The Trump administration intends to put 10 federal buildings up for sale in Oregon, according to the U.S. General Services Administration. They’re among hundreds of federal properties across the country “designated for disposal.”

The potential sales come as the Department of Government Efficiency, an office created by President Donald Trump with billionaire Elon Musk, has vowed to slash spending across the federal government. Thousands of federal workers have been fired in the process.

The U.S. General Services Administration has identified more than 400 buildings across the country that it says are “non-core assets” that could be sold.

“Federally-owned assets in GSA’s portfolio that are not core to government operations primarily consist of office space,” the GSA said in a statement. “GSA currently owns and maintains over 440 non-core assets comprising almost 80 million rentable square feet across the nation and representing over $8.3 billion in recapitalization needs. Decades of funding deficiencies have resulted in many of these buildings becoming functionally obsolete and unsuitable for use by our federal workforce.”

The list includes three buildings in Portland, including the Bonneville Power Administration building on Northeast 11th Avenue. Bonneville Power is a self-funded federal agency that manages the majority of the Pacific Northwest’s power grid. It was recently targeted for layoffs, which were partially reversed.

The buildings slated for sale in Oregon are:

• David J Wheeler Federal Building, Baker City
• Eugene Federal Building, Eugene
• James A. Redden U.S. Courthouse, Medford
• USGS Building, Medford
• USGS Warehouse, Medford
• 911 Federal Building, Portland
• BPA Building, Portland
• Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt Federal Building, Portland
• Troutdale Metal Shed, Troutdale
• Troutdale Warehouse, Troutdale

In Southwest Washington, the Vancouver Federal Building is also marked for possible sale, according to the GSA records.

DOGE has also said it plans to cancel 12 leases involving Oregon properties, with annual lease amounts totaling more than $1.5 million annually.

DOGE intends to cancel leases affecting Food and Drug Administration offices in three Oregon cities — Portland, Salem and Medford — as well as a U.S. Forest Service office in Klamath Falls, and the Federal Railroad Administration in Bend.
