Robert Terry

Robert Terry serves as a Realty Specialist within the Pbs R5 Office of Leasing under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he manages the acquisition and administration of federal leasehold interests in nonresidential commercial and institutional real estate. His role is central to fulfilling the agency’s mission of securing flexible, secure, and cost-effective space to support federal operations nationwide. Terry handles a portfolio of lease agreements and construction-related real property transactions, ensuring compliance with federal leasing regulations and alignment with agency space standards. He works closely with property owners, developers, and construction firms to negotiate terms, conduct site evaluations, and execute lease instruments that meet operational and fiscal requirements. Terry’s primary contractor relationships involve lessors of commercial office space and firms engaged in commercial and institutional building construction, with Metropolitan Airports Commission being a key partner. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established real estate entities capable of delivering turnkey leased facilities or build-to-suit solutions, often requiring coordination between property ownership, tenant improvements, and long-term maintenance obligations. He maintains professional, transactional partnerships with vendors who demonstrate reliability in delivering compliant, mission-critical space solutions. His contracting activity reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate effort to engage small business lessors and builders. While the majority of acquisitions are unrestricted, Terry consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses in real estate leasing and construction sectors, aligning with GSA’s broader commitment to equitable contracting. His technical expertise centers on NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property), and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). He specializes in procuring fully leased office facilities, adaptive reuse properties, and build-to-suit developments, demonstrating deep familiarity with real estate law, lease structuring, and facility planning for federal occupancy requirements.
