SAN ANTONIO \u2013 As opposition ramps up for a proposed immigrant detention facility on San Antonio\u2019s East Side, the federal government has planted a flag elsewhere.<\/p>\n

The government awarded two contracts worth about $51.2 million for office leases at WatersEdge, a two-building office complex at Brooks, for Immigration and Customs Enforcement use, federal records show. The buildings are at 7515 and 7611 Inner Circle Drive.<\/p>\n

One lease is worth about $42.4 million, while the other is about $8.7 million.<\/p>\n

The two 15-year leases cover approximately 75,000 square feet across three of four floors in WatersEdge II, Leo Gomez, CEO of Brooks, said in a letter to San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones.<\/p>\n

He said the leases will accommodate federal immigration-related functions, including the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA) and the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), which handle immigration legal proceedings and hearings.<\/p>\n
