Market Assessment 23
Why Market Analysis? Transit-Oriented Development must respond to the market. BRT does not create new demand. Rather, it focuses it in specific locations. Jan Mar May Jul Sep Nov 2018 Mar May 24
BRT Impacts on Development Increased share of new office by 1/3 Correlation with higher office rents within half mile of BRT Multi-family share more than doubled within half mile of BRT (2008-2014) Statistically significant increase in single-family home values Mar Source: Bryan Costales, used under CC license, http://www.bcx.news/photos/transport/public/ltd/emx/bus/ May 25
