The City of Chico is requesting Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) and conceptual proposals from interested and qualified developers or development teams to partner with the City for the potential revitalization and development of 1st & Main, a 2.44-acre mixed-use development in the heart of Downtown Chico, CA. The project will include a mixed-use development, parking, and areas for outdoor engagement. The City is looking for a developer with experience in public-private partnerships, vertical development, quality design, integration into existing community fabric, and mixed-use development. The selection process will involve three steps: review and scoring of SOQs, developer selection, and exclusive negotiation agreement. • The project site is located in Downtown Chico, adjacent to Big Chico Creek and Bidwell Park. • The City is looking for a developer who can provide a high-quality development that is financially feasible. • The project will include a mixed-use development, parking, and areas for outdoor engagement. • The City is interested in unique development ideas and land uses, such as a mixed-use development of housing, retail, and restaurant opportunities. • The project will serve as a gateway to Downtown Chico and will provide opportunities for arts and culture.
