Location Basics
Urban development refelcts basic economic forces Highest density use demands highest rent Space leases to those who pay highest rent As cities grow, RE uses of similar character cluster *Orderly pattern of land use generating greatest aggregate economic benefit* Cities have clusters …
Bid-Rent Curve
maximum rent a potential real estate space user would be willing to pay, or bid, for a location
Von Thumen Economic Model
The Isolated State Thunen Ring Model
The Isolated State
All that matters is transportation cost. Most expensive land always in center
Weaknesses of Isolated State model
Differential transportation costs Variations in topography Soil fertility Changes in demand or price of the commodity
Concentric Circle Theory
1920's by Ernest Burgess CBD, transportaton zone, lower income residential, middle to upper residential
Sector Growth Theory
Homer Hoyt CBD Lower income Heavy Industry--Light Industry Middle Income Upper Income--middle income again
Multiple Nuclei Theory
Harris and Ullman--Los Angeles New urban centers are created within residential areas, represent satellite communities(small CBDs) 1940's Growth Vectors
Growth Vectors
Growth occurs along: Transportation lines Gaps between major highways Ever expanding circles around a hub of commercial activity Clustered areas within reach of employment centers Where money is concentrated By Water
Axial Growth Theory
Developed in 1930's Builds on the concentric growth pattern by adding transportation routes characterized by axes CBD is most used Travel time is key for growth Land tends to develop along major transportation routes
Central Place Theory
Walter Christaller and August losch 3 Basic concepts: Threshold population Higher versus lower order goods and services Trade area or range of a good or service Rent minimization or income maximization will drive location decisions
WL Garrison and BJ L Berry
Expanded on Central place theory Range of a good: distance people will travel for a good or service Threshold: the minimum # of purchasers necessary to support a good or service from a central place Walmart: 25000 Academy: 75000
Centrifugal vs. Centripetal forces
Developed by Charles Colby in 1933
Centripetal
Attract a group toward the central areas Employment
Centrifugal
Move one group away from central zone to periphery Crime, congestion, rent levels
Linkages
Connections between locations or relationships that require transport movement of goods or people people to work, entertainment, school transport industrial or retail products
Linked Sites
Locations between which people or things are moved
Transfer costs
Costs of transportation between linked sites Explicit & Implicit
Explicit costs
Costs measurable in $'s
Implicit costs
Disutility of moving between sites
Processing Costs
Natural site advantages soil fertility, climate, ect.
Urban Development
Patterns of usage of real estate in cities. Functional zones are not perfectly circular Primarily an economic result Controlled by govt. through zoning Impacted by natural features Transportation lines
Market for Rental Space
Competitive bids for best space create highest rents. Rent tends to decline as distance from 100% location increases Overlapping of uses
