Summary
Shared Property Agency Collaboration and Engagement Act of 2025 or the SPACE Act of 2025
This bill directs the General Services Administration (GSA) to collaborate with federal agencies regarding the use of shared-space arrangements in federally leased buildings.
The GSA must (1) collaborate with tenants of federally leased space to better identify concerns around shared-space arrangements; (2) develop criteria that would facilitate the expanded use of space sharing; (3) identify how special-use space can be used to improve space sharing; and (4) establish measurable objectives, in consultation with tenants, to quantify the success of shared-space arrangements among federal agencies.
GSA must brief Congress on implementation of the bill within six months after the bill's enactment.
