Local reports show President Donald Trump's White House is about to sell two prominent federal buildings in San Francisco, including the Nancy Pelosi federal building in San Francisco.
From her formal dedication to a former house speaker in December, the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building, a two-year-old 18-storey tower known as a San Francisco federal building, is located on Mission and Seventh Avenue in the long-standing area. Outdoor drug trade, illegal markets are plagued by reselling stolen goods and other crimes.
In addition to the Pelosi's building with the same name, the Trump administration is reportedly considering selling a 1930s federal building at 50 United Nations Plazas, which currently serve as the regional headquarters of the US General Services Agency (GSA). . Potential sales were reported by KGO-TV and the San Francisco Chronicle. The San Francisco Chronicle said it could potentially sell both federal assets in San Francisco as “non-core” assets.
In 2023, hundreds of federal employees from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) assigned to the building were instructed to work from home amid aggravating safety concerns. San Francisco Chronicle It has been reported. At the time, Sen. Joni Ernst of R-Iowa called for the closure as drugs were being handled at the building's gateway.
“It's another example of how he comes after the Democrats. He comes after California, and it's all about payback,” said former Democrat Jackie Spayer. I told the KGO, I'll refer to Trump. “Leaves continue to increase and you'll pay lessor's property taxes, but if you're a federal government, you won't pay federal taxes.”
In the 2020 executive order, Trump is an energy-efficient “green” structure that opened in 2007, as San Franciscans are considered “one of the city's most gli-prone structures.” We explained the buildings of the 7th Avenue Federation.
Andy Ball, a developer who worked as a concrete subcontractor at the building 20 years ago, told the Chronicle that the project was a “waste of taxpayer money from day one.”
“There would not have been any investors building this building,” Ball said, estimating the cost would be “50% higher” than if the project had been funded by the private sector. “In this market, it represents the biggest difference between the cost of building and its selling value.”
The sale of potential buildings comes as the Trump administration continues to strive to the shortcomings of the federal bureaucracy through Elon Musk's Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk remains active at the former 800,000-square-foot Twitter headquarters in San Francisco, but was rebranded last year as his tech company, X Corporation.
According to the Chronicle, overall vacancies in downtown San Francisco reached 37% last year, with vacancy rates in particular in the mid-market area reaching 55%.
As of December, the Federal Protection Services had tightened security on the corner since the 7th Avenue federal building was officially named after Pelosi, who has represented San Francisco in Congress for more than 37 years. Residents who spoke with KGO-TV lamented that federal employees benefited from armed security, but that the problem seemed just blocked, as everyday citizens were not. . The building, which can accommodate approximately 2,000 workers, currently houses offices of Pelosi, HHS, the Social Security Agency, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Labor, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Fox News Digital contacted the Pelosi office as well as the GSA and the White House for comments on Sunday, but did not immediately respond.
