DISCUSSION
PGH Wong, a construction management consultant on the OC Streetcar project, has leased office at the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) since December 2018 and is requesting to continue leasing approximately 3,284 square feet of office space on the second floor of SARTC from the City through December 31, 2026.
Under the current lease, which expires on July 16, 2026, PGH Wong pays $2.75 per square foot. The proposed lease agreement reflects a Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase to $2.85 per square foot for a six-month term beginning July 17, 2026 through December 31, 2026, for a total monthly rate of $9,359. The lease will include up to one optional one-year extensions, with the monthly rate subject to CPI increase (Exhibit 1).
Staff evaluated current market conditions and negotiated a rental rate increase that reflects the value of the space and the temporary nature of the tenant's occupancy related to the OC Streetcar project. The negotiated rate provides continued rental revenue to the City while maintaining occupancy of the space.
