Esther Lotz

Esther Lotz serves as a Commercial Broker with the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she plays a pivotal role in securing commercial real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. Her responsibilities include identifying, evaluating, and negotiating leases for nonresidential properties—including office space, mixed-use buildings, and specialized facilities—to ensure efficient, secure, and cost-effective workspace solutions. Lotz operates within the agency’s mission to optimize the federal footprint through strategic real estate acquisition, leveraging market analysis and lease negotiation expertise to align property acquisitions with agency space requirements and sustainability goals. Lotz maintains consistent contracting 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 centered on long-term lease execution for federal tenancies, with a focus on properties in high-demand urban and suburban markets. Her working relationships reflect a preference for established landlords with proven track records in federal compliance, building maintenance, and adaptive reuse of commercial assets to meet GSA standards. Lotz’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with GSA’s mandate to secure optimal value through market-driven processes, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB contracts, her approach ensures transparency, competitive pricing, and adherence to federal acquisition regulations. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 531190—Lessors of Other Real Estate Property—where she specializes in commercial lease acquisitions for federal occupancy. Her technical expertise includes lease structuring, space planning compliance, environmental and accessibility standards, and property condition assessments, positioning her as a key operator in the federal real estate leasing domain.
