REJournals Interview with Mike Krych on Office-to-Housing Conversions

As cities across the country grapple with changing office demand and a continued need for housing, adaptive reuse is creating new opportunities to rethink existing buildings — including those from more recent eras.

In a new REjournals feature, Development Managing Partner, Mike Krych, shares his expertise on the opportunities and complexities of office-to-residential conversions through the transformation of Landmark Tower in downtown Saint Paul. Working alongside Sherman Associates, BKV helped reposition the largely vacant 1983 office tower into 187 multifamily residences, demonstrating that successful conversions aren’t limited to century-old buildings. As Mike explains, determining whether a building is a strong conversion candidate requires looking well beyond its age.
