This is a Request for Qualifications document issued by the Talent Urban Renewal Agency (TURA) and the City of Talent, Oregon, for a private development partner to redevelop a 4.2-acre Gateway Site located at the southwest corner of West Valley View Road and South Pacific Highway in Jackson County. The procurement seeks development teams capable of creating a mixed-use project primarily focused on medium and higher density housing with strong preference for homes affordable to households earning 80-120% of Area Median Income. The site is zoned Highway Central Business (CBH) and located in a Climate Friendly Area. Responses are due by 5:00 PM PST on November 14, 2025, with both hard copy and electronic submissions required. The development scope may also include a public-private partnership food business incubator to support economic development and community resilience following the 2020 Almeda Fire.

Evaluation criteria include housing affordability, commercial development potential, environmental sustainability, urban design, and development experience. TURA is offering financial incentives to support the development, including land value write-downs, potential involvement in a Housing Project Revolving Loan authorized under Senate Bill 1537, and System Development Charge deferrals. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the available documentation. The procurement appears open to qualified development teams with demonstrated experience in mixed-use and affordable housing projects, with particular preference for developers experienced in community rebuilding and resilient design. No precise award value or contract term is specified; the 4.2-acre mixed-use development scope implies a significant investment opportunity requiring comprehensive documentation of financial capacity and previous project successes.
