RFQ: Real Estate Development and Planning Consultants for Empire State Development
/The New York State Urban Development Corporation d/b/a Empire State Development’s (“ESD) mission is to promote a vigorous and growing state economy, encourage business investment and job creation, and support diverse, prosperous local economies across New York State through the efficient use of loans, grants, tax credits, real estate development, marketing and other forms of assistance.
As part of the 2024 State of the State and the FY2025 Enacted Budget, Governor Hochul outlined a vision for addressing New York State’s housing crisis to make the State more affordable and livable for all New Yorkers. The Real Estate and Planning Division of ESD is focused on bringing this plan to fruition by redeveloping underutilized State-owned sites to create housing opportunities. Work done by ESD to redevelop those sites includes, but is not limited to, conducting community engagement sessions, developing master plans, creating design guidelines, analyzing financial feasibility, performing environmental reviews, acquiring appraisals, and conducting site due diligence. Additional information about ESD and past and current projects underway may be found on ESD’s website at www.esd.ny.gov.
