Strength in Leveraging Transportation Investments to Advance Community Planning Goals
We help communities capture the full value of transportation investments, from providing market and impact analyses to innovative financing and equitable TOD strategies.
We understand the catalytic impact that transportation improvements can have on economic development, real estate markets, and the long-term competitiveness of a region or community. We synthesize transportation accessibility benefits, real estate market conditions, community planning efforts, and real estate economics to prepare forecasts and strategies to support our clients’ decision-making process.
We have led transit-oriented development (TOD) studies, value capture analyses and joint development strategies for transit agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, and departments of transportation across the country. Our work spans the full pre-development spectrum: from quantifying the development potential generated by infrastructure investments to facilitating the public-private partnerships needed to bring transformative projects to life.
