Following a competitive bidding process in March 2018, a consortium led by Razel-Bec (a Fayat Group company) was awarded the contract for the station's civil engineering works. This comprehensive project encompassed the construction of molded walls, earthworks, and essential infrastructure. Since July 2021, Razel-Bec has spearheaded the development phase, which includes the superstructure (including surface buildings) and major interior works.[2] The Brunet Saunier Architecture firm won the contract to design the station. Swiss artists Gerda Steiner and Jurg Lenzlinger, collaborating with architect Jérôme Brunet, created unique artwork for the station.[3]
The station was initially designated Porte de Thiais, consistent with existing bus and tram stops. Several mayors in Val-de-Marne disagreed with the chosen names for three stations, including this one, arguing they didn't reflect their actual locations.[4] In September 2022, the station was officially renamed Chevilly-Larue, with Marché International remaining as a subtitle.[5]
