UTICA, N.Y. — Mohawk Valley Health System (MVHS) in Utica wants to hear from qualified developers who are interested in redeveloping the former St. Elizabeth Medical Center (SEMC) campus, a 21.3 acre site located on Genesee Street in Utica.
MVHS has issued a request for expressions of interest (RFEI) for the project. The health system says the question deadline is Jan. 19, 2026 and the proposal-submission deadline is Feb. 2, 2026.
Following submission, selected respondents will be invited to participate in interviews and site tours, with developer selection anticipated later in 2026.
“The RFEI marks a major milestone in the long-planned transformation of the former hospital campus and builds upon extensive community engagement, planning and environmental review,” MVHS said in a Dec. 22 announcement.
The redevelopment vision calls for a predominantly residential project that will deliver much-needed market-rate housing while preserving the historic character of the site and enhancing the surrounding South Utica neighborhood.
“This RFEI represents an exciting next step for the St. Elizabeth campus and for the City of Utica,” Dr. William LeCates, president and CEO of MVHS, said. “Through a collaborative planning process with the City of Utica, community partners and local stakeholders, we have established a thoughtful vision for redevelopment. We now look forward to engaging with experienced developers who share that vision and can help bring it to life.”
The full
RFEI is available online.
Also, supporting planning documents are
available through the City of Utica’s website.
