This started with the city lining up a housing future for the Hawthorn Ave & 18th St city-owned parcel: first backing a zoning change, then hiring Weichert to market it. Separately, the CDA kept working on Sandy Bay marketing and asked Weichert to come back with lot price recommendations in February 2026.
