Description
SEPTA is conducting an industry‑review RFI to gather market insight and technical input for a future Request for Proposal that will develop a Transit‑Oriented Community on roughly 1.4 acres at 120‑128 East Chelten Avenue in Germantown, Philadelphia. The agency seeks written responses that address development team experience, market outlook, concept ideas, affordable‑housing financing, and implementation considerations. No award or contract is implied at this stage; responses may lead to individual meetings and will inform a subsequent solicitation.
