Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Silverton (“City) is soliciting Proposals from developers and development teams interested in partnering to develop the City-owned property commonly known as the Westfield Site (the “Property”). The property is located in Silverton, within the Urban Renewal Area. The Property is situated along Westfield Street and West Main Street and is approximately seven acres. Section 3 of this RFQ contains a full description of the property. The City would like to utilize a portion of the Westfield site for an affordable housing development to serve a mixture of demographics/income levels including a variety of unit types including studios, one (1), two (2), and three (3) bedroom apartments, cottages, and single level accessible. The structures are envisioned to be one or two stories tall and that would accommodate a wide demographic with accessible units. The idea is to start on two (2) of the seven (7) vacant acres with the intent to develop further in the future. The initial area is generally in the northwest portion of the site. The density range is 10 to 20 units per acre. The primary goal would be to provide housing affordable primarily to households at 60% AMI or below. (Based on the known funding sources, the City assumes this would be rental housing, but would welcome owner-occupied housing as well).
