As of January 19, 2024, the selection process is still underway. A firm time for construction has not been established. *The closed solicitation has been included below for reference: The City of Casa Grande Arizona is now accepting expressions of interest for the acquisition and redevelopment of the properties located on W. Main Avenue from S. Katherine Street to S. Florence Street and between E. 2nd and E. 3rd Streets and Drylake and Toltec Streets in Downtown Casa Grande. The City will accept expressions of interest for mixed use developments, including retail, office, multi-family and business uses consistent with current zoning or a rezoning consistent with the General Plan. One of the City's goals is to continue and accelerate the revitalization of its historic downtown and therefore stimulate further investment. The City's vision for the project would include units for residential use and complimentary retail. However, if a developer or development team submits a plan with a scale that makes sense and is deemed to benefit the downtown area, it will be welcomed. This is being allowed in an effort to not stifle creative thought on the behalf of the developer or development team. The City of Casa Grande currently owns the subject properties. Please read the Request for Interest carefully, in that there are a number of policy goals that guide the redevelopment of the property. There are several steps in order to complete this RFI. The first step is a letter of interest in the project and a summary of your firms experience in accomplishing the goals of these properties. Second, all letters of interest will be evaluated by a committee which they will develop a short list of the interested parties. Third, each interested party that is on the short list can schedule a pre-submission conference with the city. Fourth, the actual development plan proposal will be due roughly a month after the short list is developed. Fifth, proposal presentations will be given to the committee followed by selection committee recommendations. Finally, negotiations for a development agreement with the selected firm and approval at a city council meeting. If you have any questions, please submit them in writing to Steven Weaver via email at Steven_Weaver@casagrandeaz.gov.
