Joslyn Center-Adjacent Residential Development Opportunity

The City is exploring the potential disposition and residential development of its vacant property adjacent to the Joslyn Center. Through this solicitation, the City seeks development concepts that respond to the site's size, location, and surrounding uses and demonstrate a practical path from initial planning through completed construction. The City's objectives include encouraging compatible residential development, making effective use of the available land, and identifying a development team with demonstrated experience delivering comparable projects. Proposed concepts should address neighborhood compatibility through thoughtful building placement, scale, architectural character, access, parking, and landscaping. The City is not prescribing a single preferred residential product type. Potential concepts may include single-family homes, small-lot development, duplexes, triplexes, courtyard housing, townhomes, multifamily rental housing, for-sale condominiums, or mixed residential formats. Concepts may also include an affordable, workforce, or attainable housing component, or limited complementary community-serving or live/work elements where permitted and appropriate. Proposers should explain why their concept is feasible and appropriate for the site, supported by market rationale, preliminary site planning, and relevant development experience. The City encourages proposals that demonstrate sensitivity to neighborhood context, desert-appropriate design, accessibility, and long-term project stewardship. The City will consider the proposed development concept together with the team's qualifications, relevant experience, implementation approach, and schedule. Proposers should clearly identify assumptions, anticipated approvals, and any requested City participation that could affect successful delivery of the project.
