E-0326 Real Estate Development Opportunities

The Tampa-Hillsborough County Expressway Authority (THEA) is seeking qualified development teams to evaluate and potentially redevelop two downtown Tampa properties: the 1.41‑acre Meridian Site (currently undeveloped) and the 1.42‑acre THEA Office Site (currently housing THEA headquarters). The solicitation is the first step in a two‑step competitive process, requiring teams to demonstrate expertise in complex urban development, ability to maintain ongoing agency operations during any redevelopment, and capacity to propose coordinated or separate development strategies. The award will enable THEA to select a partner capable of delivering a mixed‑use, transportation‑adjacent project that aligns with long‑term operational needs and public interest. • Two publicly owned sites totaling ~2.8 acres in downtown Tampa. • Requirement to keep THEA’s administrative functions operational throughout any interim construction phase. • Competitive RFQ process to identify teams with proven urban development, planning, and project delivery experience.
