If the primary owner of the Washington Nationals gets his way, the Landover Mall will become the new site of the FBI’s headquarters.
The Washington Post reports that Lerner Enterprises, a development firm run by the Nationals owner, has submitted the 88-acre site for consideration as the bureau’s new headquarters.
Sears is the only remaining tenant in the mall, and Sears is on its way out.
“With Sears closed the confusion that existed as to the availability of the entire site should be eliminated. We would hope to attract a major user or users to the site possibly the FBI. In that regard we have submitted the site to the GSA,” Alan H. Gottlieb, chief operating officer of Lerner Enterprises, told the Post in an e-mail.
