The Real Estate Development Division leads execution of Air Force Enhanced Use Lease, Value Based Transactions, Encroachment Management Partnerships and other legacy-based programs. An EUL is a partnership between the Air Force and public entities or private developers to create mutually beneficial commercial projects on non-excess Air Force real estate. In exchange for leasing property, the Air Force receives cash or in-kind consideration, at or above fair market value. EUL projects range from energy to commercial real estate development.

An EMP is an Air Force partnership with a state or political subdivision of state, or a private entity with its stated principal organizational purpose or goal being the conservation, restoration or preservation of land or natural resources in pursuit of restrictive-use or conservation easements to protect Air Force missions from encroachment.

The division's real estate development team provides lifecycle project support. It is organized into three distinct branches: strategic asset utilization, Enhanced Use Lease execution and portfolio management.
 

tabStrategic Asset Utilization Branch 
The Strategic Asset Utilization Branch develops cooperative agreements with eligible entities, develops OSD readiness environmental protection integration, or REPI, proposals, advocates and allocates funding, and oversees lifecycle project execution. The objective is to gain program investment by eligible entities, in order to minimize encroachment threats in and around Air Force installations.
tabExecution Branch 
The Execution Branch takes EUL opportunities from conceptual development and advances projects through to lease signature.
