November 8th: The Impact of Underutilized Federal Real Estate on Cities in America 

In July of 2023, the U.S. Government Accountability Office released a report that found that Federal agency headquarters buildings in Washington are currently utilized on an average of 25%.  The challenge of underutilized Federal properties is not limited to the post-pandemic "work from home" era.  For decades the Federal government has worked to take meaningful action to reposition property assets that are no longer needed. 
 
As the Federal government continues to offer employees significant workplace flexibility, utilization of the Federal real estate portfolio has plummeted in the period following the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on experiences here in Washington, D.C. and in cities across the nation, Federal buildings that sit largely empty have measurable impacts on the local economy and often represent significant unrealized potential to introduce active uses in local communities.

The panel discussion will explore the impact of underutilized Federal buildings on our nation’s cities, including: 
  • The historic role of Federal facilities in civic placemaking;
  • The chronic challenge of vacant and underutilized Federal buildings;
  • Recent impacts of Federal workplace flexibility both before and after the Covid-19 public health emergency; 
  • The exploration of the potential relationship between the Federal real estate strategy and the Administration’s broader place-based and community development agenda.

Speakers: 
  • Nani Coloretti, Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Former Deputy Secretary, Department of Housing and Urban Development
  • Anthony Williams, Executive Director, Federal City Council, Former Mayor of the District of Columbia
  • Marcel Acosta, Executive Director, National Capital Planning Commission
  • Keith Cunningham, Assistant Director for Physical Infrastructure, Government Accountability Office
  • Peter Otteni, Executive Vice President, Boston Properties

Moderator and Opening Remarks:
  • Norman Dong, Partner, FD Stonewater; Adjunct Lecturer, Georgetown Urban and Regional Planning Program
  • Uwe S. Brandes, Faculty Director, Georgetown Global Cities Initiative​
 
This in-person event will take place on Wednesday November 8 from 9:30am to 11:00am at 640 Massachusetts Avenue NW, with breakfast provided at 8:30am. The program is sponsored by the Georgetown Global Cities Initiative, in conjunction with the Georgetown Urban & Regional Planning program and the Federal Real Property Association.
