That article's bollocks. This is the redevelopment of several blocks
north of the station (including the bus station and District/Circle
tube entrance), but it doesn't involve the mainline station at all.

A quick search of Google News says this is the original source, and
doesn't contain this error:

The Times has rewritten it here, introducing mention of the mainline
station:

And Transport Briefing has taken this and run with it, merging it with
some random junk from this old press release:

Interesting to see in that report that the development has to make
provision for Crossrail 2.
