Additional Notes
The VA currently occupies space in Gainesville, Florida, expiring May 31, 2027, and will consider alternative space if economically advantageous, factoring in relocation costs. This is a market research effort, not a solicitation for offers or proposals. A Request for Lease Proposal (RLP) may be issued at a later date. Interested offerors (owners, brokers, or their legal representatives) should submit specific information about their properties, including photos, general layout, location, and approximate price-per-square-foot. The VA will not pay commissions and assumes no responsibility to award a lease based on responses to this advertisement. Only proposals from owners, landlords, lessors, or their legal representatives will be considered when actual solicitations are sought.
