Expression of Interest for Property in Historic Downtown Gresham

The City of Gresham is seeking expressions of interest from developers, private businesses, institutional users, and community-based organizations for the potential lease or purchase of a prime commercial building with dedicated off-street parking in Historic Downtown Gresham, with responses due September 2, 2026.

This is a land-use and real-estate transaction rather than a goods or services procurement. The City invites a broad range of entity types — for-profit developers, commercial tenants, nonprofits, and community organizations — to propose uses and terms for the property. The scope encompasses both the building itself and associated parking facilities in the historic downtown district, suggesting flexibility in redevelopment concept and occupancy model.

The expression-of-interest format indicates an early-stage market-testing and partner-identification phase prior to formal leasing or sales documents. Respondents should clarify their organizational capacity, intended use or tenant profile, proposed term (if lease), and any infrastructure or community-benefit components that align with the City's redevelopment objectives for the historic core.
