Redevelopment of former Quinnipiac Real World STEM School – 805 Quinnipiac Avenue, 460 Lexington Avenue, and 3-5 Runo Terrace New Haven, CT 06513

The City of New Haven’s (the “City”) Economic Development Administration has issued this Request for Proposals (“RFP”) to seek project proposals, including qualifications and conceptual plans, for the adaptive reuse or redevelopment of the former Quinnipiac Real World Math STEM School site , comprising 460 Lexington Avenue (AKA 805 Quinnipiac Avenue) and 3-5 Runo Terrace , in the Fair Haven Heights neighborhood of New Haven (the “Site”). The City is seeking to select a respondent who presents a vision, strategy and detailed proposal that will transform the Site into a vibrant, community-serving asset that integrates with other land uses in the area and reflects one or more of the City’s legislative priorities aimed to create good jobs for New Haven residents, enhance public safety, create quality affordable housing and advance health equity and environmental justice for all. The City of New Haven will select a respondent that is qualified to both plan and execute, not least related to exceptional design and a financing strategy recognizing that community and stakeholder involvement is critical to the project delivery process. The selected respondent will be expected to secure public approvals, demonstrate market viability and complement the ongoing renaissance of the City and the Fair Haven Heights neighborhood. Given the size of the Site and the potential for multiple uses, the City of New Haven will entertain long-term lease and sale options as well as responses with a mix of uses, provided the respondent presents a unified vision, plan and clarity of organization with one lead developer.
