After more 40 years at 1626 E St., The Fresno Bee will move to a new home.

According to a story on The Fresno Bee website, the paper will relocate its news and advertising operations to the newly renovated Bitwise 41 building at Ventura and R streets.

The current Bee building will be shuttered, and has been listed as available online since the end of January, according to LoopNet.

“When looking for a new location we wanted to find a place that kept The Bee in the core of the Downtown area and made us a part of its rebirth,” said Publisher Tim Ritchey in the Bee article.

The Business Journal first reported in 2017 that The Bee was looking for a new home, with then-Publisher Tom Cullinan saying the 300,000 square-foot facility on E Street was “way too much space.”

He added that their operations at the time took about 10% of the building.

Most of the Bee’s staff should be moved into the new building by the end of February, according to the Bee article.
