City of Chandler Request for Proposals

The City of Chandler, Arizona is seeking proposals for the development of the City-owned property known as Site 6, which is located at the northwest corner of Arizona Avenue and Chicago Street. The City’s vision for this site is an urban, mixed-use project that incorporates modern architecture and amenities into Historic Downtown Chandler. The project may include a variety of components, including commercial, cultural, entertainment, hotel, institutional, office, restaurant/retail, residential, supporting parking and other compatible uses. The City’s current policy also calls for the Chandler Historical Museum to be located on the site.

The City has seen extensive redevelopment in the Downtown in recent years and numerous projects are at various stages of development. These projects include the construction of over 130 townhomes, new court facility, new City Hall, new Chandler Historical Museum, as well as roadway, circulation and utility improvements. Chandler has experienced phenomenal population growth over the past few decades – with an eight-fold increase since 1980. An educated workforce provides the skilled labor needed by technology-based companies that make Chandler home, including Intel, Freescale, Microchip, Motorola, Orbital Sciences, and Avnet.

The City of Chandler invites firms to review the complete Request for Proposals package at its website and to consider submitting a response. To view the RFP Document, click here.
