BPO workers usually start their shifts at 9 pm where there is a scarcity in public transportation after their shift at 5 or 6 am. This is according to the study made by Jones Lang LaSalle Leechiu. Because of that, there were already rampant acquisitions, most of which were by Jones Lang Sasalle Leechiu, of properties near public transportation terminals to attract BPO business owners lease a space in their buildings. The primary reason why properties near public transportation are more highly valued than a property far from the public transportation terminal.

Actually, it’s a win-win situation for both the BPO companies and developers. This gives the chance for the BPO workers to choose what kind of public transport they want to ride whenever they go to the office.

Vermont, USA. Developers in the US these days are building subdivisions near organic farms. Just like what happened with the development of golf courses, there were a lot of subdivisions that were developed around the golf courses assuming that the homeowners will eventually play golf. Apparently, not all people who live near a golf course would play golf.

This idea gives an opportunity for an economic advantage among the organic farms owners and the subdivision owners. This will attract aspiring homeowners who want to live the healthy lifestyle.

Those individuals who own acres of land in Vermont convert their property into an organic farm in the hopes of some developer would be attracted to buy.
