Having converted an office building into apartments, there are even more difficulties than those listed.
The complicating issue for the surrounding area is density: an office building that might have housed 1,000 workers will only have 300 to maybe 400 residents once converted. A big impact to area retailers and restaurants, who might not anyway be equipped to serve an actual neighborhood
I used to work in that building. Truly horrid design - barely any windows!
