Three reasons why you should be interested:

  1. It’s becoming increasingly clear that the presence of transit increases land and property values and provides valuable new development opportunities. The combination of traffic congestion and the changing demographics of American households has made living in walkable neighborhoods near transit increasingly attractive. But transit-oriented development projects can be complicated and time-consuming. Hear about tried-and-true implementation strategies from the CTOD experts.
  2. Ever wonder why those great-looking plans don’t end up being great-looking projects? Or why they never get built? Maybe those plans needed a reality check from developers and investors who should have been involved in shaping the development vision from the start. The team from the Center for Transit Oriented Development can help you understand how to navigate the development process so that your project ends up looking the way it was planned.
  3. Transit-oriented development is freighted with so many expectations – cities and transit agencies want to capture the value of property they own near stations, developers want a return on the investment, public interest groups may be pressing for affordable housing and public amenities, and a project’s neighbors may prefer that nothing is built at all. Hear the team from the Center for Transit Oriented Development explain how a project can provide something for everyone, and the financing and implementation strategies that can be employed.
