Short answer:Proximity to a landmark does not guarantee investment value. Convenience, views, crowds, noise, transport and entry price can offset one another.
Distinguish access and activity
Walk the routes and inspect event and non-event periods. Visitors are not automatically rental demand or a shop’s target customers.
Check what is already priced in
Use matched transactions before attributing differences to location. For planned landmarks, verify status and uncertainty. No causal study here establishes a fixed uplift.
Before deciding
- Observe busy and ordinary periods
- Separate operating from proposed projects
- Test advertised premiums against transactions
