HUD plans move to Alexandria, booting National Science Foundation from its HQ
The Department of Housing and Urban Development will move its employees out of D.C. to Alexandria, Virginia, booting the National Science Foundation from its headquarters, officials announced Wednesday.

Government officials said it’s the first major agency to relocate its headquarters as part of the Trump administration’s effort to reduce federal real estate footprint.

HUD plans to move from its office on 7th Street in Southwest D.C. to 2415 Eisenhower Ave., Alexandria — a building currently occupied by 1,800 employees of the National Science Foundation.

HUD Secretary Scott Turner announced the move during a news conference Wednesday morning alongside Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Michael Peters, the commissioner of the General Service Administration’s Public Building Service.
