Downtown TIA

Development Opportunity

The City's overall strategy for this area is to leverage the momentum created by the DART light rail station and adjacent transit-oriented development (TOD) to make Downtown Garland an active focal point for the community.  The Downtown TIA offers the potential for: 

  • A robust transit-oriented development in an authentic, historic, small-town, urban setting
  • An expanded educational component with complementary retail and residential space
  • Live-work and other urban residential products
  • Lively, well-programmed public spaces

Key Assets
