Trump Admin Lists Hundreds of Federal Buildings as ‘Not Core’ and Potentially for Sale

NEW YORK — The Trump administration on Tuesday published a list of more than 440 federal properties it had identified to potentially offload, including the FBI headquarters and the main Department of Justice building, after deeming them “not core to government operations.”

Hours later, however, the administration issued a revised list with only 320 entries that excluded every previously listed building in Washington, D.C. And by Wednesday morning, the list was gone entirely. “Non-core property list (Coming soon)” read the web page where the list had previously been posted.


The General Services Administration, which published the lists, did not respond to repeated questions about the changes or why the properties that had been listed had been removed.

But in an email sent to staff and obtained by The Associated Press, GSA’s buildings division said the list had generated “an overwhelming amount of interest” and would be republished in the “near future” after the agency was able to “evaluate this initial input and determine how we can make it easier for stakeholders to understand the nuances of the assets listed.”
