The General Services Administration (GSA) oversees an incredible 363 million square feet of space across 8,397 buildings in over 2,200 communities nationwide. These properties go beyond office buildings—they include courthouses, laboratories, data processing centers, and even land ports of entry.

What strategies could reshape GSA’s owned assets in today’s oversupplied market, and how might they decide which properties and vendors to maintain or release?
Join our exclusive webcast to explore these pivotal questions and uncover transformative opportunities for buyers, investors, and communities alike where neighborhoods could be reimagined, spark industry movement, and find optimism in what’s ahead.
