Current Trends in Transit-Oriented Development

 Lorman Education Services
nAs the United States faces the most severe economic recession since the Great Depression, one sector of real estate - transit-oriented development - is situated to protect investors from the economic downturn and deliver attractive long-term profits. TOD provides a new investment opportunity for both the public and private sectors as our cities are faced with the challenges of rapid price fluctuations in oil, traffic congestion and stagnating real estate markets. TODs are attractive, vibrant communities that include a mix of uses including residential, retail and office within a 5- to 10-minute walk of commuter train stations. Emerging Trends in Real Estate, published by the Urban Land Institute and PricewaterhouseCoopers, rated TOD as the best investment in real estate because TODs hold value in down market cycles and appreciate faster during positive market conditions. Evidence in Denver, for example, has shown that TOD properties over the past two years have increased significantly while the overall market across the region has fallen. This teleconference will help you to better understand what TOD is and how it will benefit under President Barack Obama's plan for a national economic stimulus. You'll find out what states, regional transit agencies and local governments are doing to encourage economic development through TOD and the role for the private sector, including investors and developers looking for new opportunities in our stagnating economy.
