Bryant Commons / CRA-Owned Property Disposition

Description

Two developers made unsolicited offers — $511,000 and $93,000 — for CRA-owned land where they'd build affordable townhouses or walk-up apartments, possibly housing for hospital staff. The board let staff start negotiating with the top bidder, but the deal has to come back for final approval.

Impact summary

If the deal closes, expect roughly $5-10 million in private investment on land that's mostly vacant today — with an affordable housing component.

Sale of Bryant Commons CRA Property

The CRA could sell its land at 9th Avenue East and 3rd Street East for $511,000 to a developer planning affordable townhouses or walk-up apartments — potentially near $5-10 million in private investment. But the appraisal came back at $850,000 including two rental houses the appraiser was told to exclude, and the board wants that fixed before any deal.
