Station Case Study:<br />
Mocking Bird Station<br />
Dallas, Texas<br />
Mockingbird Station is an example <strong>of</strong> a<br />
successful use <strong>of</strong> TOD to create a new<br />
pedestrian oriented node <strong>of</strong> development<br />
around a transit <strong>station</strong> in an o<strong>the</strong>rwise<br />
automobile oriented environment. The<br />
development includes 211 apartments,<br />
137,000 sf <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice space and 178,000 sf<br />
<strong>of</strong> retail space. The project was successful<br />
in bringing new users to <strong>the</strong> Dallas transit<br />
system and in introducing higher density<br />
development adjacent to transit to <strong>the</strong><br />
Dallas region. The <strong>station</strong> is also a good<br />
example <strong>of</strong> using a combination <strong>of</strong> <strong>station</strong><br />
architecture and landscape improvements<br />
to connect a grade separated <strong>station</strong> to its<br />
surrounding urban context.<br />
