GSA Lease Refresh Watchlist

Find the GSA lease renewals that will need tenant improvement work — and the building owner who will buy it — 12 to 48 months before the work is let.

When a GSA lease renews, the building owner — not GSA — prepares the offer and buys the build-out. That decision is made long before anything is advertised, by a landlord most contractors never talk to.

This file puts 2,083 leases in that window in front of you, ranked by how much tenant improvement work each is likely to generate, with the owner named on 98% and the federal tenant named on 83%.

It is sorted by when to make contact, so the first page of the spreadsheet is your call list for this quarter.

Who it's for

General contractors, interior build-out and TI firms, architects, and brokers who want to win GSA-leased space work by reaching the landlord before the lease is renewed.

How customers use it

Use case 1

Build this quarter's landlord call list

A Mid-Atlantic interiors contractor filters to their region and sorts by engage-by date. Twelve buildings need a conversation with the owner before spring — that is the business development plan for the quarter.

Walk into the owner meeting prepared

Before calling a building owner, a GC pulls the row: tenant agency, square footage, vacancy and expiration. The pitch is specific — 'your federal lease renews in 2028, here is how we would handle the build-out' — not a cold introduction.
