City Moves A Step Closer on Development
A request from Denizen Partners regarding a proposal to develop the City-owned gravel parking lot behind the Radisson Hotel, was presented to the City Commission on May 22, 2018. The property has been listed for sale since middle of 2017. The City of Bismarck issued a RFP (Request for Proposal) to allow for the sale and redevelopment of this site. Denizen Partners submitted a proposal for a 3-story, mixed-use building with apartments and small-scaled ground floor retail space. The proposal includes the developers purchasing the land from the City of Bismarck. The City Commission recommended that city staff begin negotiating the price of the land with the Denizen Partners and report back.
