Pioneer performed a PCA of a 100-year old 12-story building in downtown Chicago. The building included a full basement with original boilers and vaults under the public sidewalks. The assessment included an evaluation of the terra cotta façade and its inspection and maintenance history in accordance with the applicable City of Chicago building codes and Façade Ordinance. Renovation costs and future capital costs were analyzed for reconfiguring the use of the building and to address the on-going maintenance costs.
