On Tuesday, the Public Services Office (GSA) released a list of more than 400 federal buildings and real estate to be sold, including the FBI headquarters, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, the Ministry of Justice and other federal key facilities. Hours later, 123 buildings, including specific sites such as the J. Edgar Hoover building and veterans’ management buildings in Washington, DC, were removed. Until Wednesday, the entire list of GSA website disappeared.
The Wired has created a map and a search table of government properties that are for sale and are summarized, including the relevant political representatives for each place.
To create a map, two cross datasets are presented: a list of “non-nuclear” features originally published by GSA and then deleted-and rented properties (IOLP). GSA defines non -nuclear assets as buildings and facilities for “government operations” and argues in a press statement about the list that sells “savings for US taxpayers”. IOLP, a public database, provides detailed information on the properties of GSA and leased throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam and Samoa.
Among the ones specified for sale are historically historically designed historically such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe ≠ Design by C. Kluczynski and custom home, an art decoration building that has an urban block in the old city of Philadelphia. High but prominent buildings include the Martinezburg Calculators in Kerniceville, West Virginia, which provides the IRS as the “MSc Database of Individual and Corporate Tax Management”, and the Central Heating Factory in Washington, DC, which provides hot and cold water for government buildings, museums and museums. (GSA has claimed that not all buildings are for sale, but the agency has repeatedly changed its tone among different internal documents and communications.)
GSA, an independent government agency, manages government information technology management and a significant portion of the Federal Real Estate basket. In recent weeks, the agency is a GSA unit focused on government efficiency with forced resignation and reduction of troops, including the elimination of 18F. GSA (PBS) public buildings are reportedly planning to reduce 63 percent of their workforce, totaling about 3600 people. Elvan Mesak’s colleagues work throughout the GSA, including Thomas Shade Technology Transformation Services, former Tesla engineer, and Nicole Heladar’s X. A number of young DOGE technicians also have access to the agency.
In February, Wired reported that GSA staff were told to sell more than 500 federal buildings, including the real estate agencies and offices of US Senators. The list of these buildings divides properties into “nuclear” and “non -nuclear” assets and sells “non -nuclear” assets.
A note in the list is that the agency’s intention to reduce the “real estate footprint size of 50 % and the number of buildings is 70 %. Reduction will be focused on a non -nuclear public office of portfolio, which can be replaced in the private rented market if necessary, and all non -nuclear buildings will be replaced.”
