RFP – Purchase and Residential Redevelopment

The Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority of the County of St. Louis (“LCRA”) is a political subdivision of the State of Missouri organized pursuant to Chapter 99 of the Missouri Revised Statutes for the purposes, among others, of rehabilitating, redeveloping, and renewing real property for residential, commercial, or mixed-use for the economic benefit and social welfare of St. Louis County. Consistent with its organizational purposes, the LCRA owns certain residential and industrial, real property parcels located in the City of Wellston in St. Louis County, Missouri. The St. Louis Economic Development Partnership provides staff for the LCRA.

The LCRA issues this Request for Proposals (“RFP”) to purchase and complete a residential redevelopment of the property located at the 6300 block of Wagner Avenue in the City of Wellston, St. Louis County, Missouri 63133 (the “Property,” further identified and depicted in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference). The Property contains approximately 2.8 acres on either side of Wagner Avenue, consisting of 27 residential lots.

The Property is easily accessible by public transportation via the Wellston MetroLink Station and is located one block south of Page Avenue, about 3 miles from Interstates 70 and 170. The LCRA has worked with the City of Wellston to develop and approve a redevelopment plan for Wellston, which includes the redevelopment of the Property. PGAV Planners conducted a review of the City of Wellston to evaluate the current conditions and its need for redevelopment and issued a report entitled the “Wellston Empower Plan” (“Empower Plan”). The Empower Plan is designed to facilitate the redevelopment of Wellston into productive commercial, industrial, and residential uses, including related parking, improved pedestrian and vehicular access, and recreational facilities. The LCRA and Wellston have approved the Empower Plan, which is available at this https://stlpartnership.com/real-estate/lcra/. The Empower Plan anticipates residential use for the Property.

The intention of this RFP is to solicit proposals from developers (“Respondents”) that will contract to complete the purchase and residential redevelopment of the Property consistent with the Empower Plan (the “Redevelopment”). Other terms and conditions may be developed in response to specific proposals and incorporated into agreements that may be necessary to implement the Redevelopment.
