Consultant Services, Acquisition Fund Manager RFEI

The New York City Economic Development Corporation is seeking market input on the feasibility of appointing a Fund Manager to provide below‑market bridge loans and environmental‑review assistance for nonprofit organizations undertaking real‑property acquisition projects funded by City capital. This is an informational solicitation; no award will be made from this RFEI, but the responses will shape a future RFP for a Fund Manager. The effort focuses on financing mechanisms, loan structuring, and guidance through regulatory processes for nonprofit real‑estate development. • Objective: assess interest and gather ideas for a fund‑management solution supporting nonprofit acquisition projects. • Scope: potential provision of low‑interest bridge loans and environmental‑review navigation services for CapGrants projects. • Deliverables: written responses outlining capabilities, proposed loan terms, compliance processes, and any innovative financing models; no contract award at this stage.
