In January 2024, Flagstaff City Council supported the Downtown Action and Vision Plan completed by the Flagstaff Downtown Business Association in partnership with the City, Coconino County, and Mountain Line. The plan identified several catalytic sites, including the entire block housing the former Courthouse site and called for the City to put out a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the redevelopment of the property. Prior to issuing the RFP, staff provided an update to Council on what would be included in the RFP and sought their feedback prior to finalizing the proposal. An RFP was issued and originally ran from April 12, 2024, through June 11, 2024. A two-week extension was granted based on questions and comments received from interested parties and the response period ultimately closed June 25, 2024. There were three firms that showed interest in the project, only one response was received and appears to include many of attributes identified in the Downtown Action and Vision Plan and addresses the City’s housing and carbon neutrality priorities.
 

The parcels included in the RFP included:
APN 100-21-009A which is approximately 3,225 feet
APN 100-21-011 which is approximately 10,018 feet
APN 100-21-009B which is approximately 6,825
APN 100-21-001B which is approximately 10,890
This is a total area of 30,958 square feet or .71 acres. There is an alley separating 100-21-001B from the other three parcels which are adjacent to each other.
These properties were previously used as the former courthouse, and as parking for the courthouse and the public.
On the remainder of the block are four privately owned parcels.
The City of Flagstaff owned lots are currently public parking managed by ParkFlag and serving the downtown and the new courthouse.
