Description
The City of Indianapolis is seeking expressions of interest from qualified developers, planners, and consultants to propose adaptive‑reuse concepts for the historic Former Indiana Women’s Prison site (≈15.6 acre). Respondents must attend a mandatory site‑tour, submit a detailed EOI by the deadline, and demonstrate financial capacity to fund a mixed‑use redevelopment while preserving historic structures and complying with environmental covenants. The solicitation does not include a contract award at this stage; it is purely an information‑gathering exercise that may lead to future RFQs or RFPs.
• Mandatory site‑tour on September 4 2026 (closed‑toe shoes, liability waiver required).
• Questions must be submitted by September 14 2026; final EOI due October 16 2026.
• Proposals must preserve at least one historic building and address historic‑preservation covenants, environmental restrictions, and community‑impact goals.
• No budget or award amount disclosed; respondents must provide their own financing plan and demonstrate capability.
