Los Angeles County has agreed to buy the Gas Company Tower in a foreclosure sale for $215M, pending approval by the county's Board of Supervisors.

The sale price represents a discount of nearly 66% from the $632M appraised value of the 52-story downtown Los Angeles trophy building in 2020 when it was the crown jewel of Brookfield's DTLA office portfolio.
