    Business Model

    As a private company without government subsidies, NorthStar's primary funding for construction costs comes through real estate. We leverage the increased land value from rail station construction by selling to developers for Transit Oriented Development. Ticket fares cover ongoing maintenance and staff costs, ensuring financial sustainability while creating walkable areas for an enhanced user experience.
