Rogue Feasibility Study

The Port of Newport, Oregon is requesting proposals for a feasibility study on the highest and best use of the former Rogue Brewery building at 2320 SE Marine Science Drive, with proposals due September 10, 2026. The study will evaluate preservation potential, redevelopment opportunities, and community impact to maximize the property's value and inform Port decision-making.

The scope encompasses property assessment (structural integrity and utilities evaluation), market analysis (demand and absorption rates for potential uses), regulatory and zoning review, financial feasibility modeling with preliminary cost estimates and return-on-investment projections, and risk assessment aligned with Port strategic goals. Potential uses to be evaluated include residential, commercial, mixed-use, cultural, and institutional development. Deliverables are a comprehensive feasibility report with comparative analysis of alternatives, a recommendation for optimal highest and best use supported by data analysis, a conceptual development plan with preliminary financial projections, and cost estimates for planning and construction of the top-recommended options including revenue and job creation projections.

The estimated project timeline is 6–8 weeks from initiation, subject to data availability and stakeholder input. No contract value, contract term, or incumbent information is provided in the source materials.
