The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking information for a market research initiative to lease approximately 12,529 RSF of medical space for clinical use. The space must include a minimum of 70 parking spaces and be located within a delineated area. The VA will consider leased space in existing buildings first, followed by build-to-suit options. The lease term will be for 10 years, with potential for extensions. The space must comply with federal and local government requirements for fire safety, physical security, accessibility, seismic, and sustainability standards, as well as Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance and specific security requirements. The VA will not be responsible for operating expenses, which are the lessor's responsibility. Interested parties are invited to submit expressions of interest electronically by 5:00 p. m.
