Federal Government Lists Pasadena Social Security Building For Possible Disposal

The United States General Services Administration has included the Social Security Administration building at 104 North Mentor in Pasadena on its list of non-core properties for Possible disposal.

The 12,805-square-foot facility appears on the General Services Administration’s roster of buildings and facilities that are not considered essential to government operations.

“Selling ensures that taxpayer dollars are no longer spent on vacant or underutilized federal spaces,” the General Services Administration stated in its property disposition announcement.

The agency emphasized that “disposing of these assets helps eliminate costly maintenance and allows us to reinvest in high-quality work environments that support agency missions.”

The Pasadena Social Security Administration building is currently among the properties designated for disposal as part of the federal government’s initiative to optimize its real estate holdings.

The General Services Administration indicated it would update the list of non-core properties as its assessment process continues to move forward.

According to the General Services Administration, the disposition of non-core properties serves multiple purposes beyond simple cost reduction for the federal government.

The strategy aims to address issues of vacancy and underutilization while redirecting resources toward facilities that better support federal agencies’ work.

The inclusion of the Pasadena facility on the list reflects the General Services Administration’s ongoing evaluation of government-owned properties throughout the country.

By identifying buildings not central to operations, the agency seeks to make more efficient use of federal real estate assets.

The General Services Administration provided limited specific details about the Pasadena property beyond its square footage and location.

The property appears alongside other facilities being evaluated for disposal as part of the broader initiative to streamline the government’s real estate portfolio.
