The need for a Southwest Corridor light rail line is clear, with Interstate 5 travel times projected to increase 17% by 2035 and average speeds slowing to 20 mph (TriMet). The proposed light rail line will also serve a population that is expected to grow by about 75,000 residents and 60,000 jobs by 2040 (TriMet). The Southwest Corridor will include a major transit stop in Tigard. This light rail transit center will expand upon the existing downtown Tigard transit center that serves area residents as they arrive and depart on the existing bus lines and WES commuter rail, as well as be a destination. Anticipated to be located adjacent to downtown Tigard, it has the potential to stimulate real estate development in the vicinity. Students in Ian Carlton's Real Estate Development Seminar (ARCH 407/507) evaluate and analyzed the development potential of the Tigard Transit Center area, looking at mixed use development in an urban infill area.enCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USArticle
