Due to overwhelming interest, the GSA has retracted the initial list and plans to republish it after making necessary adjustments based on feedback.

Critics, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, have expressed concerns that selling these properties could disrupt essential government services and allow wealthy individuals to profit from the sales.

The administration's strategy includes terminating leases on approximately 7,500 federal offices, with a goal of canceling up to 300 leases per day to streamline operations.

While the GSA anticipates updating the list of non-core properties, the implications for federal agencies and the timeline for potential closures remain unclear.

The GSA clarified that being on the non-core list does not guarantee immediate sale; they will evaluate offers based on federal needs and taxpayer interests.

The GSA, which oversees $110 billion in federal assets, cited decades of funding deficiencies as a driving factor behind the proposed sales.

Concerns have also been raised regarding the accuracy of the Department of General Services' accounting and projections related to these cost-cutting measures.

The proposed sales include federal buildings that house essential services, such as immigration courtrooms and child care facilities, highlighting the extensive impact of the sell-off.

The GSA has acknowledged the need to retain properties crucial for national defense and law enforcement, suggesting a balanced approach to managing federal real estate.

The General Services Administration (GSA) aims to reduce costly maintenance on these underutilized properties and plans to reinvest the proceeds into more effective work environments.

Among the properties listed are those named after civil rights icons, including the Rosa Parks Federal Building and the historically significant Montgomery bus station, now a museum.

The Trump administration has released a list of over 400 federal properties, including significant buildings like the FBI headquarters and the Department of Justice, for potential closure or sale, citing their lack of importance to core government operations.
