The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has announced that the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has sold 13 federal buildings as part of an ongoing effort to reduce the federal real estate portfolio. This announcement was shared on X on April 8.
According to DOGE, since January 20, 2025, the GSA has been working to address over $20 billion in deferred maintenance costs by reducing the federal government’s real estate holdings. The agency has sold 13 buildings and listed an additional 68 properties, totaling 8.3 million square feet.
This initiative follows DOGE's recent efforts to streamline the government's real estate portfolio, including the sale of a vacant federal building in Ogden, Utah. The GSA sold this property to the City of Ogden for $3.6 million, resulting in savings of over $20 million in deferred maintenance costs for the federal government. The city is now collaborating with a private developer to rehabilitate and repurpose the space for future use.
