Description
The New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), in partnership with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), is seeking proposals from qualified developers (Respondents, each a Respondent) for the sale and redevelopment of 11-24 Jackson Avenue in Long Island City, Queens.
On a site that spans over 58,000 square feet, this project is an opportunity to create a thriving mixed-use and mixed-income development with ground floor retail, a community facility, and much-needed open space. The project represents an unprecedented opportunity for qualified developers to make a lasting, meaningful impact on our city. While the expectation of this RFP is to sell the site, NYCEDC and the MTA also reserve the right to negotiate alternate disposition structures. Please contact 1124JacksonAve@edc.nyc or visit www.nycedc.com/RFP for more information.
NYCEDC plans to select a developer on the basis of factors stated in the RFP which include, but are not limited to: the quality of the Proposal; the extent to which the Project supports a vibrant mixed-income housing program that contributes to the City’s goal of fostering economically diverse neighborhoods; the quality of the proposed commercial space, community facility space, and publicly accessible open space to serve a rapidly growing neighborhood population; the Proposal’s financial viability and the successful experience of the Respondent’s team in executing similar projects, and the proposed fee.
It is the policy of NYCEDC to comply with all federal, state and City laws and regulations which prohibit unlawful discrimination because of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status and other protected category and to take affirmative action in working with contracting parties to ensure certified Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises (MWBEs) share in the economic opportunities generated by NYCEDC’s projects and initiatives.
This project has Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation goals, and all respondents will be required to submit an M/WBE Participation Proposal with their response.
