Josh Levin

Josh Levin serves as a Broker with the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he facilitates the acquisition and leasing of nonresidential commercial real estate to support federal agency workspace requirements. In this role, he acts as a key liaison between federal stakeholders and private property owners, managing the end-to-end leasing lifecycle—from market analysis and property identification to lease negotiation and contract execution. His acquisitions are exclusively focused on securing office and nonresidential facilities to optimize the federal footprint, aligning with PBS’s mission of cost-effective, secure, and efficient real estate management across the United States. Levin maintains consistent working 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 entities are typically large-scale commercial property holders with portfolios of Class A or Class B office buildings in high-demand federal corridors. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term lease agreements, often involving build-to-suit or tenant improvement components, and reflects a preference for established, financially stable landlords with proven experience in GSA leasing programs. Levin’s contracting activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of his acquisitions awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with PBS R00’s operational model, which prioritizes market-rate efficiency and broad competition over targeted small business set-asides, even as other GSA components actively promote 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB participation. His procurement focus is singularly concentrated on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses). He specializes in procuring leased commercial office space, including ground leases and triple-net lease structures, with expertise in federal lease compliance, space planning, and facility integration standards. His domain expertise lies in navigating the complexities of federal real estate law, GSA Form 1177 lease agreements, and the alignment of private-sector property offerings with federal security and operational requirements.
