State Agencies Issue RFP for Transit-Oriented Development

A joint venture comprised of the Massachusetts Port Authority, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority has released a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking a developer for a mixed-use transit-oriented development project at the Anderson Regional Transportation Center (RTC) in Woburn. The RFP follows a strong response to a Request for Expressions of Interest earlier this year.

“As the JV plans for the future of the Anderson RTC, there is potential for development to co-exist with, and even enhance, operations at the facility,” MBTA said in a release. Development of a large parking lot outside the RTC represents an opportunity “for a qualified developer able to navigate complex environmental regulations.”

Responses to the RFP are due by March 24, 2026. A selection committee comprised of the three agencies will evaluate proposals before recommending a developer for designation by the three agencies’ respective boards.
