A spokesperson for the payer told the newspaper its office space “experienced low utilization and occupation” since switching to a hybrid work model. 

The insurer previously sold two office buildings behind its 443,000-square-foot headquarters. BCBS Minnesota does not own the building housing its headquarters, which it sold to a real estate investment company in 2012. 

UnitedHealth Group also intends to vacate its 20-acre corporate headquarters in Minnetonka, Minn. In October 2022, the company had at least 780,000 square feet of office space up for lease in Minnesota.
