FBI Headquarters Consolidation

GSA is in the process of finding a new headquarters location for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI currently occupies the J. Edgar Hoover Building (JEH), located at 935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, and numerous other leased facilities that support its headquarters functions. The project involves exchanging JEH for a new facility that can accommodate the FBI’s headquarters operations and allow it to consolidate into one location.

The proposed action would allow GSA to leverage its current assets in exchange for property and services  that would support federal space consolidation efforts of GSA and FBI; and allow for the Pennsylvania Avenue parcel to be conveyed to the private sector consistent with redevelopment goals for the avenue, while improving the efficiency of GSA’s and FBI’s real estate operations. This project is part of GSA’s ongoing effort to get under-performing federal facilities off of the government’s books, while creating the greatest possible value for taxpayers.

After careful review against federal site evaluation criteria, three sites within the NCR were selected to comprise a shortlist of sites to be considered for the consolidation of the new FBI HQ:

• Greenbelt: This site is known as the Greenbelt Metro Station and is located near the intersection of Interstate 495 and the Greenbelt Metrorail Station (exit 24) in Prince George’s County, Maryland.
• Landover: This site is known as the former Landover Mall and is located along the Brightseat Road near the intersection of Interstate 495 and Landover Road (exit 17) in Prince George’s County, Maryland.
• Springfield: This site is known as the GSA Franconia warehouse complex and is located along Loisdale Road just south of the Franconia-Springfield Parkway overpass and east of Interstate 95 in Fairfax County, Virginia.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Public hearing/engagement information
