Maureen OBrien

Maureen O’Brien serves as a Project Manager at the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where she leads the acquisition and management of nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency workspace needs. In this role, she oversees the full lifecycle of lease acquisitions—from market analysis and site selection to contract execution and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal real property standards and cost-efficiency mandates. Her portfolio is exclusively focused on commercial office leasing, aligning with the agency’s mission to optimize the federal footprint through strategic, long-term real estate solutions. O’Brien maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of commercial property owners and real estate entities, 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 long-term lease agreements for Class A and B office spaces in high-demand urban and suburban markets. Her procurement approach emphasizes stability, tenant compliance, and facility readiness, fostering collaborative, performance-driven relationships with landlords who meet GSA’s stringent operational and security requirements. O’Brien’s contracting activity reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-asides. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize market competition and leverage the broadest possible pool of qualified commercial property owners, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach is aligned with the agency’s mandate to secure optimal space at fair market value, prioritizing property attributes over vendor classification. Her primary procurement specialization lies in NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where she exclusively acquires leased commercial office space. She possesses deep expertise in evaluating building specifications, lease terms, utility infrastructure, and security compliance to ensure federal workspace meets operational, accessibility, and sustainability standards. Her domain knowledge centers on real estate asset management, lease negotiation, and federal property alignment within the broader GSA portfolio.
