PCA conducted due-diligence services on Pacwest Center at 1211 SW Fifth Avenue in Portland, Oregon — a 30-story high-rise office building completed in 1984. The property totals approximately 522,002 square feet on a 1.19-acre site and includes 15 elevators. The engagement combined a Property Condition Assessment with environmental screening and several specialized building-system reviews.
PCA performed architectural, mechanical/electrical/plumbing/fire-life-safety, roofing, seismic structural, curtain wall, and vertical transportation assessments, supplemented by a public records review and a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment under ASTM E1527. The 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 15 cars. The roofing assessment established repair-vs-replacement timing for near-term capital planning, and the Phase I screened for recognized environmental conditions to inform the client’s environmental risk position. PCA quantified deferred maintenance and remaining-useful-life projections under ASTM E2018 protocols, giving the client a consolidated basis for reserve sizing and prioritization of capital repairs.
