The Research Triangle Foundation of North Carolina (RTF), administrator of the Research Triangle Park (RTP), and GoTriangle, the Triangle’s regional public transportation provider, are seeking to enter joint development agreements with a qualified development team for the development of the Triangle Mobility Hub (TMH). Situated within RTP, TMH will contain GoTriangle’s publicly-funded relocated Regional Transit Center and, subject to the RTP 3.0 long-range planning and RTP rezoning initiative, include a robust privately funded mixed use development program. Experienced teams are invited to respond confidentially to this request. The site is a 19.3-acre assemblage containing two parcels (REID 157814 and 157830), located at the intersection of NC-54 and the North Carolina Railroad (NCRR) near S. Miami Boulevard. Just threequarters of a mile from Hub RTP, RTP’s new downtown, the site is poised to be a critical component of a multi-modal, transit-oriented corridor along NC-54. This project builds on RTP’s robust, 50-year planning initiative, RTP 3.0, and capitalizes on future zoning and land use changes in RTP. To assist in the construction of the new regional bus facility at the site and other transportation infrastructure components, GoTriangle was recently awarded $25 million from the US Department of Transportation through their highly competitive RAISE grant program. Receipt of this RAISE grant demonstrates not only the federal government’s belief in the project, but also the commitment of local and regional partners to the project’s success. The TMH site is also adjacent to proposed bus rapid transit service, the planned Triangle Bikeway, and a future potential passenger rail station on the Amtrak Piedmont route. RTF and GoTriangle are seeking an experienced development team that can successfully deliver: 1. A publicly-funded transit center and associated public improvements; and 2. A privately-funded robust mixed-use development program that is successfully integrated (vertically, horizontally, or both) with the new transit facility on the TMH site.
