Broadway Request for Qualifications

The City of Aurora is requesting qualifications and concepts for the purchase and renovation of buildings owned by the City located at South Broadway. Specifically, the City is seeking responses from a single or combination of experienced residential and commercial developers/businesses/users/retailers/restaurants willing to enter into a public-private partnership/joint venture/outright sale per the principles and project goals. The City desires a repurposing of the buildings for retail, restaurants, apartments, and other uses that will complement and capitalize on their location in the heart of downtown Aurora. The unifying element sought is excellence and experience in delivering a superior product. The City will work with the selected company/team in the spirit of a public-private partnership, the structure of which will emerge as the economics and planning aspects come closer.

The City of Aurora thanks you for reviewing this RFQ and responding with your ideas and insights. Despite efforts to minimize speculative work, we recognize the effort that it could take to submit; it is not the intent of the City to create a time-consuming exercise but rather to unleash a creative response that sets in motion the development of these properties as a national model of public/private symbiosis.

An informal City of Aurora Project Evaluation Committee (PEC) will be established to review all submitted materials and to select a short list of finalists who will be invited to present their qualifications and the framework of a proposal.
