The Town of Provincetown is soliciting proposals from qualified developers to design, construct, and sell mixed‑income ownership housing on two adjacent town‑owned parcels (approximately 0.4 acre) at 26 Shank Painter Road and 15 Browne Street. The project must comply with local zoning that permits up to four stories when 25 % of units are affordable, and must deliver at least 24 residential units (studios, 1‑ and 2‑bedrooms) with a strong emphasis on affordability (80 %–150 % AMI) and first‑time homebuyer eligibility. The developer will enter into a Purchase & Sale Agreement and a Land Development Agreement, assume all design, permitting, construction, and financing responsibilities, and work with the Town’s lottery process for affordable units. The Town may provide up to $4 million in direct/indirect subsidies, and expects completion within three years of contract execution.
