The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) through a Request for Proposals
(RFP), is seeking a Developer to undertake, obtain financing for
complete and thereafter be responsible for the management of a
mixed-use and VA Medical Center complex on certain VA properties
(including a 998 space parking garage) located at the campus of the VA
Medical Center ("VAMC") in Durham, North Carolina. The development
mechanism would be a long-term (up to 35 years) lease of properties
located on the VAMC campus to a Developer who would finance and
redevelop these properties into a "development complex" comprised of
private sector and VA uses. The non-VA uses may include, but are not
limited to to: hospitality, parking, retail, office (medical and
commercial), long term care or institutional uses. The Department's
objective is to obtain on a "no cost" or substantially reduced cost
basis, a certain amount of research, medical office, and parking space
as detailed in the RFP. At the end of the lease term, ownership of all
on-site improvements will transfer to VA. The legislative authority for
this proposed arrangement is 38 U.S.C. 8161, et seq., "Enhanced-Use
Leases of Real Property. -- The developer may elect to utilize any or
all of the property offered by VA for the term of the lease. The
department may purchase space or services from the developer in
connection with its requirements under the lease. As part of the
consideration for the Enhanced-Use lease, the lease shall provide for
periodic ground lease rental payments (to be proposed by each
Developer) which may be applied by the VA toward any VA costs resulting
from its use of space or services in the development complex. (0352) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0096 19971222\X-0001.SOL)
