Retail+Leasing

The Real Estate Department offers properties and business opportunities for lease or license in a variety of different ways. The most common process for soliciting interest from prospective tenants and licensees is through a formal Request for Proposals (“RFP”). Other retail and leasing opportunities, however, may be available outside of the RFP process, either directly through the MTA Real Estate Department or by a licensed real estate broker.

Requests for Proposal (RFP)

The RFP provides information on the available property or location, explains how to prepare a proposal, and outlines the likely terms of prospective leases or licenses. The RFP describes improvements that the operator of a business is expected to make to the property as a condition of the agreement. As part of an RFP, a site visit will generally be arranged to permit the prospective proposers to view the property or premises being offered. The Real Estate Department seeks proposals from as many potential operators as possible, evaluates all of the proposals submitted, negotiates terms and conditions, and concludes the transaction.

Getting Permission to Use an MTA Property

Our staff can help you determine what property is owned by the MTA and, if necessary, help you obtain the necessary license or permit and requirements for insurance. You can start your research by getting a tax map from your municipality and locating the block and lot number of the property in which you are interested.

Please send us this information, including the proposed use and if possible a map. If you are looking to use the property for a limited period of time, we also need to know how long you plan to use
