The Mayor’s Strategic Economic Development Advisory Committee (SEDAC), in coordination with the City of Newburgh’s Office of Planning and Development, is seeking developers to respond to a ‘Request for Proposal’ (RFP) to redevelop an iconic City-owned property - commonly known as the ‘City Club Building’ - at 120 Grand Street.

The City Club Building is located in the heart of Newburgh’s East End Historic District. Built between 1852 and 1857, this distinctive brick and sandstone building - based on a collaborative design by Andrew Jackson Downing and Calvert Vaux - was originally built as the home/office of Dr. William Culbert.

In the early 20th century, the building was greatly expanded to accommodate the needs of a new owner: the Newburgh City Club, an organization for local businessmen and politicians. In the 1970s, it was purchased and renovated by a private developer, only to succumb to a devastating fire in 1981.

The City of Newburgh seeks a developer with the imagination, means, and experience to return this truly exceptional building to useful life while balancing the City’s need for projects that advance equitable economic development.

The RFP is available for viewing at the Planning & Development’s departmental page on the City of Newburgh’s website: https://www.cityofnewburgh-ny.gov/planning-development/pages/rfqs-request-for-qualifications-rfps-request-for-proposals

Responses to this RFP must be submitted by Friday, October 23, at 3 p.m.
Questions from potential respondents should be directed, in writing, to the Office of Planning and Development: planning@cityofnewburgh-ny.gov.
