Status: Awarded

The Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority (NRHA) is issuing this Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) for Developer Partners and is soliciting proposals from experienced developers specializing in mixed-use redevelopment projects and various development projects. These include affordable and market rate housing, rental housing, homeownership opportunities and workforce housing.

This selection process under this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) will result in the selection of multiple Developer Partners. The successful parties will demonstrate through their respective responses that they possess the necessary qualifications and experience. Upon selection, the Developer Partner(s), in collaboration with NRHA, will be responsible for negotiation, acquisition, design, master planning, financing, pre-development and development activities, in accordance with an agreed upon plan.

After the selection of qualified Developer Partners, NRHA will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP), for specific sites to the selected Developer Partners. NRHA may, at its sole discretion, award more than one development site to a Developer Partner. Selection as a Developer Partner does not guarantee a subsequent award of a development site.

Interested firms or entities with a track record of success in the developing mixed-finance and mixed-income developments, particularly those capable of demonstrating successful experience with LIHTC application and development in Virginia are encouraged to respond to this RFQ.

NRHA seeks to partner with developer(s) committed to significant participation from minority and women-owned business (M/WBE), as well as participation from local and/or disadvantaged businesses.
