(I-Newswire) August 19, 2010 - CHICAGO, IL, – The Redevelopment Commission of Michigan City, Indiana is currently seeking a master developer or team to submit qualifications to create a transformative mixed-use development on 25 acres in Michigan City. The site is located directly across Trail Creek from the Blue Chip Resort & Casino, four blocks from Lake Michigan (Washington Park), two blocks from downtown and four blocks from Lighthouse Place Premium Outlet Mall.

This Request for Qualifications process will result in a top-ranked firm/team that will work with the Redevelopment Commission to create and execute a development plan for the 25-acre Trail Creek Redevelopment Area.

Hunden Strategic Partners is working with the City to conduct the search and review qualifications from developers/development teams to design and construct as the project. Any firm interested in getting more information about the RFQ or in submitting a response to the RFQ should visit www.hundenpartners.com to download the RFQ, additional support material and any future addenda.

The City will host a site visit and pre-submittal meeting September 10.

Like most transformative mixed-use projects, a public-private partnership will likely be formed to create the optimal funding package. “A number of development and funding options have been identified and we look to the top-ranked developer to work with the Redevelopment Commission in assembling a compelling mixed-use project,” said Rob Hunden, President of Hunden Strategic Partners. “This site sits within walking distance of three of the region’s busiest tourist attractions, which together bring approximately 7 million visitors to Michigan City each year. A number of planning studies have been conducted for future development on the Trail Creek site and we look to a creative development team to bring their ideas for high-density development.“
