How to bid on GSA’s Red Hook warehouse and related space lease

What GSA is seeking

The General Services Administration is seeking expressions of interest for 100,000 square feet of warehouse, office, and related space in Red Hook, Brooklyn, for a 15-year lease. The property must include 70 secured surface parking spaces for official government vehicles, water access for private boats, helipad access, a drive-through wash bay, and truck-loading facilities.

This is an RFI seeking expressions of interest, not a stated award notice. It may suit property owners with a building that meets the requirements, as well as authorized representatives submitting on an owner’s behalf.

Key dates and the deadline

Expressions of interest are due October 30, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET. A market survey is estimated for November 2026, and occupancy is estimated for November 2027.

The provided information does not state what happens immediately after the submission deadline. Make sure your response reaches the designated recipients by the stated time.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is for owners or authorized representatives of Red Hook properties able to offer the specified warehouse, office, and related space. The building must be able to accommodate ISC Level II security requirements and meet government fire safety, accessibility, seismic, and sustainability standards under the lease terms.

The stated building requirements also include grade-level drive-in doors with at least 14 feet of clear ceiling height and 12 feet of clear width, plus a loading dock with straight-truck access and adequate clearances. A fully serviced lease is required.

How to respond

The portal access steps say to click “View original source” to open the opportunity. If the first click takes you to the portal homepage, click it again. You may need a free account to view documents, though some bids can be viewed without one.

Send the expression of interest to CBRE, Inc., attention Richard Downey or Sarah Pollack, at [email protected] or [email protected]. Include the building name and address; the representative’s contact information and email; available ABOA and rentable square feet, with floors and square footage identified; asking full-service rates per ABOA square foot and rentable square foot; and operating costs per ABOA square foot and rentable square foot included in those rates.

The asking rates must account for a standard GSA warm-lit shell, a tenant improvement allowance of $63.87 per ABOA square foot, and a BSAC allowance of $12.00 per ABOA square foot. If the sender is not the property owner or manager, include written ownership consent authorizing the representative to provide the information to the Government.

Prepare a clear, complete expression of interest

Check the property against each stated requirement before preparing the response. Clearly identify the space available on each floor and distinguish ABOA square footage from rentable square footage.

Present the full-service rental rates and operating costs in a way that makes the figures easy to compare, and confirm the stated allowances are reflected in the asking rates. If submitting as a representative, arrange the written ownership consent before sending.

The solicitation advises entities to familiarize themselves with telecommunications prohibitions under Section 889 of the FY19 National Defense Authorization Act, as implemented by the FAR.
