David Friedman

David Friedman serves as Transaction Manager at the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he oversees the acquisition and leasing of nonresidential real estate to support federal workspace requirements nationwide. In this role, he manages end-to-end transactional processes for commercial property leases, ensuring alignment with federal real property strategy, cost-efficiency standards, and operational security mandates. His portfolio is exclusively focused on long-term leasing arrangements for office and nonresidential facilities, coordinating with legal, financial, and facility management teams to execute binding agreements that meet agency occupancy needs while adhering to GSA’s real estate acquisition framework. David maintains consistent contracting 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 are primarily structured around lease execution for pre-leased or stabilized commercial properties, reflecting a preference for established landlords with proven track records in federal compliance, property condition, and lease administration. His working model emphasizes transactional efficiency, risk mitigation, and contractual clarity, often utilizing GSA’s standardized lease templates and streamlined approval pathways. David’s procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s mission to secure optimal space at market rates without restriction, prioritizing value and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences. His technical expertise is singularly focused on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where he specializes in negotiating commercial office leases, evaluating building fitness for federal use, and ensuring compliance with federal building codes and accessibility standards. He is deeply versed in real estate due diligence, lease term structuring, and property condition assessments, making him a key player in the federal government’s nonresidential space acquisition ecosystem.
