RFP #02-2025: Kathryn and San Mateo
Request for Proposals (RFP) Now Open for Mixed-Use, Multi-Family Housing Project
The City of Albuquerque’s Metropolitan Redevelopment Agency (MRA) has a new development opportunity in the Near Heights Metropolitan Redevelopment Area. A Request for Proposals (RFP #02-2025) has been issued for a City-owned, 2.4-acre site located at 1100 San Mateo Blvd. SE, just north of the newly opened Albuquerque Community Safety Headquarters and a planned community marketplace.
What We’re Looking For
MRA is seeking bold and transformative proposals that will help meet local housing needs and activate this key property. The RFP invites qualified developers to submit plans for a multi-family housing project, with the opportunity to include mixed-use components such as:
- Grocery stores
- Daycare facilities
- Health clinics
- Retail shops
- Wellness studios
- Office spaces
There are no income restrictions for the housing component—proposals can include affordable, market-rate, or a mix of both rental and for-sale units. Bonus points will be awarded for proposals that include a viable grocery store concept, as this is a top priority for the surrounding community.
Project Goals
This development is intended to:
- Close housing and service gaps in the Near Heights area
- Support the goals of the Near Heights Metropolitan Redevelopment Plan
- Contribute to neighborhood revitalization and small business development
- Increase access to affordable and diverse housing options
