The University of Hawaii has launched a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the development of a housing project in its Mānoa campus under a public-private partnership (P3) scheme.

The selected private partner will develop, design, build, finance, operate, and maintain a family-oriented mixed-use rental housing project that includes a child-care and commercial spaces components.

The project would be located on the 2.21-acre former site of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service building at 2570 Dole Street.

The development agreement and long-term ground lease will be negotiated between UH and the selected developer and would be subject to review and final action by the Board of Regents.

The submission deadline for the RFP is February 22, 2019.
