Midtown is getting ready to boom in population thanks to a number of housing initiatives in various stages of development. The list got longer today after the City of Kingston announced it was soliciting development proposals for 25 Field Court.
“We are looking for a developer who is willing and capable of cleaning up the site and ideally interested in creating affordable housing with mixed-use potential,” Mayor Steve Noble said in a statement. “This area is ripe for creating housing density while bringing other exciting amenities to the surrounding community. We are excited to see what visions folks have for this site to reach its full potential.”
The city-owned parcel in Midtown spans 0.85 acres near West Kill Supply. Positioned between Field Court and O’Neil Street, the site includes a long-vacant, 12,000-square-foot brick building built in 1966 and two surface parking lots. Located adjacent to the Midtown Linear Park and near the Broadway business corridor, the property is zoned mixed-use and can host commercial or residential development.
The site had remained unoccupied for several years and was acquired by the city in 2024 after being tax-delinquent for over a decade. Kingston officials are working to declare the area around the property as a Brownfield Opportunity Area, which would unlock support and financial incentives for a future developer.
The formal “Request for Expressions of Interest” process is a way for the city ask developers or companies to share their ideas and interest in using a property before any formal project is planned.
