Joint Development

Metro has a plan for improving quality of life by creating more opportunities to live and work near transit.

Metro JD is committed to growing its housing portfolio to 10,000 homes by 2031—5,000 of which will be income-restricted. Metro has identified 20 new development opportunities (“10K Sites”) that will be made available for competitive developer proposals in the coming years.

Overview

The Metro Joint Development (JD) Program is the real estate development program through which Metro collaborates with developers to build transit-oriented developments on Metro-owned properties. JD sites are typically left over from construction on transit projects and hold unique potential to advance community development goals while serving as a gateway to the Metro transit system. Working in partnership with local cities, community stakeholders, and private and non-profit developers, Metro aims to build as much quality housing on these sites as possible—as quickly as possible—for those who need it most.

How To Get Involved

Metro engages with residents, community organizations, and developers to deliver projects that meet community needs. Each project site will conduct robust community outreach to inform design and development.

To share your input on how a future apartment building at one of our sites can best serve your community, please complete the survey for the sites currently in the community engagement phase listed below:

Or join Metro staff for a virtual community meeting to learn what has been gathered from the site-specific surveys so far, how you can get involved, and what the next steps in the process are.

Accessing Housing

Project site pages, hosted on Metro Housing Projects and Progress, will be updated when homes—both market rate and affordable—become available for rent. Local public housing agencies also operate a variety of waiting lists for rental assistance programs, public housing, and income-restricted housing (including projects built through Metro’s Joint Development program). To learn more about finding housing, check out the Additional Resources section of our 10K Home Site.
