The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has signed a new 74,056-square-foot office lease at 145 S. Spring Street, a 10-story, 243,749-square-foot office building known as the former LA Times Building in downtown Los Angeles. The space will be used by the Federal Public Defenders Central District of California, which plans to move from its current 54,830-square-foot space at 321 E. 2nd St. during the first quarter of 2027.
“The GSA was attracted to the building due to its proximity to courthouses, the landlord’s ability to fund and perform tenant improvements, and overall competitive economics on the lease,” said Peter Hajimihalis, JLL senior managing director.
JLL’s LA team of Hajimihalis, James Malone and Dana Vargas, along with Howard Traul of JLL’s Government Investor Services team, represented the landlord, Onni Group, alongside the in-house leasing team of Neal Linthicum and Malcolm Kluth. GSA was represented by Timothy Pavek at Carpenter/Robbins Commercial Real Estate Inc.
