Kory Hochler

Kory R. Hochler serves as a Leasing Contracting Officer at the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he is responsible for acquiring and managing commercial real estate leases to support federal agency workspace needs nationwide. His role centers on executing nonresidential leasing contracts in alignment with federal real property strategy, ensuring cost-effective, secure, and efficient facilities for federal personnel. Hochler specializes in full lifecycle lease acquisition—from market research and site selection to lease negotiation, contract award, and performance monitoring—primarily securing office and mixed-use commercial spaces to fulfill agency occupancy requirements. Hochler maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced real estate lessors, 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 property owners or specialized real estate investment trusts with portfolios tailored to federal leasing standards. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term stability, compliance with GSA lease guidelines, and adherence to federal property management protocols, fostering collaborative, transactionally efficient partnerships grounded in transparency and regulatory rigor. Hochler’s procurement activity reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of his leases awarded without set-asides, indicating a preference for market-wide solicitation rather than socioeconomic designations. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his contracting patterns demonstrate alignment with GSA’s broader mandate to secure optimal value through competitive market mechanisms, ensuring federal tenants receive high-quality, well-maintained facilities without artificial market constraints. His primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—reflecting deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing, property condition assessments, tenant improvement allowances, and lease term structuring. Hochler’s technical domain centers on the acquisition of fully operational office environments, with an emphasis on location, build-out specifications, sustainability compliance, and facility security standards critical to federal operations.
