Army Seeks 165k of Space Near Fort Meade

The U.S. Army is seeking to lease between 125,000 and 165,000 square feet of top office space within 10 miles of Fort Meade, according to a recent solicitation notice. 

The notice calls for "Class A" office space with a Level III security level. (There are four levels.)

Interested parties were asked to respond by May 1, with briefings scheduled this week. 

The Baltimore Business Journal reported that there are no existing buildings that meet the Army's criteria. However, Corporate Office Properties Trust is building more than 130,000 square feet of space at the National Business Park. 

In Odenton, there are no buildings that meet the criteria, though the Halle Cos. has proposed as much as 3.5 million square feet of office space near the intersection of Route 32 and Route 175.
