TOD MarketPlace Tour - San Jose Diridon Station Area

Thu, Jul 23rd, 2009 / 8:30 am-10:00 am
TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES TOUR SERIES

The Bay Area will spend over $10 billion on transit investments over the next decade creating thousands of strategically located development opportunities. New transit-oriented development (TOD) will increase ridership and strengthen communities near new and existing transit stations. Please join ULI San Francisco this summer to learn about these plans and opportunity sites through our series of Bay Area TOD tours. Explore featured cities with their planners, stakeholders, and ULI San Francisco’s Technical Assistance Panels. Then, attend the TOD MarketPlace event to hear the Panels’ advice regarding the opportunity sites toured.

The 2009 TOD MarketPlace event will take place on Thursday, September 24th at the Hilton San Jose (300 Almaden Blvd., San Jose). For additional details regarding individual tours, see below. For addition details regarding the TOD MarketPlace please visit: www.todmarketplace.org.

Currently, the Diridon Station area is a gateway to Downtown San Jose and home to HP Pavilion. The City of San Jose plans to improve connectivity to the Diridon Station on a local and regional scale. Transit plans proposed include High Speed Rail (HSR), the Silicon Valley Rapid Transit (SVRT) BART subway extension, and VTA’s Bus Rapid Transit. These, in addition to existing rail and bus options, position Diridon Station as a strategic location for transit-oriented development in the Bay Area. These plans have already sparked urban infill developments, and the prospect of being one of the stations along the United State’s first HSR corridor has drawn international attention to the 130-acre Diridon Station Area. Join Hans Larsen and other stakeholders to learn more about the Diridon Redevelopment Station Area Plan and opportunity sites.

Coffee and light breakfast will be provided at the start of each tour. Good walking shoes are advised.

Space is limited.
