January 28, 2013: Request for Expressions of Interest: South Island Development on Governors Island

The Trust for Governors Island is excited to release this Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) for the development of 33 acres of prime real estate on Governors Island.  A broad range of developers, nonprofits, institutions, and other interested groups are invited to offer visionary ideas for this truly unique property.  The Trust welcomes commercial, educational, and cultural uses that take advantage of the unmatched potential of this Island and make a meaningful contribution to its future.  

This RFEI is completely independent from the currently open RFP for Adaptive Re-use of Historic District Buildings.  Respondents who are developing proposals for that RFP process should continue to do so.  This RFEI is only for development zones on the southern part of Governors Island, and does not involve the Historic District.

Release Date: January 28, 2013

Site Visit and Information Session: February 8, 2013
Attendance at the Site Visit is strongly recommended for all potential respondents.
