Overview
Santa Fe Redevelopment Opportunity
The Alvord School presents a significant redevelopment opportunity in Santa Fe's urban core. This approximately 2.9-acre infill parcel is located adjacent to the Santa Fe Railyard, a mixed-use cultural district. The existing building, totaling approximately 30,760 square feet, was originally constructed in 1931 and expanded through the 1970s. The Business Capital District (BCD) zoning designation offers flexibility for various uses, including hotel/hospitality, office/medical/dental, educational facilities, nonprofit or institutional headquarters, residential (multifamily, condominiums, live/work), retail, café, restaurant, service commercial, cultural uses (museums, galleries, performing arts), and religious and assembly use. Development is governed by height zones and Master Plan parameters. The Santa Fe Railyard is a nationally recognized arts, culture, and mixed-use district that includes the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market, Violet Crown Cinema, SITE Santa Fe, El Museo Cultural, Railyard Plaza + Public Green, REI, Rail Trail + Santa Fe Depot. The property offers transit-oriented development potential with walkability to transit, proximity to amenities, reduced parking requirements, and integration with a mixed-use environment. Extensive entitlements, including the Alvord Master Plan, archaeological clearance, and pre-reviewed infrastructure, reduce planning risk and development timelines. This property is a rare opportunity for hospitality, residential, mixed-use, institutional, medical, or educational redevelopment.
