GSA to auction excess federal property in Orange County

12.36-acre property now available in Los Alamitos

SAN FRANCISCO — The U.S. General Services Administration announces the start of a public sale of Poplar Plaza on Monday, June 21, 2021. GSA encourages developers, investors and other potential buyers to consider this opportunity to purchase this 12.36 acre property in the highly desirable community of Los Alamitos, Calif.

This property was identified as one of the properties for the high-value round under the Federal Asset Sale and Transfer Act (FASTA - PL 114-287). Under the FASTA legislation, proceeds from property sales in the high-value round will be used to fund further potential sales of unneeded federal property and consolidation actions to save taxpayer funds. 

Poplar Plaza is located at 4665 Lampson Avenue, Los Alamitos, Calif., 90720. The 12.36+/- acres property is improved with a two-story building (88,000 +/- square feet), and is currently being used as commercial office space. The Navy Golf Course is immediately northeast of the property and the Old Ranch Country Club is west of the property. South of the property is a tract of single-family residential homes.
