Call for Ideas and Concepts - 300 Turners Crossroad - HOPE

The City of Golden Valley is soliciting proposals for development for our Home Ownership Program for Equity (HOPE) developments on city owned lots.

The City of Golden Valley is officially requesting creative proposals, visual concepts, and innovative ideas for a 13-unit owner occupied rowhome community at 300 Turners Crossroad North in Golden Valley. The City of Golden Valley in conjunction with Hennepin County is working on ownership of the land as it is currently shown as a right-of-way parcel.

The main objective of this Call for Ideas and Concepts (CFIC) is to gather broad, community-driven, and market-viable concepts from developers. This is a non-binding request intended to inform future formal solicitation process (like an RFP) and shape the final master plan.
