The City of Tempe (“City”) herein invites all qualified and interested parties to submit proposals for the development of approximately 5 acres of City-owned land located at the southeast corner of Mill Avenue and Rio Salado Parkway in Tempe, Arizona.

Tempe is located in the geographic center of the Phoenix metropolitan area.  The City Property (defined below) is located in one of the largest concentrations of major employment centers in the Phoenix metro area. The City of Tempe has a population of approximately 192,000. The City Property is located close to the Tempe Beach Park, Tempe Town Lake, Arizona State University’s Tempe Campus and all of the benefits of the Downtown Tempe. The City is seeking creative, feasible proposals for transforming the City Property into a mixed-use reuse project that preserves the iconic mill features  with a preference that the property remains eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C, while also promoting walkability and integration with the City’s Downtown District.
