If a proposal depends in whole or in part on requested land use or zoning changes, the proposal shall clearly identify those requested changes in the development program materials and entitlement / regulatory narrative and shall include the proposer’s recommendation package for such changes.

No additional terms and conditions included with the solicitation response shall be evaluated or considered, and any and all such additional terms and conditions shall have no force or effect and are inapplicable to this solicitation.

The City of Doral invites proposals from qualified development teams for a public-private partnership to redevelop approximately 10 acres of City-owned land known as DORAL 10. The City seeks a high-quality, professionally managed, master-planned project centered on an age-restricted 55+ residential component and a complementary commercial component that together advance a clear public purpose, preserve long-term public ownership, and create durable municipal value.
The City intends to structure the transaction through a single 99-year land lease. The City will retain fee simple ownership of the land throughout the term. The selected proposer will be expected to finance, design, permit, construct, operate, maintain, and reinvest in the project throughout the lease term, subject to negotiated development milestones, operating standards, reporting obligations, revenue participation, credit support, and reversion requirements.
The City deliberately seeks proposals that are disciplined yet creative. The City is open to residential models that include 55+ rental multifamily, independent living, assisted living, or an integrated combination, provided the proposal demonstrates a coherent development concept, realistic economics, professional operations, meaningful community benefit, and long-term lifecycle stewardship. The City may consider a reasonable adjustment to the 55+ requirement at a later time within the Land Lease, based on a demographic review, and based on the City’s reasonable review of the at-that-time conditions. The review can be triggered by a written request by the Developer to review the restriction after notification by the City that a review might be considered.
Why this opportunity
• City-owned site in Doral that can support a unified master-planned development.
• Public-purpose-driven opportunity emphasizing 55+ housing, neighborhood compatibility, quality design, long-term stewardship of public land, and financeable municipal value creation.
• Flexible ITN format designed to invite multiple solution pathways while preserving clear non-negotiable principles.
• Transaction framework intended to be bankable, auditable, and adaptable through negotiations.
What success looks like
• A financeable project with a credible capital stack, realistic phasing, and a disciplined delivery schedule.
• A residential program that addresses the needs of residents aged 55 and older while allowing the market to demonstrate the most viable operating model.
• A complementary commercial program that supports the residential use, the surrounding neighborhood, and the City's long-term value objectives.
• A business structure that balances base rent, percentage rent, Equity Participation and/or transfer participation, and durable lifecycle stewardship over the full lease term.
• A final transaction that is attractive to the market, protectable by the City, and explainable to the public as an intelligent long-term use of City-owned land.

A. Procurement method and general intent
This solicitation is issued as an Invitation to Negotiate. The City knows the public outcome and transaction principles it seeks, but it is intentionally not prescribing a single private-sector solution. The ITN process is therefore designed to allow comparative evaluation, presentations, discussions, negotiation rounds, potential Best and Final Offers (BAFOs), and refinement of project requirements and business terms before final recommendation.
The City may shortlist one or more proposers and may negotiate concurrently or sequentially, as determined to be in the City's best interest. The City reserves the right to refine project requirements during negotiations, request clarifications, invite revised business terms, and seek additional detail regarding development, finance, operations, public benefit, and risk allocation.
Unless expressly stated otherwise in a written instruction of the City, scores from one phase do not automatically carry forward into later phases. Each phase is intended to evaluate the matters most relevant to that stage of the process. The final recommendation will prioritize overall best value, finance ability, deliverability, public purpose, and risk-adjusted long-term value to the City, and not merely the highest nominal rent number.
B. Teaming structure and eligible proposer profiles
The City will accept proposals from developer-led teams, operator-led teams with an identified development partner, or integrated development/operator teams, provided the proposal demonstrates a clear lead entity, coherent team structure, and sufficient collective qualifications to finance, entitle, develop, operate, and maintain the project.
• The lead proposer must identify the proposed development entity structure and the role of each key participant.
• If the proposer is not itself the intended operating entity, the proposal must identify the expected operating model and the relationship between the developer, operator, and capital partners.
• The City encourages teams to include the disciplines necessary to move efficiently from award through closing, including development, operations, design, entitlement, finance, legal, and property management capability.
