The move is part of a broader effort by GSA’s Public Buildings Service to offload properties and leases the Trump administration has deemed no longer essential to government operations. The agency owns more than 440 buildings nationwide, covering nearly 80 million square feet.

Hundreds of the 443 listed properties will likely still be sold, but the process will be better explained when the list is republished, the General Services Administration says.

The Trump administration posted a list of properties eligible for sale, then shortened it and finally removed it altogether, causing confusion across the government.

Donald Trump's administration on Wednesday took down a directory of federal facilities it had listed for possible sale that included some of the U.S. government's most iconic properties. The apparent change of course comes one day after the U.

The United States General Services Administration announced Tuesday that it is selling off more than $8 billion in office space.
