The developers interested in the property include the commercial division of Lincoln Property Co., which bid $20 million; New Development Capital Partners, which bid $13 million; Charles E. Smith Realty Inc., which also bid $13 million; Avalon Bay, which bid $19 million; the residential division of Lincoln Property Co., which bid $23 million; Keen Development Corp., which bid $13 million with a zoning provision for $14.5 million; MDA Partners LLC, which bid $20.5 million; and Trinity Financial, which bid $13 million including a school built on site.
