KINGSTON – The City of Kingston has issued a Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) to partially or fully redevelop the municipal parking lot at 65-67 N. Front Street.
“The objective is to return this parcel of North Front Street to the original look and feel of a historic Main Street,” said Mayor Steven Noble. “We put the parcel up for RFP in 2019 and didn’t receive any proposals. Now, we are interested in hearing from developers with proposed projects that will integrate with the surrounding neighborhood and Stockade Historic District, that possibly keeps some of the existing parking, while significantly expanding our housing and commercial opportunities.”
The property at 65–67 North Front Street is an approximately 0.7-acre site in the Uptown Business District. The lot was created in the 1960s to serve as a municipal parking lot with roughly 60 spaces, and it has recently received significant green-infrastructure improvements.
The site is located within the Stockade Historic District, listed at the local, state, and national levels in 1975, and is subject to review by the Historic Landmarks Preservation Commission.
The City of Kingston seeks submissions from qualified respondents demonstrating the technical, design, and financial capacity to deliver a large-scale redevelopment.
Under the City’s recently adopted form-based zoning code, the site is zoned as T5 Main Street. This allows for a wide variety of uses and building types and for higher density residential and/or mixed-use development. The City is seeking a development partner that can deliver creative solutions to reduce reliance on traditional on-site parking, lowering both development costs and environmental impacts.
The municipally owned N. Front/Crown Street parking lot is not part of this RFEI. The city has no plans to offer this property within an RFEI process.
The RFEI can be found . Proposals are due February 6, 2026.
