By the Numbers: Federal agency sells $614M worth of real estate

The federal government hasn’t managed to slash its office rent bill under President Donald Trump, but it has found another way to save some cash: selling off the buildings it owns.

Since the start of last year, the General Services Administration, which handles much of the federal government’s civilian property portfolio, has sold more than 125 federal properties totaling over 6.5 million square feet, generating $614 million in proceeds, the agency told The Real Deal.

As of June 30, there were 42 properties listed for sale on GSA’s website, roughly a third of which are office buildings. Washington, D.C., California, Illinois and Texas have the most properties on the chopping block, with three apiece.
