COAERS is Moving

May contain: city, road, street, urban, advertisement, neighborhood, architecture, building, office building, convention center, poster, shop, shopping mall, condo, and housing

 

Starting Monday, April 1st, the retirement system will be opening its new headquarters located at 4700 Mueller Blvd.

Last Spring, the COAERS Board announced the purchase of the new facilities in the Mueller District following the evaluation of the System’s long-term needs to serve members, enhance operations, and reduce operating costs.

“The property’s location, facilities, and the ability to meet our organizational, staffing, and member needs now, and in the future, make it an excellent long-term home for COAERS,” said Executive Director Christopher Hanson. “The move will help COAERS continue to drive value for our members and better achieve our goal to provide them with high-quality services, education, and experiences.”

The new COAERS headquarters will provide additional space to expand retirement counseling services and events for COAERS members to access, and it will consolidate COAERS staff in one building.
