DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS


Enhanced-Use Lease of the Department of Veterans Affairs Real 
Property for the Continued Management, Maintenance, and Operation of a 
Mixed-Use Development, Including an Office Building, on a Parcel of 
Land Totaling Approximately 15 Acres in Columbia, South Carolina

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs

ACTION: Amended Notice of Intent to Enter into an Enhanced-Use Lease 
Amendment

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Secretary of VA intends to amend the scope and terms of an 
existing Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) that was entered into on November 19, 
2007, for a parcel of approximately 28 acres of land, for the purpose 
of developing, financing, constructing, managing, maintaining, and 
operating a mixed-use development. Since that time, the needs of the 
local VA Medical Center have changed such that VA now requires taking 
back control of a 13 acre portion of the original parcel included in 
the EUL in order to renovate an existing historical building, construct 
additional facilities on the parcel, and obtain parking spaces. This 
notice provides details on the scope of the amended EUL. The EUL Lessee 
will continue to manage, maintain, and operate a mixed-use development 
on 15 acres, including a 137,000 square foot office building. The 
Lessee will also provide ground lease rent payments to support 
additional Veteran services.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Edward L. Bradley III, Office of Asset 
Enterprise Management (044), Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 
Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20420, (202) 461-7778.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As required under Section 211(b)(2)(B) of 
Public Law 112-154, because the EUL was entered into prior to January 
1, 2012, this amended EUL will adhere to the prior version of VA's EUL 
statute as in effect on August 5, 2011.
