Converting Office Buildings into Apartments: A Solution to Australia’s Housing Crisis?
Australia is currently facing a housing crisis, with skyrocketing prices and a shortage of affordable housing. At the same time, the pandemic has caused a shift in the workplace, leaving many office buildings in major cities underused. As a result, the idea of converting these offices into apartments has been floated as a potential solution. While this is not a new idea, it has been done before in Australia, and it is a hot topic of discussion at the World Economic Forum.
