Convert to apartments

Make profit

Tada!

[-] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 11 points 3 days ago

I agree this is what should be done! Though it is surprising challenging to convert an office building to an apartment.

One issue, for example, is that the plumbing and electricity lines tend to be located on one end of the building. If you want to convert it to apartments, you have to reroute all the plumbing.

In the US, there are also rules about the number of stair cases. That’s why many apartments here are long and flat buildings of 3-4 floors rather than taller, taking up less space.
