From the meeting
At its October 22, 2026 meeting, Real Estate Management sought approval to buy the property at 605 S. Wolcott Avenue, where CCH occupies about 71,055 rentable square feet. The county said it has three years left on the current lease and three 10-year renewal options, and the purchase could save about $18 million over 13 years.
Negotiations were still ongoing, so this is a real estate buying trigger with future lease timing.
