Our Projects

PCA performed a Property Condition Assessment of Bayfair Center, a retail mall located at 15555 East 14th Street in San Leandro, California. The property comprises 13 buildings totaling approximately 669,246 square feet on a 42.11-acre site, with one- and two-story structures originally constructed in 1957 and expanded in 1988, 2005, and 2015. The site includes 2,303 surface parking spaces, and the center is served by six elevators and six escalators.

The engagement included architectural, mechanical/electrical/plumbing, fire- and life-safety, structural-seismic, roofing, and vertical transportation assessments conducted under ASTM E2018 protocols. PCA’s roofing assessment established repair-versus-replacement timing across the multiple building vintages for near-term capital planning, and the vertical transportation assessment produced a reserve estimate for elevator and escalator replacement timing. The structural-seismic review informed structural risk evaluation for the older portions of the center. PCA documented observed conditions across the building systems 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 across a multi-building retail portfolio of varying ages.
