In 2016, a property proposal was extended to Jeffrey Epstein, offering him an opportunity to acquire a stake in a significant building near the Pentagon. The 84,710-square-metre complex was highlighted as a "mission-critical" site, capable of meeting the Department of Defense's space and infrastructure needs. The proposed purchase price was approximately $116 million, which would have positioned Epstein as a co-owner and landlord to the U.S. government.
There is no evidence indicating that the transaction was finalized. Nonetheless, the potential for a convicted sex offender to own property serving the Pentagon raised significant security concerns.
The Pentagon-linked proposal was part of three documents, including an email, an investor presentation, and a deal summary, recently released.

David Stern, an associate of Epstein, forwarded the Pentagon proposal. In 2015, Stern also introduced Epstein to another investment opportunity involving FBI field offices and courthouses, requiring an initial investment of $25 million, with a further $80 million routed through an offshore entity in the Cayman Islands. Both property proposals were originated by real estate investor Jonathan D Fascitelli.
