Queen Creek is a growing community with a new development opportunity now available to help define the town’s Downtown Core -- a request for proposal (RFPs) for town-owned land.

The vision for the Downtown Core is to further develop a vibrant and active district that complements the culture and heritage of the community and provides a range of venues that celebrate all that is special to Queen Creek.

This strategy includes pedestrian-friendly developments with the creation of shaded and engaging pedestrian walkways, as well as architecture and character distinctive to Queen Creek. With the update of the Town Center Plan, future developments should implement strategically placed parking, and uses that will support a community.

RFP No. 22-029 includes six sites totaling approximately 6.8 acres located along Ellsworth Loop Road between Ocotillo Road and Victoria Lane, adjacent to the Queen Creek Library and the Communiversity. The development should include mixed uses that are geared toward pedestrian-oriented development that extend the vision for the Downtown Core.

The RFP is available on the town’s website, QueenCreekAZ.gov. Proposals (electronic submittals only) are due by 4 p.m. on Tuesday, June 21.

A virtual pre-proposal meeting will be held on Thursday, April 28 at 10 a.m. To RSVP for the meeting, contact the Downtown Development Manager at Jennifer.Lindley@QueenCreekAZ.gov. The deadline for questions is 5 p.m. on Monday, May 23. Questions should be submitted through the town’s online portal.
