Mike Richmond

Mike Richmond serves as Executive Director of the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he oversees the strategic acquisition and management of nonresidential real estate assets to support federal agency operations nationwide. In this role, he directs the procurement of commercial office space and related real property leases, ensuring federal facilities are secure, efficient, and cost-optimized. His portfolio centers on long-term leasing transactions under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, with a focus on portfolio rationalization and footprint consolidation across high-demand urban and suburban markets. Mr. Richmond maintains consistent partnerships 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 relationships are built on long-term lease agreements for turnkey office spaces, often involving build-to-suit arrangements, tenant improvement allowances, and performance-based lease structures. His contracting approach emphasizes stability, risk mitigation, and compliance with GSA leasing standards, favoring established commercial landlords with proven track records in federal tenant services. Mr. Richmond’s procurement activity reflects a 100% no set-aside strategy, with no reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. His office prioritizes market-driven competition and value optimization over socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with GSA’s broader mandate to secure the most cost-effective real estate solutions for federal agencies. His primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—reflecting deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing, space planning, and facility management contracting. He specializes in negotiating complex ground leases, triple-net leases, and master lease agreements for Class A and B office properties, demonstrating advanced knowledge of real estate finance, zoning compliance, and federal property law.
