Dave Young

Dave Young serves as Vice President at the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he leads strategic real estate acquisition initiatives to secure commercial office space and nonresidential properties for federal agency operations. In this role, he oversees the end-to-end procurement lifecycle for lease agreements and property management contracts, ensuring alignment with federal workspace optimization goals and cost-efficiency mandates. His portfolio centers on long-term leasing strategies that support the federal footprint reduction mission, requiring deep expertise in real estate law, property valuation, and federal acquisition regulation compliance. Mr. Young maintains consistent procurement relationships with a select group of institutional 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 reflect a preference for large-scale property holders with established commercial portfolios capable of delivering turnkey leased spaces that meet federal security, accessibility, and sustainability standards. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based lease structures and risk-sharing mechanisms aligned with GSA’s real estate best practices. Mr. Young’s acquisition portfolio reflects a zero set-aside preference, with 100% of contracts awarded under full and open competition. This underscores a strategic focus on market-wide competition to achieve optimal value, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his contracting framework, all vendors are evaluated on technical capability, financial stability, and compliance with federal leasing requirements. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), which accounts for two-thirds of his activity, with the remainder in NAICS 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property). He specializes in procuring leased office spaces, mixed-use commercial properties, and mission-critical facilities that support federal workforce needs, demonstrating deep expertise in real estate asset acquisition and federal property management.
