About This Project

PCA performed a Property Condition Assessment of Hubbell Tower at 904 Walnut Street in Des Moines, Iowa. The multifamily property comprises a single 10-story building with one basement level, totaling approximately 48,282 square feet across 73 units on a 0.433-acre site. The building was originally constructed in 1913 and renovated in 2006.

The engagement included architectural, structural, roofing, and mechanical/electrical/plumbing/limited fire- and life-safety evaluations under ASTM E2018 protocols, along with a limited façade assessment and a 100% unit-by-unit interior walk. The façade assessment informed envelope-repair priorities for the century-old structure, while the unit-by-unit walk yielded unit-level deferred-maintenance and condition data across all 73 residences. PCA documented observed conditions and quantified deferred maintenance and remaining-useful-life projections for the client’s reserve and capital planning. The consolidated findings gave the client a defensible basis for prioritizing immediate repairs and sizing reserves for the property’s principal systems.
