KINGSTON – The City of
Kingston has issued a request for proposals for the city-owned parcel
known as “Broadway Commons” at 615 Broadway.
The city is seeking responses from qualified developers to design, construct
and operate a mixed use development at Broadway Commons, specifically
housing and/or appropriate commercial and retail space, with public greenspace
or a public square.
Mayor Steven Noble said the proposals should align with the city’s
comprehensive plan and should demonstrate that the city and public will
benefit from the proposed projects.
“Since 2016, we have made great progress in establishing Broadway
Commons as a shared community space, holding the official launch party
for the Midtown Arts District, partnering with the Bruderhof and UPAC
to host a community celebration day, and honoring the late Pauline Oliveros
by naming the front greenspace of the property the Deep Listening Plaza,”
said Noble. “These activities have helped bring a renewed sense
of interest and hope for this property. I believe that we now have an
opportunity to attract a skilled developer capable of creating a new and
exciting addition to our community.”
