SacRT has advanced its transit-oriented development (TOD) at the University/65th Street and Florin/Meadowview light rail stations, culminating 30 years of strategic planning. The agency completed purchase and sale agreements for key properties, including University/65th Street Station with Symphony Development, Arden Way with Community Housing Works, and Cemo Circle with USA Properties. A pivotal moment was in November 2019 when SacRT finalized the purchase of its first TOD site at the University/65th Street transit center, paving the way for the Wexler student apartment complex.

This project, undertaken by a joint venture including The Martin Group, Symphony Development, and AECOM Canyon Partners, opened a 223 college student-focused housing units alongside ground-floor retail.

Located next to one of SacRT’s busiest transit hubs—supporting over 40,000 light rail and 30,000 bus riders monthly—the development also brought the modernization of bus stops on 67th and Q streets. These enhancements, featuring ADA-compliant crosswalks, have significantly improved transit accessibility and safety.
