RFP for the Future of the Crummell School Redevelopment

WASHINGTON - May 24, 2016 - PRLog -- Washington D.C.'s Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development is seeking an innovative team to redevelop the Crummell School building and surrounding vacant lot.  Located in the heart of the New York Avenue Great Streets Corridor, the site benefits from close proximity to Union Market, Union Station, and the H Street Great Streets Corridor, with a host of sit-down restaurants, breweries, and distillers, as well as prized industrial space nearby.

The Crummell Site was a pilot project in the District's new OurRFP process. A public workshop meeting, online public engagement forum, and follow-up public meeting were completed in order to understand the public's major goals for the redevelopment of this site. Proposed developments must include these major goals and attempt to incorporate as many of the additional community objectives identified in this solicitation as possible.

Based on feedback received through the OurRFP process, residents and community members desire a project that reflects the important value of these sites to the neighborhood and embodies the following characteristics: recreation and community uses or elements to be included in the development proposal; job training or workforce development component for District residents; activated public spaces with active uses; mixed use development, including neighborhood serving retail use; cultural or historical reference to the Alexander Crummell School and the Ivy City Neighborhood; if residential is proposed, it should be a mixed-income residential component that maximizes affordability.

Proposals are due 06/24/16.
