16-137 - Redevelop ES Armory Street

The City of Springfield is requesting proposals for the redevelopment of the properties known as E S Armory Street. The property is located in the McKnight Neighborhood. The property(s) consists of 4 distinct parcels on a 15,700 square foot lot.

TARGET AREA LOCATION

The property is located in the southwest corner of the McKnight Neighborhood. Although the section of the neighborhood where the property is located is primarily industrial, the area also has a mix of commercial and residential uses. The E S Armory locations are located within easy access to both Interstate 91 and Interstate 291 and the Mass Pike is also within a short driving distance to the E S Armory Street parcels.

The private sector has invested heavily in this area which has revitalized significant portions of this community. The site is within 1.5 miles to the City's downtown which houses many of Springfield's cultural amenities. The primary commercial corridor of the City runs along Main Street to the north & south. The Main Street corridor is characterized by numerous small stores and shopping centers and office buildings. These amenities include Symphony Hall, City Stage, the Library & museums at the Quadrangle and the new MassMutual Convention Center.

Armory Street also serves as the connecting point between the MassPike and the campus of Springfield Technical Community College and the Springfield Tech Park, home to several private office tenants including a significant customer service office of Liberty Mutual.

Given the locations of E S Armory Street and its proximity to Springfield's numerous assets, the city believes that this site offers a unique opportunity for redevelopment.

PROJECT PROGRAM PARAMETERS

The City is soliciting proposals from developers interested in acquiring and redeveloping the property. The Request for Proposals (RFP) has been developed to permit maximum flexibility to potential developers. Developers are requested to provide their own development concept plan consistent with surrounding land uses. Proposals shall also contain an analysis of the method in which the Proposer will mitigate the impacts upon transportation, utilities, the environment, etc. caused by the proposed project.
