The City of Apache Junction is seeking developers for a new project in its downtown district. A request for proposal has been released for a 10-acre site, which the city acquired earlier this year. The site is available for purchase or ground lease for commercial development. More information about the request for proposal can be found on the City of Apache's website.
The 10-acre site in Apache Junction offers several advantages for developers, including 900 linear feet of frontage along SR-88 (Idaho Road) and its designation as an "Opportunity Zone," which could benefit investment. The City of Apache also provides developer fee credits to help offset building permit fees.
The city council has adopted the updated Concentrated Downtown Master Plan to develop downtown Apache Junction with shops, restaurants, and hospitality spaces. The plan aims to create a space for residents, workers, and visitors. Developers must submit proposals by January 9, 2025, to the City Clerk’s Office, according to the City of Apache.
