Alessandro Alley (West) Residential Development Opportunity

The City of Palm Desert, in partnership with the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency (SARDA), is seeking qualified residential developers to submit qualifications and conceptual development proposals for six vacant parcels (approximately 1.73 acres) located on Alessandro Alley (West). The solicitation is an initial‑stage RFP that requests only qualifications, concept plans, and implementation approaches—no purchase price or financing details are to be included. Proposals may address the parcels individually, as grouped subsets, or as a combined site, and must demonstrate compatibility with the Downtown Edge Transition Overlay, desert‑responsive design, and potential affordable‑housing components. Evaluation will focus on developer experience, design quality, feasibility, and alignment with city objectives. The deadline for questions is October 12 2026; final proposals are due November 2 2026 via the OpenGov portal. • Six vacant parcels (≈ 75,357 sq ft total) in Palm Desert, CA • Desired residential infill: single‑family, townhomes, duplexes, multifamily, condos, or mixed formats • Emphasis on neighborhood compatibility, desert‑appropriate architecture, water‑efficiency, and possible affordable‑housing component • No financial offers required at this stage; financial capacity may be requested later • Submission electronically only; deadline 2:00 pm PT, November 2 2026 • Primary contact: Mariela Salazar, Management Analyst ([email protected], (760) 574‑5284)
