[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Out: storefronts and bricks and mortar stores In: high density urban living and restaurants / eateries[/quote] Yes! They need to turn this vacant office space into housing ASAP. People would gladly live downtown and then some of the shops/restaurants/life will come back. [/quote] There is no "ASAP" with what you propose. Any meaningful residential conversions will take decades. In the case of most office buildings, it would be more cost-effective to tear them down and build residential in its place. You can't just snap your fingers and convert an office building into apartments.[/quote] This one at 20th & L seems to have taken under two years: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/first-large-scale-office-to-residential-conversion-in-dcs-downtown-nears-completion-302085578.html[/quote]
