Former Indiana Women’s Prison

The City of Indianapolis is seeking expressions of interest for the adaptive reuse and mixed‑use redevelopment of the historic Former Indiana Women’s Prison site (≈ 15.6 acre). Respondents must demonstrate experience in historic preservation, provide conceptual plans for re‑activating the campus, and show financial capacity to support a large‑scale project. The solicitation is informational only—no pricing is required at this stage—but the City will later evaluate concepts for potential RFQ/RFP issuance. • Mandatory site‑tour attendance (July 24 or August 7, 2026) and signed acknowledgement required. • Deliverables include experience qualifications, proposed uses, financial analysis, community‑engagement strategy, and MBE/WBE participation plan. • Historic preservation covenants and an environmental restrictive covenant limit ground‑water use and require preservation of all existing structures.
