Real Property Housing Development Services

The City of Canton, Ohio, is seeking creative proposals for real property housing development services to redevelop city-owned property. The agency wants to transform currently vacant land to achieve its highest and best use while meeting local housing needs. Key priorities for this project include permanent affordability, sustainable building practices, and innovative housing models. The requested scope of work requires the developer to design and construct housing that is functional, aesthetically attractive, and compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood. The development must utilize environmentally friendly and sustainable principles in its design and construction. To maximize density within the physical design, the project must incorporate detached and multi-unit structures as necessary. Only onshore organizations based in the United States are eligible to submit proposals for this opportunity. The performance of the requested development work will take place offsite. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to define the financial parameters. The agency will evaluate proposals based on their ability to meet local housing needs, advance the specified priorities, and integrate with the surrounding community. All questions regarding this opportunity must be submitted to the agency no later than June 16, 2026.
