8 How is this possible? 27/6/18 Page 8

9 Planned by Government as a Connected City l l l Railway as the transport backbone High density development along railway lines Property development integrated with railway to support railway construction 27/6/18 Page 9

10 Transit-oriented Development (TOD) Approach for Planning of New Railway Corridors Comprehensively planned and implemented TOD development above and around a station Good connection to station by walkways & provision of convenient public transport interchange for feeders 27/6/18 Page 10

11 MTR Provides the First and Last Mile to Daily Trips Station site as Origin and Destination of travel Rail + Property Model à Sustainable Communities 27/6/18 Page 11

12 Why Rail + Property Model? 27/6/18 Page 12

13 The Challenge of Railway Funding Page 8

14 Rail + Property Funding Model Initial CAPEX Replacement CAPEX OPEX Railway Fare/ Other Revenue $ (NPV) Funding Gap Cash OUT Property development profit to fill new railway project funding gap Cash IN 27/6/18 Page 14

15 Financial Functions of Rail + Property Model: Capture Value-Add and Increase Ridership Property Seamless Connectivity àenhance Land Value (Source: (Source: Google Google Earth Earth,2015),2015) Enhanced Value + Increased Ridership = Funding Gap Natural Customers àincrease Ridership Railway 27/6/18 Page 15

16 Rail + Property Model Implementation Process 1) Ascertain rail funding gap 3) Land premium to Government Land premium based on Greenfield Site (i.e. pre-railway basis) Payable to Government at time of land development 5) Property value increases with railway presence 2) Assess amount of land rights required to bridge funding gap 4) Developer s contribution All or a portion of land premium Construction and other development costs 6) MTR Assess Corporation s amount of benefit land rights Share of property required to development profits bridge funding used to fund new railway gap
