Lease State-Owned Real Estate

Overview

DAS Leasing and Property Transfer conducts real estate transactions on behalf of the State of Connecticut. DAS provides these services to most state agencies and the judicial branch, with some exceptions such as the Connecticut Department of Labor, Connecticut Department of Transportation and UCONN. DAS may, at times, lease state-owned land, buildings and facilities to municipalities for municipal use, or to private individuals when such land, buildings and facilities are otherwise not used or needed for state use and such action seems desirable to produce income or is otherwise in the public interest.  

As of June 30, 2026, DAS has a lease portfolio of 1,788,563 net usable square feet in 116 leases/license agreements and an additional 67 leases in which the state is the lessor for a total of 183 lease agreements.
