Description
The City of Wilmington is seeking qualified consulting firms to provide market‑feasibility analysis, economic‑incentive toolkit development, and parking/amenity studies to support the next phase of its Greater Downtown Master Plan. The work is organized into three phases: baseline assessment and strategic direction, a detailed roadmap with financial modeling, and final adoption‑ready documents. The consultant will coordinate closely with parallel Urban Design and Placemaking teams, use existing city data sets, and deliver a comprehensive set of deliverables that guide land‑use decisions, investment incentives, and implementation actions for two key downtown sites.
• Conduct market‑feasibility studies for the Northern Riverfront District and the 305‑319 Chestnut Street site, including use‑specific analyses and activation thresholds.
• Develop a parking inventory, utilization model, and scenario‑based projections, plus an economic‑impact and ROI model for proposed development strategies.
• Produce an incentive toolkit, cost‑ing framework, and phased implementation roadmap, and integrate findings into the city’s master‑plan adoption package.
