Five years post-COVID-19, many Americans are embracing a blend of work and home life, spurring a notable rise in office-to-residential conversions across major cities. New York City is leading this trend, predicted to transform over 8,310 office units into residential spaces by 2025, a staggering increase of 59%. Current residents of such conversions, like Jack and Alexis Curran, appreciate the vibrant living spaces filled with natural light, highlighting a key shift in urban living as people seek to redefine their work environments after pandemic disruptions.
"I love to tell my work friends this building used to be the Goldman Sachs headquarters," said 55 Broad St. resident Jack Curran.
The couple was already sold on the neighborhood. They watched 55 Broad during its construction and jumped at the chance to live inside, moving there in early December.
Their favorite aspect of the home? Unlike the typical drab office space, this new unit floods with natural light, with Alexis adding, "It changes the whole mood of our day."
New York is leading the pack in office-to-residential conversions, with 8,310 office units set to transform into homes by 2025.
