This is the real reason for companies wanting people back to the office.
All this talk about collaboration and team spirit is just the publicly given reason for wanting people back to the office.

Fwiw, turning most of these buildings into livable spaces is a lot harder and more expensive than you’d expect. For many of them, it would actually be cheaper to just raze it and create a new residential building, even if it maintains the same outer dimensions.
So… rezone for residential, tear down, rebuild for residential…
Yes, that’s one possibility. But if your goal is to create a multi-unit residential housing building, you would probably choose a location that doesn’t already have a giant office building in the way.
True, so we should turn them into schools and libraries 🤩
