City Moves Forward in Recruitment of Private Developers to Make Over 16 Sites

NEW YORK CITY-Following Mayor Giuliani's final State of the City Address promising to seek more private ownership and development of city-owned properties, a call is now out for RFPs on 16 sites.

NEW YORK CITY-In his final State of the City Address earlier this month, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani promised the city would continue selling off its properties in an effort to create more private development and ownership. In an effort to fulfill this promise, the mayor and the Economic Development Corp. began putting out the word yesterday (Jan. 23) that RFPs are wanted for 16 sites in three boroughs.

The mayor referred to the turnover of city-owned properties and the potential for development of even more sites, saying he wanted to see the city cut the number of its holdings even further. While he noted that over the course of his administration the numbers had dropped considerably, he said he planned to do more. Now, the city is seeking RFPs for industrial, retail and/or residential uses of approximately 777,000 sf of space.

The sites are located in Downtown Brooklyn; Rosedale, Queens; Kew Gardens, Queens; Bathgate Industrial Park, Central Bronx; College Point Corporate Park, Queens; East New York In-Place Industrial Park, Brooklyn; and Rockaway, Queens. The properties include municipal parking fields, industrial properties and an entire city block.
