Request For Proposals #08-13

“Master Developer for Marina Central Village Development”

MST is requesting proposals from qualified firms or individuals interested in financing, designing, constructing and managing a 2.3 parcel of land located at 280 Reservation Road.

The successful proposal will meet the following objectives:

A. Provide the community, MST and the City of Marina with a new livable, pedestrian friendly, mixed-use community development integrated with the adjacent transit facility currently under construction by MST for use by transit customers and the Marina public.

B. Result in a successful land use lease, between the development team and MST, for the land upon which the development is to be built. MST anticipates retaining ownership of the land and executing a ground lease with the selected development team. However, MST may consider proposals to purchase the property.

C. Share revenue with and/or provide other financial benefits to MST to reduce the continuing operational costs for the agency.
