Our Projects

PCA performed a Property Condition Assessment of The Shops at Tanforan, located at 1150 El Camino Real in San Bruno, California. The regional mall comprises two buildings totaling approximately 969,009 square feet on a 42.43-acre site, with structures ranging from two to three stories. The property was originally built in 1971 and underwent renovations and additions in 2005 and 2008. The site includes 4,074 surface parking spaces, and the buildings are served by nine elevators and eight escalators.

The engagement included architectural, mechanical/electrical/plumbing, fire- and life-safety, structural-seismic, roofing, and vertical transportation assessments under ASTM E2018 protocols. PCA’s roofing evaluation established repair-versus-replacement timing for near-term capital planning, and the vertical transportation assessment produced a reserve estimate for elevator and escalator replacement timing across the nine elevators and eight escalators serving the property. The structural-seismic review and envelope observations were documented alongside MEP and life-safety findings, and the team quantified deferred maintenance and remaining-useful-life projections for the client’s reserve and capital planning. The consolidated findings supported the client’s decision-making process for an asset of this scale and vintage.
