US GOVERNMENT SEEKS SOURCES FOR LEASED RETAIL AND RELATED SPACE

The U.S. Government currently occupies apartments under lease in Houston, Texas, which will be expiring. The Government is considering alternative space if economically advantageous and is seeking to lease 5,390 SF, in Houston, Texas, in or around the 77030 zip code area. In making this determination, the Government will consider, among other things, the availability of alternative space that potentially can satisfy the Government’s requirements, as well as costs likely to be incurred through relocating, such as physical move costs, replication of tenant improvements and telecommunication infrastructure and non-productive agency downtime. The ideal space would fit the following: building specifications in compliance with all federal, state and local ordinances; force protection standards in compliance with Department of Defense’s Unified Facility Criteria; outfitted with either designated or open parking. An initial fully serviced five-year lease is intended. Offered space shall not be in the 100-year flood plain and must be ready for occupancy by 1 October 2026.
