RV 2014: iTOD Fostering Innovation and Industry Near Transit

Rail~Volution

iTOD: Fostering Innovation + Industry Near Transit In today's economy, employment-focused TOD continues to gain prominence as planners and politicians seek to increase ridership, expand the tax base and create living wage jobs. The integration of transit and industry, however, brings a host of new questions and challenges. Who are the industrial users of the future? What are the new building prototypes? How can we continue to efficiently accommodate freight access and movement while introducing new modes (transit, pedestrians, bicycles)? How can we increase the accessibility and density of industrial districts without driving away companies and jobs? Come hear how cities and regions across the country are promoting innovation and industry by proactively addressing these complex issues. Moderator: Ilana Preuss, Vice President and Chief of Staff, Smart Growth America, Washington, DC Christopher Ferguson, President and Chief Executive Officer, Bywater Business Solutions, Minneapolis, Minnesota Nolan Lienhart, Director of Planning & Urban Design, ZGF Architects LLP, Portland, Oregon Jon Commers, Principal, Donjek, St. Paul, Minnesota

Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is the #1 local funding source for revitalization of downtowns and urban areas. Such areas face far different challenges than industrial parks or mixed-use neighborhoods when it comes to formulation and implementation of TIF plans. When used successfully in urban areas and downtowns, TIF can not only grow jobs and property tax base, but also serve as a tool for remediating environmental contamination, integrating green design into infrastructure and the built environment, reestablishing a community’s commercial core, improving bikeability, and retrofitting a suburban-style development pattern into walkable urban streets.

In one week, my group (Nurulauni Saniman, Maike Zhang, Yuhua Zhou) and I analyzed a development case with an existing office building and adjacent vacant land for development. Group created a 20-minute investor presentation analyzing the macro economy, purchase price of entire site and adjacent vacant land, and optimization of the capital structure to reduce the weighted average cost of capital for the project.
