    REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQ 2018-01) CITY OF RICHARDSON, TEXAS COLLINS/ARAPAHO TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION DISTRICT STUDY OCTOBER 4, 2017 DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION – 4:00 P.M. (CDT), TUESDAY OCTOBER 31, 2017 The City of Richardson, Texas is seeking qualified candidates to respond to this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for professional services to conduct a transit-oriented development and innovation district vision study for an approximate 1,200-acre study area. It is the City’s desire to maximize the potential for transit-oriented development in proximity to an existing light rail station and reposition the study area as a successful innovation district that is an economic driver within the city and region. The vision study should be based on sound placemaking strategies, and result in a successful environment where people will want to live, work and play. The study area is generally bounded by Central Expressway (US 75) on the west, Campbell Road on the north, Plano Road on the east, Apollo Road on the south, and Greenville Avenue/Arapaho Road on the southwest (refer to Exhibit A for project study area). The Arapaho Center Station, an existing Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) light rail station, is located on the western edge of the study area. The Brookings Institute defines innovation districts as “…geographic areas where leading-edge anchor institutions and companies cluster and connect with start-ups, business incubators, and accelerators. They are also physically compact, transit-accessible, and technically-wired and offer mixed-use housing, office and retail.”1 Today, the study area includes existing economic, physical and networking assets – three key components of an innovation district.

  • The Estimated Value of New Investment Adjacent To
    THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF NEW INVESTMENT ADJACENT TO DART LRT STATIONS: 1999-2005 By Bernard L. Weinstein and Terry L. Clower* September 27, 2005 *Professors of Applied Economics, University of North Texas, Denton The DART LRT began service almost a decade ago. As the system has expanded in recent years, developers and planners have paid increasing attention to “transit- oriented development” (TOD) in order to capitalize on access to this high-speed urban transit alternative. Evidence to date suggests that a significant amount of new and rehabilitated property development has, in fact, occurred in close proximity to DART LRT stations. In 1999, we found that the increase in property valuations around DART stations was about 25 percent greater than in control neighborhoods, with the sharpest gains posted in the City Place-Mockingbird-Lovers Lane corridor. An update prepared in late 2002 found that proximity to DART continued to exert a positive influence on property valuations. Between 1997 and 2001, median values of residential properties increased 32.1 percent near the LRT stations compared to 19.5 percent in the control group areas. For office buildings, the increase was 24.7 percent for the DART properties versus 11.5 percent for the non-DART properties. This report takes a completely different tack. Drawing on announcements of new investments and reinvestment adjacent to or near DART LRT stations—as reported in local newspapers—we have estimated the dollar value associated with these projects. In some cases, the value of the new investment was revealed in the articles. In other cases, the newspaper articles simply described the characteristics of the investment—e.g., type of development (residential, commercial, office), number of units, square footage, etc.
