Historic Montpelier Federal Building Goes to Auction

Bidding to begin on property with prime development potential

MONTPELIER, Vt. - Today, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced the public auction of the Montpelier Federal Building in Vermont. This listing represents a strategic step in GSA's campaign to strengthen the federal real estate portfolio, reduce costs for American taxpayers, and enhance space for agencies to accomplish their missions.

"GSA continues to sell underutilized properties across the country to consolidate the federal footprint," said GSA Administrator Edward C. Forst. "We are delivering on President Trump's agenda to cut waste and save American taxpayer dollars by executing on smart real estate decisions."

Located at 87 State St., this 3-story, 70,000-square-foot contemporary office building sits on approximately 1.6 acres in Montpelier's governmental district. The property's prime location makes it ideal for reinvestment that will preserve the area's civic character, while promoting downtown economic vitality. The building accommodates office, administrative and storage functions, and is surrounded by government and commercial properties.

The online auction, beginning today, demonstrates GSA's ongoing success in serving American taxpayers through responsible asset management and fiscal discipline.
