Kingston seeks developer for city-owned Broadway site

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.”
