About the Commercial RFP
Exciting Opportunities at Blume on the Ave!
Blume on the Ave is bringing new energy to Mattapan with three newly constructed buildings featuring 3,000 square feet of prime commercial space across three distinct sites. As part of our commitment to fostering local entrepreneurship, DVM Housing Partners (DVM) is offering two of these commercial spaces for sale to local business owners ready to make an impact!
In January 2025, DVM, in partnership with KPP Consulting (KPP), issued a Request for Proposals (RFP), inviting passionate, community-driven entrepreneurs to share their vision for how they would activate these spaces and contribute to Mattapan’s cultural and economic vitality. The response was incredible—over 70 businesses expressed interest, and 20 submitted proposals!
Now, with the support of KPP and the Community Advisory Committee (CAC), we’re in the exciting phase of evaluating these proposals. The next step? A pitch party where selected entrepreneurs will present their ideas to the Greater Mattapan community!
Stay tuned as we shape the future of Blume on the Ave with local businesses at the heart of it all.
