The City of White Plains is releasing this Request For Expression of Interest ("RFEI") to solicit interest from qualified parties in the redevelopment of three City-owned properties and one White Plains Urban Renewal Agency-owned parcel (together the "Development Site") totaling approximately 4.5 acres along the easterly side of the White Plains Metro-North railroad station, within the White Plains Transit District. The purpose of the RFEI is to solicit interest and redevelopment strategies for the Development Site that will advance the goals and objectives of the recently released White Plains Transit District Strategic Plan (www.wptransitdistrict.com).

This project represents a significant development opportunity for the City. It also presents a unique opportunity to enhance critical pedestrian connections between the Transit District and adjacent neighborhoods including Battle Hill, Fisher Hill, and Ferris Avenue as well as reinforce the existing Main Street connection to the downtown core. All development concepts must be consistent with the six primary community-driven planning principles developed through significant public input during the Transit District Strategic Plan process including: Density, Economic Development, Open Space, Parking, Pedestrian/Bicycle, and "Placemaking."
