Watch the recorded webinar on transit-oriented development opportunities in Albuquerque, NM

Thank you to everyone who joined LOCUS for a live discussion of Transit-Oriented Development Opportunities in Albuquerque on Thursday, October 19, 2017.

By Smart Growth America, October 20, 2017

In case you missed the live event, you can watch the recorded version below:

Albuquerque is a great opportunity market for developers and investors like you. Here’s why:

The city’s recent transit-oriented development (TOD) federal planning grant has focused future development on Central Avenue, its historic main street, and the 12,000 acres within walking distance of it.
Albuquerque is home to a young, industrious, and innovative population demanding walkable urban development.
The city is making it easy for developers to bring their projects to Albuquerque. Zonar, a unique entitlement modeling software, allows developers to measure the capacity and use potential of their project sites.
Albuquerque has numerous sites targeted for commercial, retail, and residential walkable urban development. Contact Brian Reilly for more information about these sites or learn more here.
