PNC Bank

Overview:

PNC Realty Services manages all aspects of PNC's real estate needs by teaming professional consultants in architecture, engineering, and all related fields to ensure smooth operational process from due diligence through completion of construction.

Challenge:

PNC has banking branches in 19 states and the District of Columbia. When PNC opens new banking branches, it obtains permits from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). As part of the OCC permitting process, PNC must certify that it has met all requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. PNC also certifies that its projects meet all local and state historic preservation requirements.

Solution:

PNC Realty Services consulted with History Matters to ensure that federal regulators and all state and local historic preservation offices approve the location, design, and construction of any new PNC branch. History Matters is PNC’s historic preservation consultant.

Result:

History Matters has helped and continues to help PNC Realty Services meet and exceed all historic preservation regulations for branches throughout the PNC banking system.
