The City of Gladstone, Michigan, seeks developers for several parcels in its Downtown Development Authority along the Lake Michigan shoreline on Little Bay de Noc. The nearly 34-acre site presents an opportunity to offer new-build housing options within walking distance to downtown Gladstone. The asking price for all parcels is $824,500. The City may consider reductions to this price in support of an optimal development plan.

The city's preferred development for this site would:

• Create new, for-sale residential options in a combination of single-family detached, duplex, and stacked condominium formats;
• Include at least 10% of units as accessible and barrier-free;
• Offer site layout and building design that respects and complements the aspirations and tradition of Gladstone;
• Allows for city-owned and maintained waterfront and linear park connecting to the 5 miles of linear park connecting the city;
• Offer residences ready for occupancy within two years of property sale;
• Little to no need for payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) or other long-term tax abatement.

Preference will be given to projects with environmental sustainability components such as green development techniques, porous pavement, etc.
