The-Curtis-Philadelphia-1

By Michael Brookshier, vice president of development, Keystone The COVID-19 pandemic sent renters flocking to spacious apartments in the suburbs.

This re-acceleration to urban centers drives another trend in commercial real estate: converting outdated and vacant office buildings into stylish, amenity-filled residential buildings. To keep up, developers must strategically identify the right building, location and amenities in order to meet renters’ demands. Philadelphia is a perfect example of an 18- to 24-hour city in which a large residential population in the central business district drives foot traffic outside of regular office hours. The Center City area also boasts an attractive downtown landscape of diverse uses such as office, residential, retail, award-winning restaurants and nightlife. Find the Right Building The ideal candidate for a successful office-to-residential conversion in an urban setting is often an office building constructed before World War II.

LENEXA, KAN. — Vantage Point Properties has unveiled plans to develop the office phase of The Quarry mixed-use development in Lenexa. The three-building project will include 145,000 square feet of Class A office space. The overall development was originally announced as Reflections at City Center in summer 2022.

That process took on a life of its own, and we decided to change the development name accordingly.” As a salute the original project name, the apartment complex has been named Reflections Apartments.
