Interestingly coincidental that the old LIO monthly lease payments (before "remodel") equals about the same amount in monthly payments if this purchase was amortized over 30 years.  This building could probably be bought now for $ 9 or 10 million if some good negotiators  were given the green light. Otherwise I say, wait a couple of years for the Legislature to improve their report card and in the meantime rent out the Atwood. And if they are good boys and girls and can get their grades up, may be we'll buy them that 1998 Chevy that runs just fine, or another older model that will come available soon at a reduced price due to a slowdown in the economy.
