What is Adaptive Reuse?

Adaptive reuse in real estate refers to the process of repurposing an existing building or structure for a new use. This can involve adapting the building to meet the needs of a new tenant or owner, or it can involve renovating the building to serve a different function than it was originally designed for.


Adaptive reuse is often used as a way to preserve and revitalize older buildings that are no longer suitable for their original purpose, or to make use of underutilized or vacant properties. It can also be a way to meet the changing needs of a community or to take advantage of new opportunities for development.


Examples of adaptive reuse in real estate might include converting an old warehouse into a mixed-use development with retail and residential spaces, or repurposing an abandoned office building into a hotel or apartment complex. Adaptive reuse can involve a range of renovations and modifications, from simple cosmetic updates to major structural changes.

Adaptive reuse can be a challenging and complex process, as it often involves navigating zoning and building codes, as well as financing and other financial considerations. However, it can also be a rewarding opportunity to preserve and enhance the value of an existing property, and to create a new and vibrant use for an underutilized space.


Throughout my career, I've helped commercial real estate developers identify, analyze and secure commercial properties that aligned with their goals.
