Development Trends
The Development Trends on TOD Corridors series annually tracks all development projects with $1 million in added building value, providing a clear picture of how and where investment is growing, especially across Cuyahoga County’s 22 TOD Corridors.
2026 Edition Key Findings
The 2026 Edition of the Development Trends on TOD Corridors shows that new investment in TOD continues to grow in Cuyahoga County. For example, 2025 saw the highest level of TOD investment ($324m) since tracking began in 2019.
This growth reflects a rising interest in creating walkable, mixed-use corridors and neighborhoods. It also points to a sustained demand for housing, retail, and employment options while opening the door for more people to use transit as part of their everyday travel.
