NASA Focuses Headquarters Search on Washington, D.C., Impacting Local Economy
NASA has renewed its search for a new headquarters location, focusing on Washington, D.C. The agency is seeking a site that offers between 375,000 and 525,000 square feet, with proximity to a Metro station and facilities for STEM outreach. This move comes as NASA's current lease at 300 E Street Southwest is set to expire in August 2028. The agency's decision to remain in D.C. is part of a broader trend of federal agencies consolidating in the downtown area, which could reshape the local office market.
