City of Somerville Issues RFP for Experienced Development Team
The City of Somerville and the Somerville Redevelopment Authority (SRA) have issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for an experienced development team to redevelop 90 Washington St., a nearly four-acre site that represents one of the largest remaining transit-proximate redevelopment opportunities in Somerville. The Boston suburb is seeking a partner capable of delivering a dense, mixed-use project that includes housing, activated ground-floor commercial space and publicly accessible open space.
The SRA acquired the property by eminent domain in 2019 for $8.8 million, initially planning a public safety facility and complementary private development. Following litigation, a court ruling increased the property’s value to $35.3 million plus interest.
In January 2025, the city shifted its strategy to offer the full parcel for private redevelopment. The parcel at 90 Washington St. is currently zoned for civic use; the city will work with the developer to rezone it.
The deadline for proposals is April 10. The SRA intends to select a development partner by July 13.
