Request for Proposals
Potential Surplus Property for Development
The City is considering whether to declare as surplus to the City’s needs, and then offering for sale
at fair market value, a certain City-owned parcel of land for the purpose of creating a vibrant land
use that will contribute to the City’s economic development goals and further the Renton
Downtown Civic Core Vision and Action Plan.
The land (Tax Parcel ID 5696000070) is currently subject to an Interlocal Agreement with King
County, and has been developed as a bus-only street for transit service. It is located between
Burnett Avenue South and Logan Avenue South in downtown Renton.
The City envisions the Site will be developed with a vibrant, family friendly, experience-based
business drawing high foot traffic on a daily basis. For the purpose of this RFP, “experience-based
business” means “a business that provides an activity or product for which a customer must be
present and on site to experience.” Experience-based business could include one or more of the
following: recreational facilities or athletic facilities, entertainment or educational facilities, or
other businesses offering immersive experiences (referred to as the “Facilities” or
“Improvements”) that will create an experiential use supporting and providing economic benefits
to the City and surrounding area but not competing with other uses or businesses in the downtown
area.
The City seeks Proposals from parties interested in designing, constructing, and managing/operating
the Facilities. The City welcomes Proposals to further the City’s economic development, tourism,
and support for local businesses.
Deadline for proposals: 4/1/2026 by 3:00 p.m.
