The Brooklyn Park Economic Development Authority (EDA) is seeking proposals for the redevelopment of multiple parcels of EDA-owned land in Brooklyn Park. The EDA is interested in uses that maximize the tax base with a particular focus on creating dense, urban, walkable environments. There are a total of five properties available in the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) which are summarized below. Developers are encouraged to propose on one or more parcels and indicate a preference ranking with their submission. The EDA is seeking a partner/s to develop these sites who is/are willing to push the boundaries on the current market and be a creative partner that thinks outside the box in order to positively engage and transform communities. Some ideas for positively engaging the community include community benefits agreements, local hiring initiatives, and innovative development projects. Developers who can incorporate some of these ideas into their submission will score higher during the evaluation process. Additionally, the EDA is committed to workforce equity and inclusion. Small, BIPOC, women, and veteran owned business are encouraged to respond to this RFP or subsequent bidding opportunities as project partners, prime contractors, or subcontractors. One site, the former Metro Transit Park & Ride site, is located at 4201 95th Ave N at the intersection of Hwy 610 and Noble Parkway. The other 4 sites are adjacent to each other and collectively referred to as the Oxbow sites. They are located at the intersection of Oak Grove Parkway and Welcome Ave.
