District Court Project

 

On June 17, 2015 the SRA released a request for proposals (RFP) for sale and redevelopment of the former District Court property at 65 Washington Street. This process was mutually agreed upon by the City, SRA, and the Commonwealth's Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM) via a memorandum of understanding entered into by these parties.

The SRA received proposals from three developers. It held three public meetings to respectively designate finalist proposals for consideration, interview project teams, and select a final and alternate proposal. The proposal selected by the SRA calls for a mixed-use building with 61 residential condominium units, of which six (6) will be affordable and 14 will be three-bedroom units, 82 underground parking spaces, and 8,463 square feet of retail/restaurant space on the ground floor. The developer, Diamond Sinacori, LLC of Boston is currently performing due diligence on the site prior to entering into a land disposition agreement with the Salem Redevelopment Authority.
