The City of Bristol, Virginia (the “City”), invites qualified developers to submit proposals for the purchase and development of two city owned properties

The City of Bristol seeks developers to purchase and redevelop two former elementary‑school sites—1425 Eads Avenue (former Highland View Elementary) and 185 Washington Lee Drive (former Washington Lee Elementary). The City aims to maximize site use, align with long‑term community goals, and increase the local tax base. Proposals may target one or both properties, and the City expects innovative, highest‑and‑best‑use concepts. • Properties are located in Bristol, VA with existing school facilities slated for demolition or adaptive reuse. • Developers must submit a full purchase and development proposal by the deadline of November 5, 2026. • Evaluation will focus on creativity, feasibility, alignment with community objectives, and projected economic impact.
