The Challenge
The City of Troutdale owns part of the Confluence site and wanted a master developer partner to build it out, chosen through a competitive, transparent process.
Our Approach
In our second phase of work on the Confluence site, we led the development offering. As prime, we shaped the development program and key elements of YBA's concept plan for the site, including the connection through the adjacent property. We advised on predevelopment analysis and due diligence, gave staff a starter set of evaluation criteria, and drafted the project-specific parts of the solicitation. We marketed the opportunity directly to developers through one-on-one interviews, a brochure, and a pitch deck, then helped the City review proposals, interview teams, and choose its partner.
Outcome
The offering drew formal proposals from qualified development teams. The City selected Capstone Partners, a local development company, as master development partner, and Capstone began planning the site.
