PCA conducted a Property Condition Assessment of U.S. Bancorp Center at 225 South Sixth in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The high-rise office complex was completed in 1992 and consists of two buildings — 53 and 18 stories — totaling approximately 1,401,233 square feet on a 1.67-acre site, served by three levels of subterranean parking. The complex includes 33 elevators and four escalators.
The engagement included architectural, structural, roofing, and mechanical/electrical/plumbing/fire-life-safety evaluations under ASTM E2018 protocols, along with curtain wall, vertical transportation, limited disabled-access, limited telecommunications, and limited parking garage delamination assessments. PCA also prepared building area take-off plans and completed a public records review. The curtain wall assessment informed envelope-replacement timing and immediate repair priorities, while the vertical transportation assessment produced a reserve estimate for elevator and escalator replacement timing. The parking garage delamination work supported concrete-restoration scoping and reserve sizing, and the disabled-access review documented accessibility compliance status to inform remediation planning. PCA quantified deferred maintenance and remaining-useful-life projections for the client’s reserve and capital planning, giving the client a defensible basis for prioritizing near-term repairs and sizing reserves across the property’s principal systems.
