Site work for a mixed-use development in Ventura, California. Conceptual plans call for site work for a parking garage; restaurant; retail development; and sidewalk / parking lot.

Introduction The City of Ventura (City) is seeking submittals of qualifications from developers to design, finance, construct, and operate a community minded, high quality, marketable waterfront project, parking structure, and related amenities. Through this request for qualifications, the City seeks to identify a highly-qualified, financially-capable development team to potentially enter into a long-term ground lease with the City and perform the necessary services to develop and operate the facilities. Following a review of qualifications submitted by interested development teams, stakeholders within the City plan to interview those respondents it determines are best-suited to successfully develop and operate the waterfront project. Pending City Council Approval, the City ultimately anticipates entering into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement/Letter of Intent ("ENA" or "LOI") with the selected development team, and then executing a Development Agreement ("DA") and ground lease for the project. Goals of Request for Qualifications The City of Ventura (City) is seeking to identify a qualified developer to develop a waterfront project (with related amenities) and parking structure with active ground floor uses in downtown Ventura. The proposed project site is located just south of the California Plaza and Crowne Plaza hotel.
