OVERVIEW The City of Corpus Christi (City) is issuing this Request for Interest (RFI) for the former Mirabeau B. Lamar Elementary School site and additional city -owned parcels in the surrounding neighborhood. ■ The city is seeking one or more experienced real estate development teams to develop housing on the former Lamar school site and additional neighborhood lots. ■ The city envisions infill housing development and is open to innovative concepts that aid the city with meeting local housing affordability needs while stabilizing an established neighborhood. Property Description Currently vacant, the site that was once home to Lamar Elementary School which was originally part of the 1908 Eckerd Subdivision while parcels to the east of 19th Street are part of the 1929 Jasmin Subdivision. Narrow and deep single-family lots, typical of this time, are common throughout the neighborhood, though many lots have been combined over the decades to form larger parcels. Other neighborhood institutions include St. Joseph's Catholic Church, the Garcia Arts Center and Park, and educational facilities like the Marguerite Child Development Center and a charter high school. Lamar Elementary served many generations, starting in 1941. The school was closed in 2010 and later demolished in 2021 to make way for new development and neighborhood investment. Though no longer standing, the site still holds historical significance as the 1948 location of the meeting that formed the American GI Forum, the civil rights group founded by Dr. Hector P. Garcia. (Katheryn Cargo for the Caller Times, November 20, 2021) The city -owned parcels that are included in the RFI are detailed in Map 1 and Table 1 on the following pages.
