The enactment of the MBTA Communities Act in January 2021 which requires 177 Cities and Towns to establish “at least 1 district of reasonable size in which multi-family housing is permitted as of right.” Where possible, the district must be within a half mile from public transportation (commuter rail, bus station, ferry terminal or subway) seeks bring more dense housing options to these communities. Topics will focus on economic and real property implications of the MBTA Communities Act, as well as current status of the multifamily market in the region. Participants will learn about the challenges facing the communities, developers, and investors which all impact appraisal analysis and conclusions.
