Katherine M. Swan

Katherine M. Swan serves as a Leasing Specialist within the Pbs R6 Office of Leasing under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she plays a critical role in securing nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of lease acquisitions—from market research and site evaluation to negotiation and contract administration—ensuring that federal space requirements are met through cost-effective, long-term leasing solutions. She specializes in procuring office and administrative facilities, aligning each acquisition with mission-critical operational needs while adhering to federal real property standards and sustainability guidelines. Katherine maintains a consistent working relationship with BELLA TERRA LLC, a primary lessor of nonresidential commercial properties, reflecting a strategic partnership built on reliability and compliance with federal leasing protocols. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established, large-scale property owners with proven experience in federal leasing, emphasizing contractual clarity, performance accountability, and facility readiness. These relationships are typically transactional and project-based, focused on delivering turnkey leased space without requiring extensive tenant improvements or build-outs. Her procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her lease awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on securing optimal space solutions based on value, location, and operational suitability rather than socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the agency’s mandate to prioritize efficiency and mission readiness above all else. Katherine’s expertise is concentrated in NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—where she procures fully leased, move-in-ready commercial office spaces tailored to federal needs. Her technical domain encompasses real estate market analysis, lease structure evaluation, and compliance with the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, ensuring that all acquisitions meet GSA’s stringent standards for federal occupancy and asset management.
