RFP Purchase/Redevelopment of 2426 South Ave & Princeton Ave

The City of Syracuse is soliciting proposals from development firms for the purchase and redevelopment of a City-owned site located at 2426 South Ave, Syracuse, NY 13207. The site is approximately 1.63 acres and was previously used as a bar/restaurant. The City is seeking proposals that display a proven ability to provide creative and inclusive land use and development strategies, return the site to the tax roll, and increase the City's tax base. The City also wants to create housing opportunities for Syracuse. Some key points to consider: • The site is zoned R1 Single Use Residential and has a history of non-payment of taxes and late fees. • The City is looking for developers with experience in mixed-use, mixed-income, and affordable projects. • The City has a Comprehensive Plan 2040 and a Land Use and Development Plan (LUP) that guide development in the area. • The City is encouraging respondents to incorporate green building practices and sustainable initiatives into their proposals. • The City has a goal of increasing the use of minority and women-owned business enterprises (MWBEs) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) in development projects.
