Request for Proposal (RFP) for Master Plan for Five Priority Commercial Corridor Nodes in the Englewood Neighborhood,Chicago, Illinois - Community Desk Chicago




A collective group of nonprofit organizations in the Englewood community have joined

together to advance community-centered real estate development projects that

improve the quality of life for residents through jobs, housing, and better services and

amenities. The organizations want to leverage the estimated $200M in anticipated

investments in the coming years to provide a pathway for community wealth-building.

Specifically, the goal is to create an opportunity for residents to directly own and control

the various developments across Englewood through a community shared ownership

model, the Englewood Community Investment Vehicle (CIV).


The nonprofit organizations have been working in their respective programs to revitalize

the Englewood community in several areas: Economic, community and workforce

development; urban agriculture, corridor revitalization, housing affordability, small

business development, short and long-term planning and more. A Master Plan is

required to 1) assist the group in organizing and prioritizing the development projects

across five priority commercial corridors that have been organized by nodes, and 2)

identity appropriate development opportunities for a shared ownership model.


While the focus is on the commercial corridors, the Master Plan will also look wholistically at Englewood to identify other opportunities to enhance long-term economic development goals. For more details on the priority commercial nodes, see Section XII: Exhibits This RFP outlines Englewood’s history and progress, background on partner

organizations, project scope, submission requirements, evaluation criteria, and

deadlines.
