Office-to-Residential Conversions and Adaptive Reuse in South Florida
About this episode
The episode discusses the conversion of office spaces to residential units in South Florida, focusing on two projects and the factors influencing these decisions.
From office space to living space, the conversation over converting unused office space has been a topic of conversation since COVID. In this episode, we look at office to residential conversions in South Florida via two distinct projects: The Hazel in Doral and The Hyve at Dadeland . The conversation highlights how highest and best use, land size, zoning changes, construction costs, floor plate challenges, parking, walkability, transit access, and surrounding amenities all influence whether an office building is preserved, converted, or torn down. Overall, the episode frames these projects as major bets on South Florida’s evolving real estate market, especially as developers look for ways to turn aging office properties into housing while better connecting them to the communities around them.
