Bayside/Midtown Properties Disposition RFP
Description
The council workshopped the draft Request for Proposals that The Boulos Company will use to market the four city-owned Bayside parcels for purchase or lease by one or more developers. Council direction — max housing density, a public park, long-term affordability preference, integrated parking, community-serving retail — will be incorporated before release.
Impact summary
Full build-out could add roughly 800-1,000 housing units to Bayside, plus green space and ground-floor uses — one of the biggest single development opportunities in the city.
