Torode got into all sorts of financial trouble with Arriva, because his costs went way above what his condos could sell for. Infrastructure upgrade contributions (sewer and 4 St interchange) were a big part of it.
Beltline development pays a levy calculated on street frontage for necessary community infrastructure upgrades. There's also a density bonusing system, including cash components for off-site infrastructure improvements through the Beltline Community Investment Fund.
