Case Study: Vistas del Parque - Transport Oriented Development (TOD)

At Eosis, we are pleased to share the Vistas del Parque case study, developed by Grupo Vinte in Guadalajara, Mexico, and documented for the Urban Land Institute (ULI) as an example of how Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) can simultaneously support housing affordability, sustainable mobility, and more efficient use of existing urban infrastructure.

The case study was developed with the participation of Jorge López de Obeso, Founder of Eosis and Co-Chair of ULI Mexico in Guadalajara, with the objective of documenting and communicating the strategies that made the project possible and, more importantly, identifying lessons that can be valuable to developers, public authorities, and real estate professionals in other cities.

Vistas del Parque demonstrates that delivering affordable housing within a consolidated city does not depend solely on subsidies. The combination of proximity to high-capacity public transit, reduced parking requirements, municipal incentives, more efficient land use, and public-private collaboration made it possible to deliver 72 homes in a well-connected area of Guadalajara. Located approximately 650 meters from the Tetlán Station on Guadalajara’s Light Rail Line 2, the project reduced its parking requirement by 75% compared with the conventional standard. 

For Eosis, contributing to case studies such as this one is part of a broader commitment: helping transform the experience generated by Mexican projects into shared knowledge for the real estate industry. Through our involvement with ULI, we seek to connect sustainability, building performance, and urban planning with real estate decisions that create economic, environmental, and social value.

As Co-Chair of ULI Mexico in Guadalajara, I believe documenting projects such as Vistas del Parque is particularly important because they demonstrate that TOD is much more than a mobility strategy. It can also be a powerful tool to improve housing accessibility, maximize the value of existing public investment, and create more compact, connected, and inclusive cities.
