BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The City of Naperville currently owns and leases a number of properties in the vicinity of the Naperville Metra commuter train station, commonly referred to as the 5th Avenue Station. A map showing location of the parcels is attached. These properties were subject of planning and feasibility studies, as they are an important gateway to downtown Naperville and surround one of the city's commuter hubs.
The City is seeking to evaluate and potentially pursue opportunities for redevelopment of one or more of the properties to improve site utilization through mixed use redevelopment based on market conditions, financial principles, parking and transportation demands. The primary purpose of this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is to identify qualified development teams to partner with the City on visioning and redevelopment of the City-owned parcels in the vicinity of the downtown train station. While the RFQ asked development teams for potential concepts, the focus was truly on the qualifications of development teams.
