Dan Newman

Dan Newman serves as a Broker for the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he plays a critical role in securing commercial real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. His responsibilities include identifying, evaluating, and negotiating leases for nonresidential office spaces, ensuring alignment with federal workspace standards, sustainability goals, and cost-efficiency mandates. Dan specializes in end-to-end lease acquisition processes—from market analysis and property due diligence to contract execution and portfolio optimization—focusing exclusively on long-term real property solutions that enhance federal footprint efficiency and operational readiness. Dan maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of commercial real estate owners and developers, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These partnerships are primarily transactional and lease-focused, centered on the acquisition of existing office buildings and flexible workspace solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes stability, compliance, and long-term value, often engaging with institutional landlords who possess established portfolios of Class A and B commercial properties suited to federal occupancy requirements. Dan’s contracting activity reflects a strict focus on non-set-aside procurements, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. He does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead prioritizing market-driven outcomes and landlord capacity to meet federal space standards. This reflects the agency’s operational mandate to secure high-quality, immediately available real estate without restrictive eligibility criteria. His primary procurement activity is concentrated under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating deep expertise in commercial lease negotiations, tenant improvement allowances, and space planning for federal occupancy. Dan’s domain expertise lies in the acquisition of turnkey office environments, including build-to-suit modifications, HVAC compliance, and security integration, ensuring all leased spaces meet GSA and federal workplace regulations.
