Recent investment in public space and infrastructure has transformed the East Riverfront District from a disused industrial center into a dynamic destination, ranking among the most popular in the City, and setting the stage for further mixed-use development.
The City of Detroit in collaboration with the DEGC is seeking a qualified developer for the Stone Soap Building, a unique turn-of-the-century, former industrial structure one block north of the Detroit Riverfront. The development site is 0.76 acres and contains a building composed of three contiguous structures totaling 88,369 square feet.
This Request for Proposals and Qualifications (RFP/Q) is intended to retain a qualified developer for the acquisition and development of the Stone Soap building into a signature project that demonstrates leadership in design and development for the East Riverfront.
Interested parties are invited to submit a complete proposal by May 1, 2017 by 5:00 pm EDT.
