Looks like the FDIC anticipates a lot more clean-up ahead in Orange County, the former subprime capital of the world. FDIC is looking for 200,000 square feet of Los Angeles office space for a term of 3-5 years. That is in addition to the space they currently occupy in their newly acquired IndyMac Federal Bank. Maybe they should check out New Century’s old offices.
With senior regulators and bank cleaner-uppers shuttling in weekly from Washington DC and Dallas, maybe a few relocations could kick in a little local housing stimulus.
