Canonical identity

This Public Seed treats the office/retail and residential-condominium components as separate operating domains. It preserves source conflicts over story scope, residential unit count, area and 2024 receivership status instead of collapsing them into a single current claim.

Property typeMixed office, retail and residential condominium
Management routeTranswestern's current pages identify Amy Schult as property manager for the office-facing McCormick Building. Her profile does not establish authority for a specific action or for the residential component.
Ownership claimCurrent legal title and residential-condominium governance were not verified. A 2024 report described receivership and foreclosure context, which is retained only as dated history.

Area claims stay separate

Gross, rentable, and office area are not interchangeable. Factum stores each measurement with its source meaning instead of choosing a convenient single number.

What public guidance supports

These are sourced research answers, not permission to enter, reserve, submit, or dispatch. Current affected-party authorization remains required.

Separate operating domains

Public evidence supports office/retail and residential-condominium components. Authority for one component must not be assumed to apply to the other.

Questions this record answers

Each concise answer includes the same caveats shown elsewhere on the page.

01Who manages the McCormick Building?+

Transwestern currently identifies Amy Schult as property manager for the office-facing building. Residential-condominium governance and the scope of any action authority remain unverified.

02Is the building entirely office space?+

No. Historical project evidence supports offices below and a residential-condominium component on the upper floors. The exact current unit count and governance are unresolved.

03Why do the area and story figures differ?+

Sources mix office-component and whole-building scopes and use different area predicates. Factum keeps those figures separate instead of normalizing them without proof.

04How can I improve this record?+

Submit a current public handbook, dock guide, move rule, COI package or condominium-governance source and state whether it may be displayed publicly, used only for verification or retained privately. Contributions enter evidence review.
