The City of Chicago has issued Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to encourage the redevelopment of public land throughout Chicago.
Responses are evaluated based on the goals of the request and applicants’ financial capacity, relevant experience and demonstrated ability to complete projects of similar scale and scope. Shortlisted respondents are typically invited by DPD to form developer-design teams, engage with community residents and, upon selection, finalize project design and financing. Proposals are then subject to a formal review and approval process that includes City Council.
