100 Gold Street RFP

New York City Economic Development Corporation (“NYCEDC”) on behalf of the City of New York (the “City”) is pleased to release a request for proposals (“RFP”) seeking proposals from qualified parties (“Respondents”) for the purchase and development of an approximately 95,000 square foot site located at 100 Gold Street in Manhattan (Block 94, Lot 25) (the “Site”).

On August 21, 2024, New York City Mayor Eric Adams signed Executive Order 43: Prioritizing Housing Production and Accelerating the Production of Housing on City Sites, compelling the City to identify public land suitable for new housing development to address the City’s housing crisis with a “moonshot” goal of building 500,000 homes over the next decade. As part of this effort, Respondents have a unique opportunity to develop a mixed-income residential project in lower Manhattan to address the City’s housing shortage.

NYCEDC plans to select a Respondent on the basis of factors stated in the RFP which include, but are not limited to, program and design, financial and schedule feasibility, respondent qualifications and experience, and economic impact.
