA
