01

Canonical identity

This Public Seed establishes the physical building identity separately from the Railroad Retirement Board agency identity and preserves the supplied west-direction address as a source-record error rather than an alias.

Management routeGSA portfolio stewardship is publicly documented; current day-to-day property management and contractual scope are unverified

02

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.

03

What public guidance supports

Identity correction

Authoritative federal sources identify 844 North Rush Street and the William O. Lipinski Federal Building; the supplied 844 West address is retained only as a source-record error.
