Request for Proposals (RFP): Former School Buildings Available for Redevelopment

In June 2025, the City of New Haven's Board of Education determined the following former public-school buildings are surplus to the system and returned to the care and custody of the City of New Haven with the intention of disposing them for redevelopment via a competitive process.

The City's Economic Development Administration is coordinating the redevelopment program for both schools, and the official Request for Proposals will be posted on the City's procurement page, City of New Haven, CT Procurement Portal in the near future. The information below is provided for informational purposes only as we look to raise the profile of this important redevelopment opportunity.

• Quinnipiac Real World STEM School - 805 Quinnipiac Avenue/460 Lexington Avenue

Redevelopment Proposals should reflect the City's legislative priorities, including:

The City welcomes proposals from the public for innovative and impactful ways to repurpose these properties.
