Description
The City of Wilmington is seeking qualified firms to conduct market‑feasibility and economic‑analysis services supporting its Downtown Master Planning effort. The work is divided into three phases—baseline assessment & strategic direction, development of a detailed roadmap (including parking studies, incentive toolkit, and fiscal impact modeling), and final adoption‑ready deliverables. The selected firm will collaborate with parallel urban‑design and placemaking consultants, provide data integration, and produce actionable implementation plans for two key study areas: the Northern Riverfront District and the 305‑319 Chestnut Street site.
• Conduct comprehensive market‑feasibility analyses for residential, office, retail, and hospitality uses in the target districts.
• Develop a parking inventory, utilization model, and scenario‑based projections.
• Create an economic‑incentive toolkit, fiscal impact models, ROI analyses, and a phased implementation roadmap.
• Deliver data books, matrices, memos, spreadsheets, and a Council briefing deck; all work products become City property.
• Coordinate with Urban Design and Placemaking consultants and support City‑led community‑engagement activities.
