BNSF Property RFP Released

The 150 acre Burlington Northern Santa Fe property in South Tacoma – a property that seems to attract a lot of speculative attention in my emails – is set to be redeveloped.  BNSF has released the RFP to eight developers.  From the Business Examiner Daily:

BNSF will retain ownership of 15 to 20 acres of the property for a rail loading facility and sell the balance of the land to a commercial developer. Uses for the remaining land could include a logistics center, distribution and warehousing facilities and rail-dependent manufacturing. Other uses are possible, Petty said, but those will depend on the final plan agreed upon by developers and BNSF. Outlying regions could accommodate commercial or residential development.

If anybody has a copy of the RFP, I’d love to read it.
