GSA Announces Transformational Headquarters Renovation and Groundbreaking Collaboration with OPM

WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced a major initiative to renovate its headquarters at 1800 F Street NW and establish a groundbreaking partnership with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), advancing a government-wide effort to reduce underutilized space and fortify the federal real estate footprint.

Beginning in July, GSA will temporarily move its headquarter operations to the Theodore Roosevelt Federal Building (TRB), where it will co-locate with OPM. This move marks the first phase of a broader transformation that will culminate in a fully reanimated, shared property with OPM at 1800 F Street. Upon completion of the 4th quarter project in 2028, GSA will move forward with the accelerated disposition of the TRB, reducing costs and eliminating vacant property.

“GSA and OPM are taking unprecedented action by coming together to fortify America’s real estate portfolio and tackle the delinquent maintenance and vacancies that have plagued it for decades,”said GSA Administrator Edward C. Forst. “The GSA team has built a roadmap for federal agencies to operate under one roof and deliver what the American people expect—results that respect their tax dollars.”

Approximately 40 percent of GSA’s headquarters has been deemed uninhabitable due to longstanding delinquent maintenance, underscoring the urgency of the project. The agency responsible for managing the federal government’s real estate portfolio has faced significant fiscal and legislative constraints in maintaining its own facilities due to the lack of access to the Federal Buildings Fund—an issue this initiative directly addresses.

”This move reflects our commitment to being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars while ensuring OPM employees have modern, efficient space to support their mission,” said OPM Director Scott Kupor. “By consolidating under-utilized office space and partnering with GSA on long-term facility improvements, we are reducing unnecessary costs and focusing resources where they matter most, delivering results for the American people.”

While GSA partners with lawmakers to secure formal approval of its prospectus plans, it will use other available funding to start the initial designs in the months ahead.

“For years, I’ve been working to literally downsize government by selling off Washington’s unneeded, unused, and deteriorating real estate, and today we are taking action,” said Senator Joni Ernst. “By consolidating two agencies under one roof, GSA and OPM are putting more office space to work. As the Trump Administration puts taxpayers first, I’ll continue to make sure every square foot and tax dollar are being used wisely.”
