What You'll Learn:

• As office demand shrinks and buildings sit vacant, how are developers reimagining these properties to fit modern needs?
• What submarkets and assets are ripe for conversions — and how do owners, architects, and GCs weigh whether a building is worth pivoting, versus tearing down and building net-new?
• What are the best practices for converting buildings, and what incentives is the city of Chicago offering to owners and developers to help them pivot their assets?
• How can investors get the best ROI when redeveloping a building?
• What factors — be it sustainability, historic preservation, and more — are factors when considering a conversion?
