The City of Boulder is seeking an innovative partner (or team of partners) to develop city-owned properties through purchase or lease agreements on the “East Bookend” of its downtown Civic Area: home to the Dushanbe Tea House and Boulder County Farmers Market, adjacent to Boulder Creek and just blocks from Pearl Street Mall and the University of Colorado campus.
As part of a city-wide effort to rethink Boulder’s urban core, the Civic Area Plan envisions this block and its surroundings as central to a food and culture-focused hub of urban living connected to active recreation, lively commercial spaces and iconic views of the Flatirons.
The city plans to release a Request for Proposals (RFP) later this year, which will invite interested teams to submit more detailed development concepts and partnership structures. The RFP process will allow the city to evaluate specific proposals and identify partners capable of delivering a project that aligns with community priorities.
