Vacant to Vibrant Initiative

The City of Sioux City is launching the Vacant to Vibrant Initiative, an effort designed to return underutilized and vacant City‑owned lots to productive use. Through this initiative, the City is offering multiple vacant parcels for sale to encourage investment, support neighborhood revitalization, expand housing opportunities, and promote economic development across the community.

Following a comprehensive review by several City departments, these properties have been identified as no longer needed for public purposes and are now available for purchase through either a Request for Proposals (RFP) or Request for Bids process. Full details, including development expectations, submission requirements, minimum bid information, and staff contacts, are available on the City of Sioux City website.

The following City‑owned properties are included in this offering:

502 West 3rd Street (0.83 Acres)
1216, 1218, 1222 Grandview Boulevard & 312 13th Street (1.09 Acres)

Interested parties may submit a proposal or bid or share feedback on what types of development they believe would best serve their neighborhood and Sioux City. All responses, including formal submissions and comments, must be received by 4 p.m. CDT on Thursday, August 27, 2026.
