The City of Yuba City is issuing an RFI to gauge interest from qualified developers, investors, and partners for the redevelopment of several “catalytic” mixed‑use sites. The goal is to create vibrant districts that combine retail, hospitality, office, residential, and public‑realm components, leveraging existing assets such as a former K‑Mart site, historic warehouse “Sheds,” and a vacant county complex. Respondents must submit a PDF expression of interest outlining their experience, financial capacity, proposed development approach, and how they would add value to the city’s vision. The City may later issue a formal RFP, negotiate joint‑venture or ground‑lease agreements, or pursue other transaction structures with selected parties.
• Target sites: former K‑Mart (≈13 acres), adaptive‑reuse warehouse “Sheds,” and a 55,000 sf county complex.
• Desired uses: mixed‑use including retail, dining, entertainment, hospitality, multifamily, office, research/innovation, and public spaces.
• Submission deadline: 4 PM Nov 30, 2026 (PDF via Public Purchase).
• Key evaluation criteria: relevant development experience, financial strength, public‑private partnership expertise, design quality, and community benefit.
• No guaranteed award; the RFI is purely informational and non‑binding.
