Recent Updates: The purchaser is identified as a governmental entity, the Resource Conservation District of Tehama County (RCDTC).
Concerns Regarding the Purchase:
- The rationale behind a governmental organization acquiring one of the priciest buildings in the market.
- The disparity in asking prices: 202 Walnut Street is listed at $129 per square foot for 4,192 square feet, versus office building 714 Main Street at $46 per square foot for 11,348 square feet.
- The RCDTC's wrote their current staff count is 31.
- The property at 202 Walnut Street only offers 4-6 residential parking spaces.
- With only 2 floors, 202 Walnut Street features slightly over 2,000 square feet per floor with a large Chinese style staircase creating a large building core.
- 202 Walnut Street possesses cultural and historical significance, which does not align with the conservation goals and mission of the RCDTC.
- Save the wall with inscribed names spanning generations, marking the legacy of the last Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors in all of Northern California.
- Any modifications to the property should include an Environmental Site Impact report to assess and address potential negative impacts on its status as a national landmark.
- Since the RCDTC is overseen by a board of seven Directors, appointed by the Tehama County Board of Supervisors, we are seeking their oversight.
