RFQC-Builders and Developers for Redevelopment and New Construction

The DeKalb Regional Land Bank Authority (DRLBA), a public entity formed through a partnership between DeKalb County Government and the City of Lithonia, is seeking qualified builders, developers, and development teams to participate in the redevelopment and construction of residential and community-serving projects on its acquired properties. These properties include vacant, abandoned, and tax-delinquent lands that DRLBA manages with the goal of revitalizing neighborhoods, stabilizing communities, and promoting equitable development across DeKalb County. Through this solicitation, DRLBA aims to establish a pre-qualified pool of developers capable of delivering a range of projects such as affordable single-family homes, workforce housing, rehabilitation of existing residential structures, mixed-use developments, and neighborhood-scale commercial or community facilities. The request for Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) is open to both for-profit and nonprofit entities, including Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs). Submissions must be received by June 29, 2026, and inquiries can be directed to the primary contact, Shirley Chaney. This initiative is intended to foster productive reuse of underutilized land and support the creation of diverse housing and community infrastructure in Georgia. The solicitation underscores DRLBA’s commitment to sustainable neighborhood transformation by leveraging local development expertise to address community needs through strategic redevelopment projects.
