EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The City of Las Cruces has issued a “request for proposal” and is seeking a qualified master developer to lead redevelopment of about 84 acres of City-owned land in the East Lohman corridor.
The goal is to turn that tract into “a walkable, mixed-use neighborhood center with residential, health services, commercial, civic, and open space uses,” the City said.
The project site is located south of East Lohman Avenue, between Roadrunner Parkway and Sonoma Ranch Boulevard, across from MountainView Hospital.
The property is positioned for redevelopment consistent with the City’s adopted East Lohman Development Plan and the Elevate Las Cruces Comprehensive Plan, the City said.
This is a “major opportunity to help shape the future of one of Las Cruces’ fastest-growing areas,” the City said.
The City is looking for a development team with the experience and capacity to deliver a high-quality, mixed-use destination that creates jobs, expands housing options, and strengthens long-term community value, it said in a news release.
The East Lohman Development Plan “envisions a vibrant neighborhood center anchored by a mix of uses, including medical and health-related activity, housing options, and supporting commercial and civic destinations. The plan emphasizes complete streets, multimodal connections, open space and trails, and protection of key natural features such as arroyos and view corridors, the City said.
Through this RFP, the City is seeking proposals from experienced development teams capable of delivering a phased, performance-based master development approach that includes:
A connected, walkable street network and supporting infrastructure
A balanced mix of residential, commercial, hospitality, civic, and open space uses
A strategy to coordinate with and complement nearby medical and employment activity
Sustainable urban design and green infrastructure
A clear financing approach and demonstrated capacity to execute across multiple phases
