Description
The City of Wilmington is seeking qualified firms to provide market‑feasibility and economic‑analysis services that will support the downtown master‑planning effort. The work is divided into three phases: baseline assessment and strategic direction, a detailed roadmap with parking studies, incentive toolkits, and fiscal impact modeling, and finally adoption‑ready documentation for council approval. Coordination with parallel Urban Design and Placemaking consultants is required, as is a strong emphasis on community engagement and the development of actionable implementation plans.
• Conduct market‑feasibility analysis for two key downtown parcels (Northern Riverfront District and Chestnut Street site) covering residential, office, retail, and hospitality uses.
• Produce a comprehensive parking inventory and demand model, economic‑incentive toolkit, and ROI/pay‑back analyses.
• Deliver a phased implementation roadmap, design standards, and adoption‑ready documents for City Council, while collaborating with Urban Design and Placemaking teams.
