# New Mexico Seeks Albuquerque Fairgrounds Developer

On October 9, 2026, the New Mexico General Services Department selected Albuquerque-based Hartman + Majewski Design Group to prepare a master plan for redevelopment of the State Fairgrounds in Albuquerque’s International District. GSD has also issued an RFP for an anchor developer for Phase One, with selection expected in December 2026. The multi-year redevelopment could include housing, parks, an event center, and a stadium, and is projected to support about 940 jobs annually over 30 years.

- The anchor-developer RFP is the active procurement opportunity; interested firms should review its requirements and submission schedule, which are not detailed in the signal.
- The selected master plan is intended to guide Phase One development, so the anchor developer’s work will be tied to the site’s broader redevelopment framework.
- The project’s potential mix of housing, public space, and event facilities may be relevant to developers and firms with capabilities in large-scale mixed-use planning and construction.
