Commercial-to-Residential Building Conversions Help Fill Housing Shortage Nationally

by Jeff Shaw October 17, 2022

NEW YORK — The COVID-19 pandemic left many offices and commercial districts vacant, as employees worked from their homes and left cities to seek housing in more suburban areas. Simultaneously, hundreds of U.S. cities have been unable to meet housing demands for both homes to buy and homes to rent. Developers are eyeing adaptive reuse projects to address both issues. Adaptive reuse means repurposing an existing structure for a new use. Commercial-to-residential conversions are a form of adaptive reuse whereby office developments, retail spaces and hotel properties are converted into multifamily communities. Office conversions are the most common form of commercial-to-residential transformation. Forty-one percent of all rental apartment conversions in 2020 and 2021 involved former office buildings. Former factories and hotels are also common structures to be converted, according to RentCafe, a Yardi Systems apartment listing and management service, which also conducts research and publishes reports on local, state and national level multifamily dynamics. In 2020, developers completed 11,800 commercial -to-residential conversions — more than double the 5,271 units completed in 2010.The number nearly doubled again in 2021, when an approximate 20,122 units were slated for completion before the end of the year. The National Apartment Association (NAA) expects nearly 53,000 …
