The University of Central Florida (“UCF” or the “University”) is issuing this Invitation to Negotiate (“ITN”) to request proposals (“Proposals”) from a development team (each, a “Proposer” or “Developer”) that will consist of a developer (or joint venture), design firm (or joint venture), and contractor (or joint venture). The objective of this ITN is to enable the University to enter into an agreement with a Developer to activate the University’s campus edge along Alafaya Trail (the “Project”). The development partner will be tasked with creating one of the nation's premier university-edge mixed-use districts. Located at the front door of one of America's largest public universities, this opportunity represents the chance to shape a new destination serving students, faculty, staff, alumni, visitors, and the broader Central Florida community. As an outcome, the Project must generate enduring institutional value while delivering an exceptional campus experience. The University has identified three (3) potential sites for where development may occur. The Selected Developer will be engaged for a single Project on one of the identified sites with the potential for the partnership to extend to the other parcels pending the success of the initial Project and demonstration of continued market demand.
