The Tampa-Hillsborough County Expressway Authority (“THEA” or the “Authority”) owns strategically located real property assets in downtown Tampa, Florida, that present a significant opportunity for thoughtful redevelopment in support of THEA’s mission, long-term operational needs, and the public interest. This solicitation relates to two publicly owned sites: (i) the approximately 1.41-acre undeveloped Meridian Site located at South Meridian Avenue and East Whiting Street, and (ii) the approximately 1.42-acre THEA Office Site located at 1104 East Twiggs Street, currently improved with THEA’s headquarters and operational facilities. THEA is exploring development approaches that may include development of the Meridian Site, redevelopment of the THEA Office Site, or a coordinated approach involving both sites. In connection with any redevelopment of the THEA Office Site, THEA must maintain continuous administrative and operational functionality throughout any interim development period, whether through phased delivery, interim space, or delivery of replacement space prior to vacating the existing facility. THEA is issuing this Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) as Step 1 of a two-step, competitive procurement process to identify development teams with the qualifications, experience, capacity, and demonstrated understanding necessary to advance a complex urban development involving real property currently owned by THEA in a transportation-adjacent environment.
MANDATORY In person and virtual attendance on 7/17/26 at 10AM. Please email procurement to request virtual link.
