About This Project

PCA performed a Property Condition Assessment of the Doctors Professional Building at 280 North Smith Avenue in St. Paul, Minnesota. The eight-story medical office facility totals approximately 80,984 square feet on a 0.34-acre site, with original construction dating to 1971 and a 1979 addition. PCA’s scope addressed the building’s principal systems, envelope, and supporting documentation relevant to the engagement.

The engagement included architectural, structural, roofing, exterior building, mechanical/electrical/plumbing with limited fire-life safety, and dedicated fire- and life-safety evaluations under ASTM E2018 protocols, along with a vertical transportation assessment and a public records review. PCA documented observed conditions and quantified deferred maintenance and remaining-useful-life projections to support the client’s reserve and capital planning. The vertical transportation assessment produced a reserve estimate for elevator replacement timing, while the public records review supplemented field findings with documentation context. Consolidated findings gave the client a defensible basis for prioritizing immediate repairs and sizing reserves for the property’s principal systems.
