While the commercial real industry will weather the current down cycle, some of the challenges stressed and distressed properties are facing today are different than those of prior downturns.

Project & Development Services: Office-to-Residential Conversion
Cushman & Wakefield’s analysis of the U.S. office market estimates as much as a quarter of current office inventory is functionally obsolescent. This means that over the next decade, nearly half of all inventory will require some level of repositioning or repurposing, including upgrades, to stay competitive. In this context, it’s not surprising that interest in conversions of some of this stock to alternative uses is high.

Is a Conversion Feasible for Your Property?
Through our years of experience with adaptive reuse and redevelopment projects and via our expertise in the complexities of conversions—design constraints, the requirements of specialized environments, construction costs, zoning issues and more—we developed a proprietary tool to help owners of real estate assets assess the feasibility of property conversions. And through collaboration with our market leasing and sales experts, we can help gauge market demand to better advise on the long-term success of reuse projects.
