HISTORIC PROPERTIES OFFERING The U.S. General Services Administration is seeking bids for the acquisition, renovation, and redevelopment of the northern portion of Square 406, 800 F Street Historic Row, Washington, DC. This historic redevelopment site is located in the heart of downtown Washington's most active new marketplace, one block from the MCI Center, and close to many major developments and attractions. The marketing of this assemblage -- including the extraordinary LeDroit Building -- coincides with the U.S. funded reopening of F and 8th Streets, re-establishing F Street's historic role as a primary downtown commercial corridor. This former Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation property totals 24,601 square feet of land and is estimated to support more than 100,000 square feet of buildable area covering a mix of land uses. Bidder responses are due in January 1998 with award scheduled to follow one month thereafter. The RFP describing this offering in more detail is available by written request sent to: JaneJ.
