Contact: Jim Kennedy 646-4076 ATTESTED November 28 , 1995 cc: Community Development PHIL BATCHELOR Redevelopment Agency AGENCY SECRETARY via Redevelopment Agency SKMG BY � , DEPUTY JK:1h sra20/phbarea4.bos The Agency has been approached by numerous developer interests regarding the availability of this site. To determine the best offer, the Agency initiated a process of developing a RFP. An element of the consultant' s work program was to conduct a market assessment. Because the real estate market has been soft, initial market assessments required a significantly more in-depth market analysis. The subsequent market analysis indicated that there was sufficient strength in the local real estate market to warrant marketing the property with specified conditions . Among the conditions suggested was a Request for Qualifications, prior to requesting developer proposals . On October 3, 1995 the Redevelopment Agency designated BRIDGE Housing Corporation/The Martin Group/Holliday Development as the developer for Area 4 at the Pleasant Hill BART Station. This additional $7, 000 will enable the Agency to work with SKMG and complete negotiations with the developer in order for a project to proceed.
