TDI Equity Investment Program

TDI Equity is the most significant real estate-specific tool in the TDI District toolkit. We use the TDI Equity Investment program to support the catalytic transformation of commercial properties with potential to spur additional transformative development in and around TDI Districts. Through the program, MassDevelopment invests in near-term projects that activate ground floor and commercial spaces that will have significant economic impacts within a TDI District; are consistent with Commonwealth and Agency priorities; engage and build capacity in local communities and with partners; catalyze market demand and support TDI District goals; and lack other sufficient funding sources to proceed.

Eligible districts and workplan summaries:

Attleboro, Barnstable, Fall River, Holyoke, Lawrence, Lowell, Lynn, New Bedford, Pittsfield, Revere, Springfield, Taunton, and Worcester.
