Downtown Waterfront Market Analysis and Redevelopment Strategy
Close Date: Oct 1st 2026, 4:00 PM PDT
The Port of Bellingham (Port) is soliciting responses from qualified real estate and development advisory firms interested in providing strategic, financial, technical, and facilitation support to guide the next phase of redevelopment for the Downtown Waterfront portion of the Waterfront District, a 44 acre site adjacent to downtown Bellingham, Washington.
This engagement follows the termination of a prior master development agreement and reflects a strategic shift toward a more Port led or hybrid development approach, supported by robust community engagement. While master planning and entitlements for the site are complete under the Waterfront District Sub Area Plan and associated development regulations (see complete list under Project Information), the Port recognizes that successfully advancing redevelopment will require both clear alignment around community priorities and practical, market tested implementation strategies.
Since 2005, the Port and the City of Bellingham (City), working with numerous partners and the community, have carried out extensive environmental cleanup, infrastructure investment, and public space development on former industrial waterfront lands. These efforts have laid a strong foundation; however, the Port does not view the current moment as a simple transition from planning to implementation. Rather, this work is intended to connect community direction, market realities, and financial feasibility into a coherent redevelopment framework that can guide near term actions and longer term decisions.
The Port seeks a consultant team capable of working across disciplines—market analysis, financial modeling, development strategy, and structured stakeholder engagement—to help establish shared vision on use and design criteria for waterfront development, test redevelopment scenarios against real world constraints, and identify implementable actions for the next three to five years. The successful consultant will thoughtfully create a framework for redevelopment that integrates a range of development types, including mixed use, industrial, marine trades, and employment generating uses, in a manner that supports a vibrant, creative, and inclusive district while honoring Bellingham’s working waterfront history.
The consultant should recognize and build upon the role of existing partners and stakeholders within and adjacent to the Waterfront District, including industrial, marine, and maker oriented users and consider how future redevelopment can complement, support, and enhance these ongoing operations.
