The county of Los Angeles has tentatively agreed to buy the Gas Company Tower, a prominent office skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles, for $215 million in a foreclosure sale. The price is a deep discount from its appraised value of $632 million in 2020, underscoring how much downtown office values have fallen in recent years.
