Is it possible to constrain a rectangle to be concentric with another rectangle? (self.freecad)

I have the following:

I want the center rectangle to be concentric with the outer rectangle (the separation of each edge should be equal). What's the best way to do this?

I'm by no means a FreeCAD expert, so it's possible there are better options.

If you're using parameters -- specifically the same parameters for both rectangles -- then it should be as simple as making a coincident contraint on the center points.
