School Redevelopment Service

The Town of Brunswick, Maine is seeking a developer to purchase and redevelop its historic School property. This property is situated within the Federal Street Historic District, close to residences, businesses, cultural amenities, public transit, public parks, and Bowdoin College. The agency wants to solve the challenge of underutilization by transforming this historic asset into a residential or mixed-use property. The project aims to create a development that connects seamlessly with downtown and enhances the vibrancy of the Town's historic village center. The scope of work requires the selected developer to acquire the property and execute the physical redevelopment offsite. The buyer is requesting proposals that outline the development concept and financial offer, as no specific budget has been set. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency has scheduled a pre-bid meeting for June 4, 2026, to discuss the project details with interested parties. Bidders must submit all questions regarding the opportunity no later than June 18, 2026. The evaluation will focus on how well the proposed residential or mixed-use concepts align with the historic preservation and community integration goals of the Town.
