Developers make pitch for Portsmouth's federal building site

PORTSMOUTH — A “who’s who” of local and regional developers have shown interest in working with the city to redevelop the McIntyre Federal Building.

Chinburg Properties and Two International Group, as well as several Massachusetts companies, are among the companies that responded to the city’s request for qualifications, or RFQ, which is a first step for redeveloping the McIntyre site.

The Kane Co. of Portsmouth and Redgate of Boston also “have formed a joint venture to explore the Thomas J. McIntyre Building development opportunity together.”

“In partnership with the city, we propose to transform the most strategic property in the heart of historic Portsmouth,” they said in their application. “As the most crucial link between Market Square, the Strawbery Banke Museum and Prescott Park, this site will inform and define future development in Portsmouth for years to come.”
