28 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Manhattan Park District's meetings, most in information technology and parks & recreation. The latest, from Oct 8: The district said The Station would be renovated, and staff reported that The Den planned to move into The Station in 2027 after the renovations were completed. The budget also carried The Station operating, maintenance, and repair lines, including contractual services and building repairs. This signals active facility readiness work before occupancy, with likely follow-on needs in cleaning, repairs, and fit-out. A seller would want to watch the renovation timeline and move-in date.
