From vacant to vibrant: How Birmingham is using old office space to create new housing
In an act befitting the Magic City, Birmingham developers are making over 1,500 apartments appear in the years to come without constructing any new buildings. While most magicians never reveal their secrets, there are two words that reveal how this feat is possible- adaptive reuse. This is the ongoing trend of transforming vacant spaces previously built for things like office work or retail into apartments or mixed-use living areas.
