Transit oriented development projects began picking up within the last decade as a solution to increasing traffic congestion, pollution and environmental concerns. The goal is to build communities clustered around mass transit hubs that provide the option of walking rather than driving to arrive at one’s destination.
Transit oriented developments also tend to follow very strict design guidelines to ensure that the appearance of the community is uniform. This has made them amongst the most desirable communities in which to live, work and shop.
The Nickolai Group will begin marketing efforts on July 14th.The property is expected to bring in $15 million.
