The City of Manchester hereby requests proposals from qualified real-estate developers for the acquisition and development of Lot 10-6, a City-owned parcel that comprises most of the land area of a 208-space municipal surface parking lot known as the "Hartnett Lot." This document is intended to provide interested parties with sufficient information to prepare and submit proposals that respond to the request. The City's goal is to redevelop the Hartnett Lot to provide as much affordable housing and public parking as is financially feasible in an architecturally pleasing and pedestrian-friendly way. Other uses, such as market-rate residential space, commercial space, public green space, and public art are encouraged, but not required, as part of the development plan. The Hartnett Lot is located in an area bounded by Lowell, Pine, Concord, and Chestnut Streets. A parcel map and aerial image of the lot are attached. It consists of slightly more than 2 acres. The site is entirely used as a municipal parking lot. The site is located in the center of an historic, civic area, with a cathedral, a park, the Manchester Public Library, and the New Hampshire Institute of Art nearby Any questions or concerns regarding the RFP must be submitted in writing (e-mail preferred) to: Matthew Normand at mnormand@manchesternh.gov or Office of City Clerk, One City Hall Plaza, Manchester, NH 03101.
