INTRODUCTION
The City of Durango (“City”) owns a 1.656-acre parcel of property located in the Rivergate Planned Development between Rivergate Lane, Rivergate Place, and Sawmill Road (APN 566732106004). The City is soliciting Letters of Interest and Qualifications from experienced and creative developers, or organizations, with the necessary expertise and experience with public-private partnerships to design, entitle, and develop a housing project which aligns with and achieves Innovative Housing and Economic Development goals of the City of Durango organization.
The City of Durango is looking for a partner with a compelling vision for the site and who has demonstrated experience in designing, entitling, and constructing affordable and workforce housing development projects to meet community goals, in accordance with the terms, conditions, and specifications contained in these documents.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF PROJECT
The overarching goal of this Request is to explore the feasibility of establishing a creative and cost-effective public-private partnership that will result in a project that achieves the multifaceted goals of the City by making improvements to an underutilized City asset in a unique neighborhood. This Request will ideally identify a partner to work with the City, other community entities, and potentially with adjacent property owners in the Rivergate Subdivision to develop an innovative project which provides up to 31 units of affordable housing on Lot 4. The City intends to donate Lot 4 to the winning response to this RFQ, however, the City also holds the Right of First Refusal on the adjacent Lot 5 (APN 566732106005). Additional points will be allocated to responses where the developer intends to purchase Lot 5 and develop it alongside Lot
4. Lots 4 and Lot 5 are zoned for a maximum density of 19 units per acre. Developing Lot 4 could achieve 31 units, whereas the two lots could together accommodate up to 71 units.
City goals have been identified in the 2024 Strategic Plan. To accomplish these goals, the City desires to explore opportunities to partner with a private or non-profit entity to develop a housing project which contains a mix of mutually beneficial uses and enhances this site.

SITE LOCATION
The site is situated off of Highway 3 between Rivergate Lane, Rivergate Place, and Sawmill Road, and has immediate access to City utilities. This site is located within the Rivergate Planned Development adjacent to the Rivergate Lofts and Animas Surgical Hospital. The site is located across the river from the Animas River Trail, with a footbridge providing direct access from the property to the trail. The parcel is currently zoned “Planned Development” (PD) as it is Lot 4 of the Rivergate PD which stipulates a unique zoning district for the affected lots. The property is within Durango City Limits and is identified in the above map.
Page 5 of 14 rev. 6/3/2025
SITE BACKGROUND
The subject lot is known as “Lot 4” within the Rivergate PD filing, platted in 2003. Lot 1 located to the West of Lot 4 consists of the Rivergate Lofts which hosts numerous tenants, as well as a variety of businesses. Lot 2 to the Southwest of Lot 4 is the location of Animas Surgical Center, a local physician-owned medical facility. The Rivergate area was planned and approved in 2003 for residential and commercial development. The City of Durango is the owner of Lot 4 and Rivergate III LLC is the owner of Lot 5 of the Rivergate PD. The location is in the City of Durango and zoned Planned Development. Land use and density is established as Mixed Use up to 19 dwelling units per acre, allowing for up to 71 residential units between Lots 4 and 5. Potential unit types include townhomes, condominiums, apartments, and commercial. The Rivergate development was created to provide amenities including the Animas River and access by way of the bridge to the Animas River Trail. In addition, there is a community park that provides an open space area and access to the river. These amenities by the original Rivergate development reduce the need for additional onsite amenities.
In November 2024, the Durango City Council approved allocating unspent American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) money that was earmarked for affordable housing. The ARPA funds were originally allocated to the City in 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In June 2024, the U.S. Department of Treasury updated and expanded eligible uses of ARPA funds for affordable housing initiatives. Allocating ARPA dollars to the acquisition of this land for affordable housing aligned closely with Durango’s Strategic Plan for Innovative Housing and Economic Development, which seeks to close the affordability gap, promote multigenerational and mixed-income communities, and sustain Durango’s unique character. The City of Durango successfully closed on the property in December 2024 and is now seeking a development partner with the experience and capacity to build affordable and workforce housing.

INVITATION
The City is seeking Letters of Interest and Qualifications from experienced and innovative developers or organizations with the expertise and capacity to partner in a public-private initiative to create a vibrant, well-designed, and contextually appropriate housing project. While the project should be primarily residential, complementary commercial uses that align with the City’s goals may also be considered. The overall project objectives are to:
(i) Develop a vision and conceptual plan for the development of a housing project on the approximately 1.665-acre site, ideally incorporating the adjacent 2.121-acre site (Lot 5) into the plan, and an explanation of how the proposal achieves stated community goals.
(ii) Create a mutually acceptable business plan including financial modeling, funding stack, and a development pro forma to develop the proposed project.
(iii) Identify and explain any barriers or hardships that might require additional City subsidies or incentives aside from the land identified; and
(iv) Identify specific terms for a public-private partnership with the City to develop a project on the parcel identified above.
The developer would be expected to handle all aspects of the development process, including due diligence activities, planning, engineering, entitlements, securing funding, and construction management. The City will provide support as requested and appropriate as part of the partnership effort.
SCOPE OF WORK
Respondents should begin defining a feasible project for this property which aligns with the community’s priorities, works within the context and constraints of the neighboring properties, and takes advantage of various financing opportunities, including federal and state programs, toward the goal of creating a flourishing, attractive housing development to activate Lot 4. The City is looking for a compelling vision to put the property to beneficial use.
While the City does not have a prescribed development concept for the parcel at this time, a sample conceptual site plan is linked below to illustrate potential uses and inspire ideas for development. The current land use designation is “Planned Development” within the Rivergate Planned Development which allows a wide variety of potential land uses as described herein. The City may, at its discretion, support amending the PD Agreement to accommodate unique project proposals which align with the context and goals of the City.
The City encourages and prioritizes for-sale/ownership housing projects. The City’s affordable and attainable housing goals should be considered. Affordable, owner-occupied housing opportunities align with the City’s adopted Strategic Plan, goals, and housing plans. These housing goals target income levels ranging from 70% to 120% of the Area Median Income (AMI), with a priority on attainability for 100% AMI households. The selected housing project will be subject to a deed restriction, the terms of which will be negotiated between the City and the selected developer prior to recordation. For reference, an example deed restriction is provided via the link below.

The Scope of Work includes (but is not limited to):
• Developing a vision and conceptual plan for the development of a housing project in this location in partnership with the City and clearly identifying how the project will address the community’s housing goals with an attractive and innovative project;
• Creating a development plan and timeline for implementation of the project in partnership with the City;
• Defining and estimating project costs along with a proposal for how the project could be funded, including requests if seeking federal, state, or local contributions; and
• Including a cost-effective program for the long-term management and maintenance of the project, when developed, leased, and/or sold.
The City of Durango intends to donate Lot 4 to the selected developer as part of this project. However, the donation of said property is contingent upon the developer meeting specified performance milestones which will be defined during contracting. The City expressly reserves the right to withhold transfer of ownership of the property if the selected developer fails to meet agreed-upon development milestones within the required timeframes. Respondents should anticipate the inclusion of a reversion clause in the final contract.
