What is Enhanced Use Lease?
• Authority under Title 10 USC 2667 for Military Departments to lease land and/or facilities for no less than the fair market value of the real property leased
• EUL gives the Army the ability to leverage available non-excess property for in cash or in-kind consideration that can be used towards improvements in infrastructure, facilities, and quality of life on our installations
• Off-set declining Operation & Maintenance budgets• Avoid cost of maintaining or razing old building• Free-up space for increased or new missions• Bring tenants who are synergistic with missions of
installations• Increases the real value of our property over the
course of the development/lease
EUL is not…• Sale of Garrison land• Public-private partnership; all
risk is on selected developer• Meant as a build-to-suit for
federal tenants or as a replacement for MILCON
