Allison Arias

Allison Arias serves as a Leasing Specialist within the PBS R2 Office of Leasing at the General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in securing nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of lease acquisitions—from market analysis and site evaluation to lease negotiation and compliance with federal real property regulations. She specializes in procuring office space and ancillary facility services under the authority of the Public Buildings Service, ensuring federal tenants receive secure, functional, and cost-effective work environments aligned with GSA’s strategic space optimization goals. Arias maintains established working relationships with key lessors such as TRPF 86 Chambers Street LLC and Bear Mountainside Realty Limited Liability Company, primarily engaging with institutional real estate owners and property management firms experienced in federal leasing standards. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term tenancy agreements, adaptive reuse of commercial properties, and adherence to GSA’s lease acquisition policies, fostering collaborative partnerships grounded in regulatory compliance and performance accountability. Her contracting activity reflects a 100% focus on non-set-aside procurements, indicating a preference for open competition among qualified commercial lessors rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her portfolio demonstrates consistent adherence to full and open competition principles under FAR Part 17, ensuring value-driven outcomes through market-driven leasing solutions. Arias’s procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—reflecting deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing for federal occupancy. She specializes in acquiring Class A and B office spaces, mixed-use properties, and build-to-suit arrangements tailored to agency-specific operational needs, demonstrating technical proficiency in lease structures, rent escalation clauses, and federal space utilization standards.
