In many cases, leasing is available for limited time periods while City agencies work on development plans for the property. DRES does not have responsibility for residential buildings or apartment units. Typically, tenants rent these properties for parking for an adjacent home or business. Long-term leases with terms longer than one year are available on selected properties.
Longer terms allow tenants to make improvements to the property.
Long-term lease sites must be offered through a Public Lease Auction. Public Lease Auctions are held several times each year. Sites are offered with terms and special use requirements specific to the unique nature of each property. Public parking lots, retail spaces, office spaces and vacant lots can be offered for lease.
