In recent years, a renewed interest has blossomed in rail travel and rail investment.
However, federal funding constraints for new transit projects threaten the feasibility
of urban rail network construction and expansion. In response, the public sector has
begun to consider alternative financial mechanisms including value capture. As new
construction expands transit’s reach into the suburbs, another phenomenon is facing
these communities – the death of the suburban shopping mall. This report examines
these two issues: constraints in transit funding and the proliferation of greyfield
shopping malls. Addressing both issues, the argument is made that greyfield
shopping malls serve as excellent locations to implement transit value capture
strategies by converting the malls into suburban transit-oriented developments
