Where I live many offices have already been converted to apartments.
Thats great but I don’t think my office building could ever be converted. It has a central core and 3 wings (shape like mercedes symbol) but most of the plumbing is either in the middle or at the end of each wing.
That's the problem with office highrises, too - it would take a huge amount of work to install the plumbing necessary for them to become housing.
... and HVAC and power with the internal wall change and sound-insulation.
