RFP25C-1: 5903-5923 Calumet Ave & 6005-6060 Calumet Ave

The Hammond Redevelopment Commission is seeking qualified commercial developers to purchase and develop two contiguous parcels on Calumet Avenue (5903‑5923 & 6005‑6060 Calumet Ave.) in Hammond, IN. The city will sell the land (total valuation $252,500) to the winning bidder(s), who must submit a 5 % earnest‑money deposit and, within 30 days of award, sign a Development Agreement, followed by closing of the land purchase within 120 days. The developer is responsible for delivering shovel‑ready, mixed‑use retail/commercial sites that meet the Commission’s design criteria (architectural compatibility, pedestrian‑friendly streetscape, landscaping, and “wow” factor). The RFP calls for a full proposal package including bid price per acre, conceptual designs, experience, financial capacity, and insurance.
