GSA cuts federal office space as Trump and Musk push for government efficiency

theglobeandmail.com February 4, 2025, 09:00 PM UTC

The General Services Administration (GSA) is managing a significant reduction in federal office space under President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's direction. Regional managers have been instructed to terminate leases on approximately 7,500 federal offices nationwide. This move appears to conflict with Trump's mandate for federal employees to return to the office. The GSA, which oversees federal property and workspace for over 1 million workers, is now prioritizing lease terminations at a rate of up to 300 per day. Nicole Hollander, a real estate expert, is leading this initiative. The GSA's actions reflect a broader strategy to streamline government operations amid ongoing changes in federal employment policies.
