Public/Private Partnerships

Irving, Texas has a long and distinguished history of farsighted urban planning and strong city management. The success of the Irving area is not solely attributable to the city’s strong leadership. It is Irving’s partnership with business that makes it one of the most successful cities in America. This type of partnership will ensure the success of the Transit Oriented Development District. The success of a TOD is not necessarily finding the right design or product mix, but typically working with private partners to find new ways to solve the complex design, finance and construction challenges that are inherent in most TOD projects.

Irving is looking for public/private partnerships to structure finance and develop plans that balance the public sector’s public policy objectives while maintaining a market- driven approach. This is essential to achieve the required returns by debt and equity investors and a key element to any successful partnership and development.
