| Infrastructure Type | Typical Value Uplift | Mechanism |
|---|---|---|
| Rail / light rail station (within 800m) | 10-25% | Higher density + end-buyer premium |
| Bus rapid transit / busway | 5-15% | Improved connectivity |
| Major retail / commercial centre | 5-10% | Lifestyle amenity |
| Hospital / University | 8-15% | Employment + housing demand |
| Road / motorway upgrades | 3-8% | Improved access |
For development sites, the uplift is amplified because infrastructure proximity triggers higher density allowances and stronger end-product pricing.
