Canonical identity
This Public Seed connects the Time-Life Building to its source-scoped Chicago benchmark record and architectural history while keeping occupant contacts separate from building-management authority.
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.
