Development
Jim Thares provided a background on the receipt of RFQ questionnaires. The
questionnaire was provided to seven developers on April 23, 2021. Deephaven
Development was the only firm that completed the questionnaire by the deadline date
of May 4, 2021. The EDA members reviewed the responses and the consensus was that
they are highly motivated and have an approach of solving problems as challenges arise.
They are already vested in the community through the Deephaven Development
occurring in the Chelsea Commons area. The EDA asked staff to prepare a Preliminary
Development Agreement (PDA) for consideration at the June 9, 2021 EDA meeting.
Staff also proposed that EDA hold a Workshop to further discuss Block 52 vision details,
unusual tasks and issues, timeline and outline funding sources and procedures. The
developer and several staff would be involved in the Workshop.
