WASHINGTON, DC—The General Services Administration is seeking a well-heeled developer to build a new 2.1-million-square-foot headquarters for the FBI and take the law enforcement agency's current Hoover headquarters as compensation.
The GSA is currently considering sites for the new FBI headquarters at one of three sites, in Greenbelt, Landover or Springfield. The GSA owns the Springfield property and has signed deals that would allow it to purchase the Greenbelt or Landover locations between now and July 29, 2016.
