KINGSTON – The City of Kingston has released a request for expressions of interest for the city-owned parcel known as “Broadway Commons” at 615 Broadway.
The city is looking for interest from developers to design, construct and operate a mixed-use development on this parcel. The city is interested in a mix of housing units and commercial/retail space. New development is also expected to preserve and/or enhance existing public greenspace on the site, city officials said.
“Broadway Commons, also known as the Former Kings Inn site, is a unique property that is ripe for redevelopment,” said Mayor Steven Noble. “In the heart of Kingston, this site has the potential to provide much-needed workforce and affordable housing, while also providing the opportunity for additional public and community space. We were previously unsuccessful in finding a developer in 2019, when economic conditions impacted those efforts. I am optimistic that we will be able to find the right partner who shares our city’s vision for this site now.”
“The redevelopment of this site is long overdue,” said Bartek Starodaj, director of Housing Initiatives. “I’m hopeful that this site will be redeveloped as a new anchor of vitality for the Broadway corridor and that new development will provide quality, affordable housing in one of Kingston’s most walkable locations. We’re looking for a vision that activates the streetscape and aligns with the needs of the city and neighborhood.”
The deadline is April 1. More info at: https://kingston-ny.gov/housing
