transit-oriented development

At Rebel, we know that transit-oriented development (TOD) is only as successful as its execution. It requires aligning vision with pragmatic, fundable, and actionable strategies. Our focus is on delivery: translating plans into executed deals, unlocking public and private value, and ensuring projects drive community outcomes.

TOD: Vision to Value

We support both public and private sector clients through every phase of TOD planning and implementation—bringing financial, analytical, and transactional expertise that ensures projects are not just feasible, but transformative.

A quick intro

Transit-oriented Development and Real Estate

For public agencies, advancing TOD often means navigating complex regulatory, infrastructure, and stakeholder environments. Rebel works alongside our clients to:

Structure investment-ready projects that align with broader policy goals
Develop financial frameworks that attract public and private funding
Evaluate implementation risks and define roles across partners
Support negotiations with market insight and analytical rigor
Advise on TOD-related financings and grant applications

Whether designing public funding strategies or structuring value capture mechanisms, we help agencies move from planning to delivery with clarity and momentum.

For developers, TOD presents both an opportunity and a challenge: the chance to build vibrant, high-demand places near transit, but within complex regulatory, infrastructure, and partnership environments. At Rebel, we help the private sector to:

Truly understand the value proposition of transit proximity
Navigate phasing, shared infrastructure, and partnership models
Evaluate financial feasibility and shape competitive responses
Build credibility with public sector partners through clear analysis
Advise on TOD-related financings and grant applications, including the USDOT’s TIFIA and RRIF TOD programs

Our role is to help the private sector succeed in TOD not just as delivery agents, but as strategic partners in city-making. Our approach draws on experience across the U.S. and internationally. We offer:

Financial and feasibility modeling to translate plans into viable projects
Transaction structuring and deal advisory to bring public-private partnerships to market
Negotiation support and stakeholder facilitation that drives aligned outcomes
Delivery strategy and procurement design rooted in policy alignment and market understanding
