PCA conducted a Property Condition Assessment of Civic Center Plaza, also known as the Denver Post Tower, located at 1560 Broadway in Denver, Colorado. The 22-story high-rise office building totals approximately 585,950 square feet on a 0.83-acre site and was completed in 1985. The property includes 18 elevators serving the tower.

The engagement included architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and limited fire- and life-safety evaluations, along with roofing, curtain wall, and vertical transportation assessments performed under ASTM E2018 protocols. PCA’s curtain wall assessment informed envelope-replacement timing and immediate repair priorities, while the vertical transportation assessment produced a reserve estimate for elevator replacement timing across the building’s 18 cabs. Roofing observations established repair-versus-replacement timing for near-term capital planning. PCA documented observed conditions and quantified deferred maintenance and remaining-useful-life projections to support the client’s reserve and capital planning. The consolidated findings gave the client a defensible basis for prioritizing immediate repairs and sizing reserves across the property’s principal systems.
