The deadline to submit SOQs was Friday, July 14. Brookfield Properties and Housing America Partners turned in their paperwork on time.
Although this is the first time Housing America Partners has applied for the position, Brookfield had competed to be the Master Developer back in 2021.
Now is the City of Concord’s chance to deliver a world-class project at the former Concord Naval Weapons Station.

We need a project that buffers communities from construction impacts, takes advantage of mass transit, and provides quality affordable housing.
We need a project that serves as a model for the latest green-building and sustainable development principles, and benefits the city and Contra Costa County far more than it negatively impacts them.
Now Concord city staff and leadership will review what’s been submitted, with a public meeting to consider the candidates tentatively scheduled for Saturday, August 26. We’ll keep you updated. Learn more about the SOQ announcement.
