Description

New York City Economic Development Corporation (“NYCEDC”) invites qualified real estate brokerage firms to provide exclusive commercial leasing services for food and retail uses at the Staten Island Ferry’s St. George Ferry Terminal and Whitehall Ferry Terminal. The selected consultant will be responsible for marketing, negotiating, and leasing designated retail spaces within the terminals, supporting NYCEDC’s efforts to activate key civic assets along Staten Island’s North Shore in alignment with the North Shore Action Plan and evolving neighborhood context.

Operated by the New York City Department of Transportation, the Staten Island Ferry carries approximately 45,000 passengers on an average weekday, offering a unique retail opportunity within heavily trafficked civic infrastructure serving commuters, tourists, and visitors. The St. George Ferry Terminal contains approximately 19,600 square feet of retail space, and the Whitehall Ferry Terminal contains approximately 7,500 square feet, with all in-place leases anticipated to expire or be eligible for renewal by 2029. NYCEDC anticipates awarding a contract to one New York State–licensed brokerage firm with demonstrated experience in commercial retail leasing, for an initial term of twelve (12) months commencing in June 2026, with up to two one-year extension options at NYCEDC’s discretion.

NYCEDC plans to select a consultant on the basis of factors stated in the RFP which include, but are not limited to: the quality of the proposal, experience of key staff identified in the proposal, the proposed leasing approach and methodology, demonstrated successful experience in performing services similar to those encompassed in the RFP, and the proposed commission schedule.

It is the policy of NYCEDC to comply with all federal, state and City laws and regulations which prohibit unlawful discrimination because of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status and other protected category and to take affirmative action in working with contracting parties to ensure certified Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises (“MWBEs”) share in the economic opportunities generated by NYCEDC’s projects and initiatives.
