The Smart Space Act of 2026 requires GSA to explore alternative financing methods, like public-private partnerships, for building or renovating federal buildings. Within 90 days, GSA must hold public meetings with real estate and government experts, then submit a report within 120 days recommending financing methods and specific projects.
GSA, federal agencies that may be relocated or consolidated, and private real estate developers who could partner on projects. Congress and the President also play roles reviewing and approving next steps.
The process could reshape how federal agencies use building space and open opportunities for private-sector involvement, though any construction still requires separate congressional funding approval.
