301 Main Street Future Use RFP

The City of Delta is seeking proposals for the future use of the 301 Main Street building, a historic structure in downtown Delta. The building has been used as the Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center, but the current lease expires on February 1, 2026. The City is looking for a private partner to ensure the building continues as an anchor to downtown Delta. Proposals should include an overview of the applicant's business experience, a vision for the long-term maintenance needs of the building, and a business plan for the proposed use or uses of the building. The City will consider all proposals, but will weigh heavily on factors such as the project's impact on the historic and cultural significance of the building, the applicant's financial ability to implement the project, and the competitiveness of the proposed offer. • The building is a historic structure and requires attention to preserve its historical significance. • The City has identified maintenance needs for the windows, and there are no known blueprints of the building. • Proposals can include a variety of uses, such as finance or cultural retail, food, and lodging establishments. • The City prefers to maintain ownership of the building with a long-term lessee, but remains open to all proposals. • Any improvements necessary to the building to accommodate the proposed use will be tenant-finished.
