Working on a scheme for the vacant Lakefront Boulevard site in Waterfront Village currently being offered for development? Good news- you have an extra month to whip up a plan to win the hearts and goodwill of BRO commentators. Unfortunately you have some competition. The deadline has been extended one month to December 10 at 11:00 am “due to heavy interest in the Request for Proposal Package,” according to the City.
Developer interest in the 240-260 Lakefront Boulevard parcel comes amid strong pre-sales at the Waterfront Place development underway nearby. The City has suggested a mix of market-rate housing with a green space component for the 2.4 acre property that includes a bit of waterfront frontage.
The Lakefront Boulevard parcel is one of two sites currently available in Waterfront Village. A November 9 deadline for proposals for 10-15 La Riviere Drive, a 1.4 acre parcel adjacent to Shanghai Reds and the Waterfront Village Center office complex, remains unchanged. Due to covenants, residential use is not permitted on the La Riviere site.
