Things to watch (4)
- Worth checking: Date passed (Jun 12, 2026): Estimated occupancy date is June 12, 2026. The notice lists occupancy as June 12, 2026, which is earlier than its November 2026 expressions-of-interest and market survey dates, so the occupancy date may be wrong; ask the leasing office.
- Worth checking: Property must sit in a small delineated area. Only buildings inside the boundary streets qualify.
- Worth checking: Floodplain exclusion. A building in the 1-percent-annual-chance floodplain is not acceptable.

- Minor: Government may stay in its current building. The Government will only move if alternative space is economically advantageous after counting move and replication costs.
