FBI seeks new digs in E. Memphis |

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking to move into new real estate following an East Memphis lease expiration in 2015.

A modest 96,000 square feet with a "modern" and "prestigious" feel is what the Bureau is after, along with a "campus-like atmosphere."

The General Services Administration handles real estate leasing for the FBI and indicate that the Bureau is seeking a long-term lease.

The Downtown Memphis Commission recommended the downtown area as a plausible new home for the FBI but officials have not commented on any decisions as of yet.
