The Occupational Safety and Health Administration center in Andover is among the hundreds of federal government offices to have its lease cut by the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency.
The lease termination was one of more than 740 as of Tuesday morning. DOGE said ending the lease will save $140,716 in annual leasing fees. It is not clear if the office will be relocated or if employees working there will be terminated.
The 4,903-square-foot office is located in the Shattuck Office Center at 138 River Road. It is one of four OSHA Massachusetts State Plan offices, which covers state and local government employees. The offices in Braintree, Springfield, and Taunto are not on DOGE’s list of lease terminations.
Spokespeople for Shattuck Office Center and OSHA were not immediately available for comment Tuesday morning.
DOGE ordered the Public Buildings Service at the General Services Administration, which manages the federal government’s buildings, to terminate leases that allow for an early exit. DOGE estimates the lease cancellations have already saved $660 million, and that up to 3,000 leases can be terminated without penalty. GSA has a portfolio of about 7,000 leases.
