Station Area Development

Anticipating the Rail Runner’s arrival to Santa Fe, Albuquerque Developer Infill Solutions built 15 three-story, live-work lofts adjacent to the South Capitol Rail Runner depot and blocks from the Railyard district in 2008. The 600- to 1014-square-foot lofts represent a notable departure from typical Santa Fe density patterns, and are marketed as the city’s first new commuter-oriented residential development.

 

South Capitol Station Goes Green
The New Mexico Rail Runner Express uses solar energy — a clean and renewable energy source — to provide the electricity needed for the day to day operations of the commuter rail system. The photovoltaic system at the South Capitol station provides approximately 85 percent of the electricity needed to power the station's lights, communications system, and other electrical uses. This renewable energy replaces the need for the current fossil fuels used for the generation of electricity and reduces greenhouse gases.
