This type of arrangement isn't novel. Property is high and the space is underutilized. Sell high, lease the fraction that you need, and have the option to buy back at the end of the contract (often with the right of first refusal.) On your second point: it does look like there are going to be significantly fewer federal employees, so unless there are also going to be big relocation programs, most of these places are going to continue to be under capacity. It's not in anyone's interest to have these places locked up, especially in urban cores. edit: as usual, I'm curious what my error is here. Please explain. Thanks.
