The collection documents the real estate business investments and opportunities of the UCA, since the late 1960s. The Board of Director and Administration series documents the transition of the UCA from an independent corporation to the integrated unit of the University of Pennsylvania from 1982 to 1992. The minutes of the board of directors as well as their agendas and reports detail this process. These series also contain various letters, financial reports and drafts of agreements regarding the property management of the UCA. The property files trace the transactions on many of the properties the UCA has offered for lease during the 1980s and early 1990s. This series contains lease agreements signed between the UCA and tenants, administrative correspondence, some construction or maintenance records, and miscellaneous financial records including City of Philadelphia tax documents. Among the properties represented here are the former Episcopalian Philadelphia Divinity School, Walnut Mall, Chestnut Hall, Spruce Hall, University City Shopping Center, 133 South 38th Street, 3424 Sansom Street, and 3910 Chestnut Street. There are also appraisal reports of all the UCA properties held in 1985, some of which include photographs of the buildings.
